A CAREER AS AN ASTRONAUT • If you want to become an astronaut, you must be fit, not only physically but mentally also. • You can be a teacher or a scientist and still become an astronaut. • Usually, though, you can become an astronaut in one of these slots — as a a c o m - m a n d e r or co-pilot of a space shuttle; as a mission specialist; or as a payload specialist. • A mission specialist is a person who focuses on the special mission of that particular craft. It may have to do with conducting specific experiments, or testing a specific gadget. • When the mission deals with doing multiple experiments, but you are still a specialist in one area only, you can then go as a payload specialist. Both payload specialists and mission specialists are essentially scientists. What do you study? You can’t study a specific subject which will directly make you an astronaut. But superior qualifications matter these days. A research background is of great help. So try and get a PhD. Age will not ...

HIGHER STUDY IN CANADA Canada, which comprises ten provinces and three territories, is the second largest country in the world. Here, education is the responsibility of the provincial government while the federal government plays a marginal role. Each province boasts of quality post-secondary institutions and competes with the others. Admitting that the absence of a cohesive international plan is a challenge for Canada, Rodney Briggs, President, Canadian Education Centre Network (CECN), says,“It is tough when we have to compete with other countries such as the US, UK and new entrants like New Zealand and Australia, who are also doing well in the overseas market. It can be confusing for Indian students with every province marketing itself as an individual entity.” A high rejection rate for student visas and the requirement of 16 years of education for admission into a postgraduate programme (the Indian system is 12+3, ie, 15 years) hasn’t helped Canada score well with Indian stude...

THE leather sector in India is categorised by the government as one of the crust sectors, and it is one of the very few industries that has a large employment generation potential. Predominantly export-oriented, in 2006-07, the industry earned about three billon dollars in finished leather, footwear, garments and leather article segments, making it the fourth largest export earner after gems, jewellery, textiles, and engineering goods. Moreover, since the European Union put up an anti-dumping duty on products made by China and Vietnam, India has become a lucrative, alternative source with cheap labour and upgraded technology. Due to technological advancements in the sector special care is taken towards environmental protection. It is no more considered to be a polluting industry. “Most of the tanning industries especially in Tamil Nadu, are equipped with treatment plants, which is a mandatory requirement for the tanning sector to commission an effluent treatment plant and this is on...

If you are genuinely interested in the environment, enjoy travelling, physical activity, have sharp reasoning and analytical abilities, a basic knowledge of computers and are ready to try to tackle society's most challenging problems then this is definitely an option for you. The Earth sciences, which are interdisciplinary, include a study of the ithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air) and biosphere (life). LAND “As far as the scope is concerned, geology is really moving ahead, especially as the hunt for natural resources intensifies. Economic geology, which is concerned with research in ore, mineral resource, coal and petroleum reserves, offers an extremely challenging career,” expounds Dr Praveen Henriques, St Xavier’s College, Mumbai.The lithosphere or the solid outermost covering of the earth’s surface can be oceanic or continental. A thorough knowledge of the genesis of soil — the primary resource for food production, its evolution, practical applications w...

career in environmental law IN the recent past, growing awareness and sensitivity towards the environment have ensured that both the common man and major industrial houses are sentient about the effects of human activities on our natural surroundings and resources. This has led to an increasing need for professionals who can take up litigation related to the environment. It is no wonder then, that the field of environmental law today offers tremendous potential. "Environmental law has to do with trying to prevent what nature has given us from being depleted and destroyed," explains Vivek Menon, lawyer, adding, "Public interest litigations are often borne out of such noble causes." There are many avenues for a lawyer working in this field. There are employment opportunities for lawyers with industries, which may face litigation related to environmental law, as well as NGOs who may be fighting for certain environmental causes. Public interest litigations, for ca...

Control engineering is an engineering discipline that focuses on the mathematical modelling systems of a diverse nature, analysing their dynamic behaviour, and using control theory to create a controller that will cause the systems to behave in a desired manner. The impact of control systems engineering is seen everywhere around us. Control systems are found in cars, house appliances, medical instrumentation, petrochemical refineries, commercial and military jets, robotic manufacturing systems, precision missile systems, etc. At the core of every control system are basic feedback principles. Control systems engineering is a sub-branch of engineering which addresses modelling, analysis, design, and implementation of feedback control systems. Perhaps the best way to introduce feedback control systems is to refer to the cruise control system found in most cars. The cruise control system accepts a desired speed command from the driver. The actual speed of the vehicle is measured. Th...
