Am getting mixed feelings while inking the "Chairman's Desk" for this issue. This will be the last time that I will be doing it as my term as Chairman comes to an end by October, 2016. Interestingly, November 2014 seems to have happened yesterday! That's when I took over the office as Chairman. The perception of accelerated completion of our term in the office is because of your lively, lovely and earnest company all through. Happy times are shorter! We, the present office bearers, have played our innings, to the best of our capabilities. Many accomplishments to feel proud. A national event, 23rd IEI Convocation with participation of record number of graduating students was conducted smoothly and successfully. Another national event, Technicians/ Students Convention & All India Seminar was organised again with record number of papers presented. These were held in Dharwad for the first time. Dedicated Website for our centre was developed and made operational. Thus centre stepped ahead to keep pace with the changing technology making itself visible globally. Our centre campus was given a face lift by painting of the entire building, changing the furniture, furnishing the function hall, etc. With the active association with members of Forum of Consulting Civil Engineers, plantation of tree saplings was

done in the centre's campus. These are special saplings as they represent rare species and are of engineering importance also. Efforts were put in, to improve the quality of ET Talk, the monthly bulletin. One more Engineering college was added as Institutional Member of IEI. Our centre associated itself with the surrounding engineering colleges of Dharwad, Vijayapur and Hallyal in conducting several technical activities like seminars, conferences, workshops etc. NDRF Sub Centre was started at our centre which is expected to give a fillip to engineering research activities in this area. There are many things which were thought of but could not be completed. We had planned to organize a workshop on “Retirement Planning for Elders” and “Women Engineers Meet” but these remained unrealized. If you remember, in the very first issue of my column, I had proposed to start with "Innovative Idea Corner". Somehow it could not go on for long. In the first idea, I had mentioned about a case of electrical testing requirement demanding very high current. Then I did not reveal the idea -- let me tell it now -- we used welding transformer! As you know, welding transformers are characterized by low voltage and high current output. Though personally I don't like talking more, I was compelled to, due to

the protocol that Chairman of the centre presides over the meetings at our centre. For you, it was too much of listening to the same person! Thanks to all those members of the audience who have received me with the same patience and enthusiasm till the end. I take this opportunity to thank you all, my dear corporate members, for your active participation and support in all our activities. My respectful thanks to those elder members who personally called me on phone and appreciated our work. I take it as their blessings for all of us. My thanks to Er. Jadhav, Honorary Secretary, all the Committee Members, Sri Pramod Vaidya, Sri Basappa & Smt Devamma of Dharwad Local Centre for their positive contribution in all the activities. With the term of present office bearers coming to an end, the next team is ready with Er. M. Narayan as Chairman Elect, Dr. R. L. Chakrasali as Hon. Secretary Elect and all the other committee members. I congratulate them and also wish them all the best in their tenure. May good activities continue and flourish. I mentioned in the beginning that I am getting mixed feelings while inking this column for this issue. I wrote "Chairman's Desk" for two years, a long duration for that matter. And associations of long duration are stronger and more intimate, making parting little emotional! Emotions apart. Together let us complement each other to make our living happier, contented and meaningful. Wish you all the best.

ET - Talk

The Institution of Engineers (India), Dharwad Local Centre Dharwad in association with National D e s i g n R e s e a r c h a n d Foundation Dharwad Sub Centre, Dharwad organized Panel Discussion on “Future of Engineering Education”, Dr.S.B.Vanakudre Principal, S .

Principal, K L E Institute of Technology, Hubbali and Dr. Vadiraj V. Katti Principal, K L V. D. Rural Institute of Technology Haliyal participated as panel members.

Autonomous and Non Autonomous of Engineering Colleges both are necessary for the qualitative technical education in coming years. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. In these days of competition all engineering colleges are at stake. Reforms are necessary to win in the competition.

Skill development in higher education at all levels is also crucial to the placement, opportunities in the campus. Survival of the fittest holds good. Research and Technology are two sides of the same coin for Engineering Education

Lateral entry of diploma holders in degree education/lateral entry of ITI holders into diploma has posed problems which have to be solved for better quality. Thus opined all the panel members who are the principals of Engineering colleges of Hubbali, Dharwad and Haliyal

Prof. Aravind Kulkarni Coordinator National Design and Research Foundation and Director Planning and Relations KLE Technological University anchored the panel discussions with questions and providing audience also to ask questions. With a result it was active dynamic, serious interaction and lasted for over an hour.

PANEL DISUCSSION ON FUTURE OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION

7 ET - Talk

In the September issue of ET TALK our Chairman Dr. M.R.Kappali wrote a wonderful article on Education : A Business. Until reading this article I was also under the impression and opinion that Education is a sacred and noble profession. This article made me to think education can be a business.

But still now a day's education is taking a shape of bad business, which was earlier a good business (VIDYA DANA) and hence let us aim at making education a good business.

Power NewsSOLAR PANELS SURPASS COAL FIRED GENERATION IN UNITED KINGDOM

Prof. Pratapsinh K. Desai, President Indian SocietyFor Technical Education, New Delhi visited The Institution of Engineers (India), Dharwad Local Centre on 01.10.2016

Er. R. S. Doddamani

For Six months until September, more electricity came

from sunlight than coal fired power stations in the UK. The solar

generated nearly 7000 gigawatt hours of electricity between April

and September, about 10 per cent more than 6300 gigawatt hours

produced by coal during the same period. The figures represent a

dramatic turnaround in the UK's electricity supplies. The first ever

day when solar produced more than coal was only on 9 April-when

there was no coal fired electricity for the first time since 1882.But

then May became the first ever month when this happened. In our

country also this may become a reality after 5-6 years.
