Shiksha Top Questions

Hi, It will continue to be in demand for several reasons. Many engineers will avoid that field because of the attention to details it requires and the associated liability. Structural engineers are the reason people don't worry about buildings and bridges collapsing, and they demand a lot of respect.The the largest shift in materials in the future will be in composites and designs using high strength fibers that are strategically placed by structural engineers to withstand forces. I believe 3D printers will increase interest in using composite materials and they will start being utilized much more in construction in the future.nI have often been wrong about my predictions as to the future, so keep that in mind.nUnfortunately, it is very difficult to see a change as rapid as with the computer industry because unlike our industry they don't need billions of dollars to create something. I intend to say that our industry is very funding intensive and with depleting funds - it will be tough to get a rapid turnaround. Coming to the future in terms of technologies, contour grafting - 3D printing of houses has the potential to make its entry into regular housing practices. From the materials standpoint, sustainability is being stressed upon but a balance between sustainability and economy is preventing a lot of materials from making its entry - any advances on that balance can change a lot of materials we deal with. A change in design philosophies - limit design to performance-based, strength-based to durability based etc. Is happening to create a need for a change in our codes of practice and practice itself. The needed skill from labor is reducing with high tech products (like SCC, etc.). Which can make for a huge difference in terms of employed demographic and that could ultimately lead to more efficient construction methods.these years, we're seeing a lot of sustainability and full cradle-to-cradle. Also, we're seeing higher levels of integration between constructions and installations, in the name of energy efficiency. Structural engineering - at least in the building sector - is a rather conservative place, and new technologies only sift slowly through the branch. Materials are refined and so forth, but electronic technology is mostly something you add afterwards - it's not a part of the structural engineering itself. All the best.

Hi, At the expense of sounding biased, I think its pretty exciting to be a part of the urban planning, both its practice and its study as a discipline. I am an engineer by training and my graduate education in planning has incredibly expanded my worldview. On the theoretical side, the reconciliation of post-structuralist (post-modern) tradition within planning has been contentious and the concern, I think, hasn't yet subsided. How does the discipline, as a modernist project, conform to the demands of contingency, fluidity, polyvocality advanced by the post-structuralist movement, is the main question in the discipline.nTo put it simply, the demands placed by the 'real world' (ground-up participation, collaboration, adaptive governance, diversity in policy and plan making, salience of projects while maintaining plurality in process and outcomes etc.). Are pretty complex (note: not complicated) for them to be comprehended within a discipline designed to be reductionist in nature (segregation of planning departments, roles and responsibilities, capital-centric-evaluation tools like benefits-cost analysis etc., ).nHow can the top-down governance structure inject participative models of engagement? How can spatial and temporal dependencies evident in real world outcomes of policies and plans give way to a more adaptive approach? This dovetails into the practical side of planning. Issues like climate change, resource depletion challenges, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, ecological challenge and loss of ecosystem services etc., are extremely important issues that gain amplified focus in planning, simply because it is here that man and his environment become the main thesis, the main challenge or object of the discipline.given these theoretical and practical aspects, planning evolution is rife, in meanings ascribed as to what the discipline should be about and what roles should planners assume. One can stay current by considering how major planning associations (APA, ACSP etc.). Shape the discourse and what comes off their position on aforementioned questions. How do major planning consultancies in US and in European countries approach the discipline in their work (is it stuck in neoliberal ideologies or conducive for other traditions like communicative and new urbanist projects).note: Admittedly, my attempt in answering this question has been from a generalist theoretical perspective. All the best.

Since there is so much of competition in design entrance exams nowadays, it can't be said which is the best coaching for the preparation.
For Pearl Academy, the institute does not accommodate any preparatory centre or coaching and moreover, the exam syllabus is almost the same as that of other design entrance exams, so you may join any coaching. There are many coaching centres offering full-time classroom preparatory courses as well as crash courses of 10, 14 and 28 days. I would suggest opting for a full-time classroom in any of the following coachings you like: AFA- Academy of Fashion and Arts, BRDS- Bhanwar Rathore Design Studio, Pahal design. These coachings offer preparation for Pearl Academy, NIFT, NID and many other design entrance tests, they are considered to be the best as they make the student practice a lot more than one can imagine. They will prepare you well for objective as well as the subjective part.apart from this you can also go through teachmewell.co.in which has the option of online courses as well.

Taking beautiful photos and capturing those memories isn't as hard as you think. It doesnt require expensive equipment, fancy studios, or high-tech editing software. All you need is dedication and some simple concepts to really improve your photography. You can get as deep as you want, but even mastering the basics will improve your photography by leaps and bounds.
Everyone I talk to loves taking photos. We live in a photo-obsessed culture. How many times in a day do you take pictures with your phone? And how many times do you think I wish my pictures were better?
If you've thought you always needed a big expensive camera, then trust me when I say any camera can take good photos if you can take good photos.
Tip from a pro: Instead of trying to work with a large media organisation like a magazine or newspaper, become a small media icon yourself.
If you have a large and influential presence on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, you might be more appealing to these organizations than old school media. So, start a blog, gain followers, and who knows, you could be their next photographer.
You can look at this link for a list of photography college sin Delhi NCR. There's generally no specific course for travel photography, all the basic of photography are taught in a generalised photography course.

Since textile is something used in daily needs, it is a growing topic now and then. A textile designer can be employed in the garment, fashion, home furnishing and the interiors segment among other industries. The textile industry in India is evolving from the handloom, power loom and craft sectors to newer areas, like the paper and automobile industries. For example, automotive textile deals with the fabric used in car interiors. For this, one should have three knowledge of the fabric to be used in the car seats which should be thick, durable, etc. Similarly, in other subfields, the textile is of great importance and has a very good scope regarding employment. For instance, one should know that Surat in Gujarat has one of the most known textile set up that employs about 40% of the population working in the textile sector.

Final Cut Pro is the globally acclaimed and used software or tool to edit and make movies/films. As we all know and acknowledge that in India, there is a great demand for quality video editing because most of the mass media or film making children are less exposed to the actual work they are required to do. FCP-If the candidate knows the know-how of the tool and possesses a certificate as well is a selling commodity for sure.
-Creativity
-Improvisation
-Quick Response Skills are the three major things needed in an FCP user. If these are present and the Final Cut Pro user is well-versed with the skills-shortcuts there are ample opportunities in production houses, news channels, filmmaking, local level production houses and educational Institutions, other than the ones teaching mass communication and media subjects, also demand people who are good at FCP because this is an age of MOOCs as well as virtual learning, smart classrooms have enhanced the demands for educational programmes. So this video editing software remains the winner all around. The certificate in FCP will certainly get one a job proving the skills and knowledge of FCP.

The salary question can be answered in two ways-
Earning through projects that the screenwriter gets and does, the second way is getting hired by some production house and then earn a good amount. The salary ranges from a mere 20k to a Lac even as it is a creative domain and we can not restrict it to a salary like any other service sector job. The answer to the other is shared as described earlier in an answer of the same kind.
Screen Writer- A career that takes you to be the actual owner of the foundation work of any video work be it a movie, documentary, comic or animation work. It can also be seen as a screenplay writer.
