College Fairs - Good Reason to Stay Home

I attended another college fair at a Massachusetts high school where nearly 100 colleges were in attendance. Sort of. These fairs are one-stop opportunities to see what a college has to offer, but it's really a time to pick up the school's literature and meet an admissions person.

That's all.

Unfortunately, many of these colleges didn't send their own admissions people, but instead sent people with dated perspectives: alumni with sweet but irrelevant memories for a 16-year-old who shows up to the booth. Perhaps guilty of such bad marketing were colleges like Villanova, Hamilton, Hobart & Williams, Wake Forest, and UMaine. Maybe they knew something about college fairs that made it worthwhile NOT to send their admissions people.

For this post, I submit the following observation. According to my own subjective categories, here are the colleges that impressed me the most:

Most creative and practical presentation catalog: Bridgewater State

Most influenced by a student's interest in their college (HINT: send emails, make lots of phone calls, show your face frequently to admission people): Holy Cross

Most informative catalog so you don't have to visit campus: UMaine, Orono

Most bang-for-your-buck (3 required internships): Endicott

Most worth-looking-into engineering college: Illinois Institute of Technology

Most noticeable college for creative writing: Eckerd (sunny Florida)

Most attractive for accounting and math majors: Eastern Connecticut Univ

Best packaging for college fairs: St Michael's

Most frequented booth: Northeastern

College fairs should be attended only by students (read: parents should stay home) so they can meet the admissions people. It's a way of getting a first sense of the school, but hardly enough of a sense to establish an objective opinion (read: students should stay home).

College fairs are a classic Show & Tell: Here's our fantastic catalog, you should love us because of these three hundred and sixty-seven reasons - with photos, which means you should feel soothing goosebumps about spending your parents' life-savings with us.

If you must, collect literature and free pens because that's about all you or your student are going to get out of it. I suspect 16- and 17-year-olds are more savvy than the colleges: they discovered the internet a long time ago, and they can order all the college's marketing stuff online. Plus, a student makes an impression by visiting the campus, not the fair.

That was the "inside" info I got from these admissions people...who showed up.

Civil Engineering - India

The profession of civil engineering includes the designing, construction and maintenance of the buildings, roads, bridges, railways and other structures. The professionals who have studied civil engineering India are mainly responsible for planning and designing of concrete structures and then executing the project at an estimated scale. The students who aspire to study civil engineering are required to have sharp analytical and reasoning mind. They should also know the effective ways of communication with all his or her team members for successful execution of the project. A civil engineer is also expected to be skilled in surveying the construction site by keeping in mind various environmental issues.

Several new branches of civil engineering India has come up like structural engineering, finite element analysis, artificial intelligence and neural networks.

The students of civil engineering are actually taught to tackle all aspects of planning, designing and construction of projects. Students learn the fundamentals of structures, foundations, environmental managements, hydraulics, project management, irrigation engineering and cost transportation engineering.

The general course duration is 4 years for B.E or B.Tech students. The diploma courses are usually for 2 to 3 years. The selection of the students is done on the basis of their merit. The students who are eligible for civil engineering course must have science in their 10+2 level with the combination of physics, chemistry and mathematics as their main subjects. The institutes offering courses conduct various entrance examinations through which the eligible candidates are short listed. The Indian Institute of Technology enlists students who have appeared the JEE or the Join Entrance Examination.

Selection of the candidates for general course like the MSc or M.Tech are offered by a number of universities of India who select candidates through 'All India Combined Entrance exam' conducted by the JNU, New Delhi. By cracking through GATE one can get the opportunity to study the subject in the IITs as 2 years or 4 semester M.Tech course.

The following are some of the institutes where civil engineering courses are offered and taught.

• AANM & WRSR Polytechnic, located in Krishna Dist.
• Adhiparasakthi Engineering College, located in Kanchipuram
• Agra Institute Of Engineering & Technology, located in Agra
• All India Shri Shivaji Memorial Societys College of Engineering, located in Pune
• Amal Jyothi Engineering College, located in Kottayam
• Amrutvahini College of Engineering, located in Ahmednagar
• Anjuman Engineering College, located in Bangalore
• Bangalore Institute of Technology, located in Bangalore
• College Of Engineering, located in Bhubaneshwar
• Dr J J Magdum College Of Engineering, located in Kolhapur

There are several other institutes in India where one can study civil engineering. You are advised to be aware of the all the educational institutes offering civil engineering before you select your ideal one.

A Civil Engineering Career

Are you curious about how things work and how to make them better? Do you enjoy solving problems and putting your ideas into action? If so, you may want to consider a career in civil engineering. Civil engineering is ideal if you're socially aware and interested in working with people to solve problems and meet challenges. A career in civil engineering can help build a better future for yourself and for the world we live in.

Civil engineers plan and oversee the construction of roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply systems. As a civil engineering professional, you will be directly responsible for public safety and welfare. Your buildings must perform according to their specifications. Your highways must carry traffic safely. Theses engineers have to think about many factors in the design process, from the construction and cost of the project, to the environmental impact and life expectancy of the project. They also have to calculate potential hazards such as Mother Nature, and how the project will hold up under environmental pressures. Some civil engineers work in administrative positions such as a supervisor of a construction site to city engineer. Others may work in design, construction, research, and education.

As with any career, success begins with a well-rounded education. Preparation for a civil engineering career should start in high school with core courses in English, algebra, geometry, advanced math, physics and a foundation in history and social studies. A bachelor degree is a basic requirement to becoming a civil engineer. More than 35% of civil engineering graduates today go on to earn a master's degree. Many pursue a master's degree later while working. Tuition reimbursement for this is common when you are already employed as a civil engineer. Obtaining a master's degree or Ph. D. can help you to become an expert in your chosen field. As in any profession, civil engineering education is endless. To keep up with the changes, many choose to continue their education with programs made available by universities and by professional societies, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (http://www.asce.org/asce.cfm)

Approximately 237,000 civil engineers are employed in the US today. Due to broad-spectrum population growth and a greater emphasis on infrastructure security, more civil engineers will be needed to design and construct large buildings and building complexes as well as safe and higher capacity transportation, water supply, and pollution control systems. Their expertise will also be needed to repair or replace existing roads, bridges, and other public structures. Construction and related industries employ civil engineers, so employment opportunities will vary by geographic area. If the construction industry sees economy related decreases, the need for civil engineers can decrease as well. Civil engineers can earn from $43,000 to $90,000 per year depending on experience and specialization.
