Interestingly, where the employers found the fresh engineering graduates most lacking in is ‘high-order thinking’ skills – critical thinking and problem solving.
This quote is from
The Hindu Business Line - shared by
Sarfaraz Hassan via Facebook - citing a world bank paper about the quality of new engineering graduates in India, but this is not an India-specific problem. These ‘high-order thinking’ skills are really important and many could improve in this regard. It’s not rocket science! All it takes is a lot of curiosity, the desire to understand how things work and why they are like they are; and practice, practice, practice! It’s never too early and never too late to develop your skillset!
