Visakhapatnam MP M. Sribharat has called upon students to adapt to emerging changes in technology, and update their knowledge and skills to stay ahead in the race. Hailing the industry for providing a platform to students in this regard, he suggested an interactive approach to draw their attention.
He was speaking at the inaugural of the 2nd Edition of the two-day AP Digital Technology Summit 26 (APDTS 26), at the VMRDA Children Arena, here, on Friday (January 09). While appreciating the APDTI for organising the event to give an overview of the changes emerging in the field of technology, he said it would be useful only when students and also teachers take advantage of the opportunity.
He called for a proper mindset among engineering college faculty, who think that once they secure a job in a college, they need not update their knowledge. They might be good at theory but unless they keep themselves abreast of the changes, they would be teaching the same outdated syllabus, which they had studied decades ago.
The students should also be prepared to upskill themselves as technology is changing rapidly. He suggested to the summit organisers that interactive sessions between domain experts and the students would be far more beneficial than giving lectures to the students on the subject.
