Doing traditional technical academic courses these days leads to lack in practical knowledge many times.It used to result in bad experiences while doing job. The change in key traits can create major differences while doing job. There are certain basics in every trade of engineering which gradually can change the set of skills in four years of spans if a student can get into the field with a proper correct direction.

There are different softwares in engineering which could help students in simulating the different drills related to engineering. The CAD software can really put soul in engineering students while doing simulation regarding different conditions. 

Sometimes it is good to participate in the practical activities by starting a small project.This initiative can bring some set of skills naturally in learner. In short,taking small steps towards practical learning can create interest in the learner & interest is the major key to attain expertise in any field of engineering as well as life.
