NTRI is best or Engineering is best? Pls advise

Hello MAdhu..

Thanks for contacting Careers360..

According to me Engineering is the best..

Professor Best used an analogy of wanting to cross a river to get to a pub to watch a game.

Some of the answers included swimming, building a bridge, finding a bridge upstream, jumping the river, flying over the river, using a boat, and damning the river. No answer was out of the question.

Professor Best then had us consider what makes an answer the best.

“Simplicity,” a girl in the back of the room offered.

“The fastest way,” the student to the right of me answered.

Both I and another student shouted out an answer at the same time. I said “whichever is cheapest.” He suggested “the safest way.” A few students laughed at irony of how our replies often conflict in the real world.

The truth is all of these things have to be taken in to account in engineering: ethics, politics, feasibility, safety, economics, and ease of use to just name a few. The best answer is whichever answer makes the unsatisfactory situation satisfactory.

This lead us to the whole premise of our project. “You are to figure out a way to measure the amount of moisture in soil. There are many ways to do this, but I urge you to try to come up with your own process. There is one rule to this, and that rule is not to just take a solution from an upperclassmen or look it up on the internet.”Looking it up would destroy the whole concept of the project. It’s not about coming up with a final result; it’s about understanding the process. Sometimes it’s not about the destination, but the journey to get there.
