This provides students with practical skills and industry experience that allows them to get absorbed immediately in the industry upon graduation.

What is the difference between a polytechnic course and an engineering course?

Polytechnic Education
  • First of all, the duration of both courses is the same, i.e. four years with 8 semesters.
  • Secondly, both the courses are recognized and impart knowledge of similar concepts to the students.
  • Both BE and B. Tech have complimenting roles, where Engineers are more theoretical hence focused and speculated in research, complex analysis, and design, while Engineering Technologists are more specialized in testing and evaluation, manufacturing, construction and production, and technical analysis hence more tangible.

 

BTech:

  • BTech is a skill-based course
  • Industrial visits and internships are compulsory for BTech
  • More than the theoretical aspects, the main focus is on practical applications
  • Since it is more skill-based and technology-oriented, the course is updated frequently

 

BEng:

  • BE is a knowledge-based course
  • Industrial visits and internships are essential but not mandatory
  • The main focus is on understanding the fundamentals and gaining theoretical knowledge
  • Since it is more knowledge-based, the course is not as frequently updated as the other

What is the difference between TECHNOLOGIST & ENGINEERS?

Admissions

Technologists and Engineers are both professional roles that involve the application of scientific and technical knowledge to solve problems and create solutions, but there are key differences between the two;

  • A technologist is a professional who specializes in the practical application of technology. They are typically involved in the design, testing, implementation, and troubleshooting of systems and technologies. Technologists often work under the supervision of engineers, providing technical support and assistance in implementing engineering designs
  • In contrast, an engineer is a professional who is trained to design and develop new technologies and systems. They use a wide range of technical knowledge and skills to conceive, plan, and create new products, structures, or systems. Engineers often work on large-scale projects, and oversee the work of technologists and other technical professionals.

In summary, while technologists are focused on the practical application of technology, engineers are responsible for creating new technologies and designing systems from scratch.

Career path:

  • Test and evaluation
  • Manufacturing & Construction
  • Production
  • Technical analysis
  • Distribution and sales
  • More Tangible

 

Engineer:

  • Eng. graduate is the designer or the research
  • Eng. design the roads
