‘Women engineers outperform men in education but not at work’
Staff Reporter
TIRUCHENGODE: Women students of engineering outperform men when it comes to marks.
They however, fall behind men at work, R. Radhakrishnan, vice chancellor, Anna University, Coimbatore, has said.
Delivering the graduation day address at the third graduation day celebrations at Vivekanandha College of Engineering for Women, near here, on Wednesday, he said women engineers faced more challenges than men, which was reflected at work places.
“At colleges, girls outshine boys by bagging maximum number of ranks. But the meritorious performance is not to be found at companies or factories where men hold most top positions,” he said.
Anna University, Coimbatore, the vice chancellor said, had plans to provide more opportunities for women in engineering education by opening a women’s college.
As for the self-financed colleges for women, he said, permissions for five only-woman colleges are awaited.
On the teaching-learning methodology, he said in the digitised world, question papers and evaluation would be done online.
Further, teachers would be asked to undergo faculty development programmes on emerging areas in respective fields.
Chairman and Secretary of Vivekanandha group of institutions M. Karunanithi declared open the convocation, in which around 1,000 students received degree certificates. Principal P. Thirunavukkarasu welcomed the gathering.
