Post Covid-19 Academic Behavior of Students

As the situation of the whole world has changed in the past two years due to Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has not only attacked the health of the human being as well the mental peace and economic condition of one and all. It indirectly affected the social and academic behavior of students. In this pandemic, online teaching tool has become a great option for teaching and learning. As two sides of a coin, there are some disadvantages over many advantages of online teaching and learning tools. Initially, it was one-way communication which causes a lack of learning interest. It adversely affected the self-motivation of students, resulting in stress and anxiety for students. One major disadvantage was the lack of practical exposure, which created a loophole in technical education. Covid-19 pandemic has drastically changed the academic behavior of students. They feel much more comfortable in self-isolation. They start believing in online/open book exam systems due to which their behavior tended towards less learning. For overcoming this behavior of students we have to counsel them toward learning. Although this is one side of the coin, another side of Post Covid 19 is, that students' self-learning capabilities of student have improved. They are now able to find good resources and good online lectures. They are not dependent to one book or one teacher for their academic advancement. Keeping the demand of online things, the Government of India is also doing its part in a great manner. Ministry of Higher Education, Government of India has initiated the Virtual Lab Concept and they have developed many Virtual Labs, where students can perform their experiments virtually and can have the feel of real experiments. Now the concept of “Virtual Reality” has been introduced.

Advanced Medical Technology: How Health Sector is Influenced By Technology

Over the past two decades, the use of advanced medical technology (Biomedicine, a multidisciplinary specialist in medicine, computer science, mathematics, and many others) has become a popular and important topic. The medical industry needs new technological know-how in order to evaluate information appropriately. Although recent advances in medical engineering has been made possible by sophisticated computer-assisted techniques that include computer-assisted diagnostics and computer-assisted radiography, the development of integration techniques including soft computing (SC), information processing, and data mining have caught on the sector. In the modern era, soft computer systems play a vital role in solving various problems and providing promising solutions. Due to the popularity of soft-tissue methods have also been used in healthcare data to diagnose and obtain better outcomes than traditional methods effectively. Soft computer systems have the ability to adapt themselves to the root of the problem. Another factor is a good balance between testing procedures and exploitation. These features make soft computer systems more powerful, more reliable, and more efficient. The features mentioned above make soft computer systems more relevant and suitable for health care data.

Impact of Blockchain Technology in Health Care Ecosystem

Growing countries spend a good portion of their gross domestic product (GDP) on health care. However, hospital costs continue to increase, and inefficient systems and health data gaps are poised to continue. This is one field where Blockchain technology can enhance the circumstance. It can do many things, from providing secure encryption to patient information to managing epidemics. Estonia is a pioneer in the field, having begun using Blockchain's power in health care in 2012. All healthcare payments, 95% of health data, and 99% of prescription drug information are stored digitally via Blockchain. Blockchain refers to a fixed shared record of a series of tasks, each consisting of a single block and blocks encrypted with cryptographic keys ("hashes"). These keys or signatures are stored in shared labels, compiled by several nodes, or connected processes. Thus, each node has a copy of the entire chain, constantly synchronized and maintained. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the benefits of Blockchain technology include its resistance to disruption, the nature of digital ledger segregation, and the impossibility of changing recently published work among the book-sharing community. Thus, this technology is also called digital ledger technology (DLT).

Gravity of Physics in Engineering Domain

Engineering Physics is the motif of foundation course in Engineering. It basically covers the essential concept of Quantum Physics, Wave Optics, Theory of Solids, Laser Physics and Fiber Optics and Electrostatics which covers wide areas of Physics.

Fundamentals of Engineering Physics develop scientific approach for higher technical education which provides a platform for future technological advancement. For example, how Physics is essential in Civil Engineering. In Physics we study forces, harmonic vibrations and oscillations, elasticity, tension, tensile strength etc. which helps in calculations for designing and construction work. In the same manner Physics is useful in other verticals of Engineering. Some topics like strength of materials, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics etc. are the major part of Mechanical Engineering. The concept of spin in Physics is implemented as a direct application of spin speed on data storage in Computer Science and Technology. Physics develops the problem solving ability, logical and intellectual thinking. No other substitute is there for Physics to solve complex problems of Engineering. Physics is a multidisciplinary subject. We see many phenomena of Physics in our daily life. 

“Quantum Physics teaches us that we can simultaneously exit in many places, under certain conditions”.

- Amit Ray 

In all it is impossible to imagine a building without base and essentials of Physics works as a base of Engineering Building.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering as a Career Choice

 Electrical and electronic designers work at the bleeding edge of viable innovation, improving the gadgets and frameworks we utilize each day. From sun based energy frameworks to cell phones, we improve to meet society's correspondence, tech and energy needs.

Electrical Power is essential to present day life - power age, transport, medication, quantum data, registering, man-made brainpower, cryptography, correspondences, the rundown is interminable. So what recognizes electrical from electronics? Set forth plainly, electrical specialists manage the stock and stream of force; electronic designers make the electronic gadgets we utilize each day.

Electrical designing is tied in with power: 

1. Creating, conveying putting away and communicating it 

2. Enormous scope frameworks to circulate and control power 

3. Circuits where power streams starting with one point then onto the next 

4. High-Voltage applications.

Electronic designing is about electrical circuits and segments: 

1. Making, planning and testing them.

2. Coordinating them into PC equipment and frameworks 

3. Circuits that interaction, and have dynamic capacities 

4. Low-voltage applications and with low-strength current 

5. Advanced mechanics, AI, calculation, interchanges.

The two fields are centered on certifiable applications. On the off chance that you are energized by maths and science, love innovation and its expected advantages for society, this is the course for you.

Scopes of Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering. We cannot think about the world without civil engineers. Civil engineers are always needed for the development of the society. For the development of any nation civil engineers are must. As we know India is a developing nation so we required development, and for that civil engineers are needed. Civil engineers are needed for Highway projects, Railway projects, Construction of buildings, construction of dams, construction of tunnels, construction of industries, construction of Airports, construction of metro rail etc.

Apart from this dream project of river linking also requires civil engineers it will reduce the chances of flood in various parts of our country.  It will help in solving the water problem in some areas. 

There are various branches of civil engineering

1. Structural Engineering 

2. Geotechnical Engineering

3. Transportation Engineering

4. GIS and remote sensing
