Expressing yourself technically matters!

Means of technical expression

1
The best platform to express ourselves is the “Class-room” or “Laboratory”. You can have the best impression on your students through:
Ø  Class notes
Ø  Lecture presentation slides
Ø  Exercises / question banks prepared for students.
Ø Special tips and tricks for them to understand and score good marks in the subject……and many more that depends upon one’s urge to put in maximum efforts for teaching the subject.
2
Prepare high quality “Lab-manuals” that will be accepted globally for the laboratory assignments you conduct. This will add to the following values to your credentials as:
Ø  Standardization and uniformity of methods.
Ø  Clarity of fundamental concepts amongst students.
Ø  Clarity amongst students about objectives / significance and impact of assignment they are performing.
Ø  Ease of planning, scheduling and tracking the progress of laboratory conduction.
Ø  Consequently, it will develop discipline and timeliness that helps assessment during laboratory conduction.
Ø Last but not the least, your lab manual may guide your juniors / peers and will boost your moral and self confidence.
3
Write technical articles for a college magazine or other magazines in technical education supported by ISTE or CSI, especially for computer engineers.
4
Day to day technical communication in the external world in the form of various applications, formal letters, covering letters, and formal mails to our stakeholders does matter a lot. We must also seriously improve on the same!

To sum up, let me share a quote:

Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer.

- Ray Bradbury
