Teknologis vs Jurutera

Aku terbaca benda ni tadi..
 
Maka, bertelagah lah antara geng Pure Engineering and Engineering Technology.
 
Kalau org tanya aku: Betul ke direction gomen nk uplift TVET ni? Kan Pure Engineering dah ada. Kenapa nk ada Engineering Technology lagi?
 
Note: TVET ni luas ye. Tapi dlm context engineering. Aku limitkan scope hanya pada Pure Engineering and Engineering Technology.
 
Jawapan aku? Yes, apa gomen buat betul.
 
Kenapa aku kata betul?Hakikatnya most of our industry dalam Malaysia ni are using current technology and machine. Bukan develop new technology and new engineering technique.
 
Mesin kilang pun beli dari China.
 
Ada product pun, upgrade sikit² then re-badge je.
 
Aku tak kata tak ada langsung company yg buat R&D. Tapi R&D company yg ada too minimal dlm negara kita.
 
So, apa kena mengena hal ni dgn Pure Engineering and Engineering Technology?
 
Kalau kita refer The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment (UK-SPEC) under Comparison between Incorporated Engineer and Chartered Engineer.
 
Note lagi sekali:
Chartered Engineer= Grad Pure Engineering
Incorporated Engineer= Grad Engineering Technology.
 
Mmg ada perbezaan yg sgt jelas sebenarnya antara Pure Engineering dgn Engineering Technology.
 
Pure Engineering ni kerjanya develop solutions to complex engineering problems using NEW or existing technologies, and through INNOVATION, creativity and technical analysis.
 
Engineering Technology pulak manage applications of CURRENT and DEVELOPING technology, and may undertake engineering design, development, manufacture, construction and operation.
 
So, senang cerita expectationnya grad Pure Engineering ni akan hasilkan benda baru.
 
Engineeering Technology ni pulak apply and improve benda yg dah ada.
 
Dua² ni ada competence skills set yg berbeza.
 
So,dgn keadaan negara kita yg banyak guna CURRENT Technology bukan DEVELOP NEW Technology. Maka, mmg graduan Engineering Technology lah yg sgt sesuai untuk support industry kita.
 
Disebabkan itulah jugak kita nampak scope kerja Pure Engineering and Engineering Technology ni seakan-akan sama je bila kita tgk dalam industry.
 
Pure ke,techology ke, keja dia sama je..Bukak manual mesin, then buat mantainence..Tak boleh solve,call vendor luar mari kasi betulkan.
 
Kalau kat site construction pulak, kau kena ada skill kaki gaduh sama kong si kong. Kalau tak kaki gaduh,mmg kau kena pijak lah kat site. Pastu kena buat report, monitor progress, pastikan konkrit yg diorder ikut spec and bla2..
 
Ini mcm punya kerja. Pure ka, technology ka. Dua-dua boleh buat ma…kata tokey Lim..
 
Lain lah company kau nk kena buat formulation baru untuk konkrit yg spec nya low volume but high strength! Nak buat machine, pakai kamera image je dah boleh tau buah epal tu manis ke masam!
 
Kalau industry kita mmg bnyk buat “benda² gila” ni. Maka grad pure engineering mmg in high demand.
 
But hakikatnya tidak wahai kawan² semua…Kita hanya menggunakan output “kegilaan” org lain..huhu..sedih kan?
 
With all these..Aku sebagai grad Pure Engineering memang pahit untuk telan hakikat ni..Sebab semacam Pure Engineering ni dah semakin hilang valuenya dlm industry.
 
Itu pasal lah aku bukak company aku sendiri untuk support dua-dua competence person ni.
 
1st, aku kena buat kerja gila.Aku pecahkan kepala untuk develop new technology, new way of doing things using technology. Ini aku bagi geng Pure Engineering buat..
 
Dah siap product gila ni, kena keep improve product yg dah ada ni..So,segala improvement ni aku bagi ke geng² Engineering Technology. Tak kira lah kau nak improve tang mana..Nak improve based on customer feedback ka, internal finding on the current process flow ka. Janji improve! Baru lah kita boleh bersaing dgn geng² global!
 
Dah tu,apa jadi kat geng pure engineering kalau product tu dah siap? Jawapannya,create another new product, new technology. Then,dah siap..pass lagi ke geng Engineering Technology..
 
Begitulah cyclenya dalam company aku sekarang ni..
.
Kalau kita yang dlm Engineering ni tak buat cycle and ecosystem ni,siapa lagi nk buat. Betul tak?
 
Done sepatah dua kata mlm ni setelah sekian lama menyepi😬
P/s: Kalau korang baca sampai sini. Terima kasih ya.🙏🏻
