Introduction

04

By Nalin Goonewardene

"E

ngineering" is a term from Latin which combines the meanings of "cleverness" and "to contrive or devise".

About 2.6 million years ago humans developed basic stone tools to defend themselves and find food.

These stone tools were enhanced with new materials such as bone and antler and standards were developed to make them more predictable. Engineering has evolved with time and has become a respected profession, practically delivering scientifically informed solutions to meet great challenges in a rapidly evolving world. As with medicine, engineering expertise relies on practice through exposure to real-world situations and finding methods and techniques to address them. In the 20th century engineering changed the world, which we take for granted today.

computational capabilities will create amazing possibilities.

Globalisation Globalisation will enable more engineers to be available regardless of location leading to more competition for the best opportunities.

The 'switched-on' countries will fund necessary research and development projects to lead activities in their field.

Leading companies will try to make new discoveries, innovate continually, and support the natural global flows in industry.

An order generated in one country can be manufactured in another with accounting in a third and delivery to a fourth depending on benefits sought by a business.

Population growth With population growth, climate change, and dwindling resources, engineers will face big challenges

converge on city centres.By regulation, all buildings will have to be 'green' and new technologies such as walls of thick, insulated concrete to protect interiors from temperature fluctuations will be developed.

Engineers will find effective solutions to reduce and dispose of waste, reduce emissions from engines, develop harvesting techniques and water treatments to ensure clean water for sustaining life on earth.

New Technology Engineers will leverage and build on advanced developments in science and technology. Some of these are Nanotechnology (manipulating matter on an atomic scale for materials, devices and structures), 3D Printing (creating designs on a desktop that can be made into physical objects from almost any material), Biotechnology, Internet of Things

Engineering Industry However, in the 19th century, these were not even visualised, such as Electrification, Electronics, Radio and Television, Computers, Telephone, Agricultural Mechanisation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration.

Engineering developed methods, techniques and tools, training and education not existing before to address these needs which we now consider as 'traditional' engineering. Today engineering plays a major role in everything we do - from art to medicine, from technology to psychology, from education to sports.

The 21st century is predicted to change the world like never before and be the most exciting period in human history for science and engineering.

Exponential advances in knowledge, instrumentation, communication, and

of developing creative solutions to shortages in food and water. One solution could be in Hydroponics which is a water efficient method of growing.

Medical knowledge is predicted to advance at record speeds. Robotic surgery and telepresence surgery are expected to grow in skill and variety.

Environment Developing sustainable energy sources is one of the biggest challenges that scientists and engineers will face in the future. They will design new materials to capture energy, develop new storage capabilities, create more energy-efficient appliances, and build machines that work on alternate energy sources. The global construction industry in emerging markets is expected to double within the next 10 years constructing 'megacities' as populations

(the interconnection of uniquely identifiable physical objects embedded with electronics, software, sensors and actuators giving us the 'connected' world) and Cloud Computing (sharing of computing resources over the internet on a pay by use basis).

Further collaboration and convergence with new technologies based in Cognitive Science together with Artificial Intelligence will lead to development of robots with human-like looks and responses.

Conclusions The net result is that engineering is 'on the move' out of its traditional roots, to embrace evolving technologies, learning to be multi-skilled and working with people of other disciplines to practically make the new technologies happen.

The Private and Public Sector

Sitting on a “Gold-Mine”

By Sharlene De Chickera and Dr. Nandaka Molagoda

T

he University of Moratuwa spans 53 acres of lush greenery and Red brick buildings that churn out thousands of graduates each academic year, armed with quality education, knowledge and creativity, skilled to innovate and develop new products.

The EDEX Magazine Team met the Dean of Engineering, Prof. Anurudhha Puswewela, who shared with our youth readership, the facts and facets of Engineering.

The University of Moratuwa has an annual intake of 900 students to the Faculty of Engineering. The greatest demand is for the Electronic and Telecommunication, secondly Computer Science and thirdly the Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering Departments.

Students are absorbed into ten fields of study, namely, Civil, Chemical and Process, Computer Science, Earth Resources, Electrical, Electronic, Materials Science, Mechanical, Textile Clothing Technology and Bio-Medical.

A meagre 1-2% drop-out.

“We do not necessarily have to market our programmes. The University Grants Commission cut off marks, and the Z-score are the deciding factors for selection. Those that gain entrance to the University system are considered the intelligentsia, and may gain entrance to the University of Moratuwa, Ruhuna and Peradeniya, respectively”, informs Dr. Puswewela. The students compete to gain knowledge in these diverse disciplines. Two classifications,

Earth Resources and Textiles, enroll students from direct application. The other disciplines are all assigned to the students after a competitive first semester examination.

Generally, the quality of students that gain entrance and then whose talent and skills are enhanced become sought after graduates, who will permeate the different industries related to Engineering, he adds.

“Mechatronics is a new and emerging field and encompasses different disciplines such as mechanical and electronic. There is a lot of new scope to innovate and find useful devices and mechanisms to assist society”, he notes. Like-wise, Biometrics is also an emerging discipline which has a connectivity to Engineering as the equipment and apparatus are designed

by Engineers for use in Med-Science, such as scanners, prosthetics, and medicines.

This is a potential area for youth to excel and use their talents and ingenuity to work on a global platform and compete.

Impetus to Innovate The Moratuwa University is equipped with a state-of-the-art Robotic laboratory for which the successive governments have pumped in approximately 180 million Rupees. The use of this laboratory, though still in its infancy, is a necessary playground for students to be innovative, creative and design devices that are useful to human kind.

Though our facility may not be on par with that of Silicon Valley, the potential that our students have, can generate some useful innovations. We

Prof. Anurudhha Puswewela also have commercial companies that have set up mini-laboratories at the University. Renowned market leaders in the ilk of Dialog and DSI have taken the initiative to set up labs, but the designs are done based on their brand briefs, he observes. There is scope to be original, he muses.

Public and Private Sector He also says that the government should take a bigger interest in investing in the talent pool of the youth, especially in a context such as the undergraduates of the Moratuwa University, who can contribute to the development and economic growth of the country, with the aim to leverage it to a first world country.

“The graduates are much in demand within the disciplines of Engineering per se, but owing to their analytical skills and ability to process quickly, can be much in demand for sectors such as Banking”, he notes. As such, the onus seems to be on the government and commercial sectors to both collectively focus on the wealth of youth in the University system and ensure that the leaders of tomorrow are given the best impetus to perform on a global platform.

KDU ‘Gives Wings’ to

Aspiring Young Engineers K

otalawela Defence University (KDU) embraces modernity with time-tested training methods. The EDEX Magazine Team drove up to the University to gain insights helpful to the youth of Sri Lanka. Speaking to the Dean of KDU, Dr. Thushara Weerawardena, we learn that more than 800 students are enrolled in total.

“There are nine degree programmes”, he informs. These are Aeronautical, Aircraft Maintenance, Electronic and Telecommunications, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Marine, Bio-Medical and Mechatronics. Stepping in to a hangar full of aircraft engines, jets, propellers and artillery, we were awed by the array of flying machines and engines in its aircraft training division.

Man and Machinery We met Warrant Officer, D.K. Gunasinghe, who explained to us, the ‘nitty-gritty’ entailed, as he would, to the young undergraduates who have been selected for Aircraft Engineering.

After viewing an old Bell-Helicopter cockpit, and the array of jet engines, we are ushered to the training area that houses a sophisticated simulator, which has been purchased recently from the Unites States of America. We are enlightened about the manner in which aero dynamics has an impact on aircraft,

by Warrant Officer, Gunasinghe. “The flight simulator artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the exact environment which the plane flies in, is used for pilot training, and replicates the equations that govern how aircraft fly”, he enlightens.

Simulators also are used to react to applications of flight controls and how it affects the aircraft systems, he adds.

External factors such as air density, turbulence, cloud density are also monitored by this machine.

Traversing the seas Crossing over to the Marine Engineering section, we met Lieutenant Indunil Fernando, who trains the aspirants in terms of Marine Engineering. Showcased in order are zinc plates that are barnacled on ships, and the eroded versions. A real warship’s propeller stands positioned in the middle of the room, from which students learn the ‘nitty-gritty’ of the way the ship maneuvers itself in the water.

Unlike other department of the KDU, the Marine Engineering division’s student enrolment is all male. In 2015, around 15-25 students will be assigned to this department. The department is accredited ISO 9001 compliant, passing out graduates who have the best academic knowledge and technical skills.

Competitive Selection Selection to KDU is from the Advanced Level examination. A good Z-Score of 1.2 to 2.0 is the benchmark.

Students are categorized in to civilian and, cadet cadre from the Army, Navy and Air-Force.

“Strict discipline is applicable. Eighty percent attendance and submission of assignments on-time is applicable”, stated Dr. Weerawardena.

We also formulate the curriculum and are aligned to that of the University of Moratuwa.We endeavor to keep abreast with the latest technologies to ensure that students learn in a modern environment.

Exacting Research A state-of the art research facility that was opened in 2014, is equipped to cater to all study and research purposes of students. We walked in to the new facility and were impressed by its ambience and research facilities.

“Usually this centre is a hive of activity. Students like to come here and make avail of the facilities”, offers Dr.

Weerawardena. More state-of-the-art facilities are envisioned in the future.

One such facility is the new Engineering division, which is nearing completion.

This Five storied building is unique, imposing and will cater to the students who will hopefully reach the pinnacle of achievement.

Another facility in the offing is the Werahera hospital, located in the precincts of KDU. To be declared opened in 2016, it will be the largest hospital in South Asia. “The students who graduate in the Bio-Medical field will train in this hospital and work here”, noted Dr. Weerawardena.

On Par with the Best Students who are undergraduates at KDU have to maintain an excellent standard in education, possess a positive attitude and aspire to become worthy citizens one day. The sky, sea and the earth hold no boundaries for youth who can grab these opportunities and then in turn serve mother Lanka with pride!

The Computer Genius in

‘YOUTH’

By Sharlene De Chickera

“A

son of a CTB Conductor works in a top position at Microsoft USA”, informs Dr. Dilum Bandara, Senior Lecturer of the University of Moratuwa. This achievement can become a reality for one of you youngsters reading this magazine,who loves computers, both the inside and out of it, and has a dream larger than can fill your heart!

Realising the potential of students in Sri Lanka to reach the pinnacle in the IT Industry, Bandara decided to return to his homeland, to share his expertise in encouraging smart young Sri Lankans to put a mark on the world map.The Sri Lankan students are inherently smart and have the potential to be the best workers in the industry, he says with pride.

Adding to the sentiment, Dr. Chathura De Silva, the Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering affirms, “Many of the graduates of the University of Moratuwa, are snapped up even before they graduate”.

Benchmarks of Excellence The Moratuwa University is stringent and recruits 125 students, island wide, after the first Semester exam in to the Department of Computer Science. This selection is based purely on merit. Of the 125 students, 100 are absorbed in to the conventional stream and 25 in

is Just a Click Away

to a new integrated Computer stream.

103 modules, 21 permanent staff and 21 industry professionals ensure that the smart minds are further sharpened to be released in to the industry as men and women to reckon with – change makers of the IT industry, who will work in a smart manner to produce new innovations, set new bench-marks and facilitate the industry to thrive.

The students themselves stand to earn a minimum starting salary of Rs. 90,000/- to Rs. 140,000/- with open-ended opportunities to grow for ingenuity and enterprise.

Case in point are this year’s graduates, who really graduated in April 2015, but 100% of them were recruited to top-companies in Sri Lanka, by January 2015, vouching for their appeal and great demand.

“Our ethos in educating these students is to think smart, work smart and have a passion to be smart”, opines De Silva. This attitude coupled with many challenging outings, where teamwork and individual skills come in to play, create all-rounders who are able to think and act smart in a work context as well as a societal one”, notes De Silva, enthusiastically.

In fact, one of the graduates has been selected to MIT, as she earned excellent results and had very good communication skills, whilst being proactive in processing her own application to earn her a place in this

prestigious University in the USA. We have more students of her caliber, who have outgoing personalities and are consistent achievers, notes Bandara.

Quantum Leap As Sri Lanka strives to become a first world country, we need to leap frog to achieve success. Sri Lankans have what it takes to be both creative and have an analytical mind, so what we need is to “leap-frog”, states Dr. Chandana Gamage, the former Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

Sri Lankans have developed the best stock market software (Millennium IT), on-line software (WSO2) and the travel industry software (CodeGen) The sky is the limit now to gear Programmers to take the Industry to a new level.

Outreach to Rural Milieu The undergraduates of the University are also encouraged to go back to their respective schools and teach the young students Computer Science. “Our students hail from different villages in Sri Lanka.

They have an inherent passion to share their knowledge and we have conducted many workshops all over the island, in Jaffna, Bibile, and many other locations, informs Bandara.

These villages and towns are the ‘hot-spots’ that may very well bring out the future Computergenius. Could it be you?

The digital future has already begun

By Sachille Atapattu

A

t the peak of the digital information age, electrical, electronic, telecommunication, and computer science engineering is advancing at an incredible pace. A mere 365 days is sufficient to render today's technology obsolete. Better still is the fact that Sri Lankan engineers are involved with these developments of technologies from the front.

So if you are a youth with a passion to be part of the futuristic inventions or innoventions, why not become part of electrical, electronic, telecommunication and computer engineering?

Electrical engineering is a conventional discipline of technology, with a proud family line starting from Michael Farady, the father of the discipline.

The more recent variants, electronics, telecommunications and computing have witnessed dramatic changes in the past 50 years and have contributed immensely to the modernity of society.

Clean Energy and Smart Grids The future of Electrical engineering is quite exciting. With the depletion of fossil fuel and other scarce resources, electricity generation is moving towards renewable resources.

A new world of energy is on the rise with harnessing techniques such as wind, solar, geo-thermal and tidal energy becoming common place. For instance, Japanese researchers have undertaken a mammoth solar farm in

orbit, uninterrupted by earth's rotation and atmospheric disturbances. Satellite solar collector can reflect steady solar microwave beams to solar power station on earth.

With the shifting energy sources, electricity transmission is undergoing a period of transition where distribution networks are being replaced by smart grids.

Smart grids are operated and monitored by information technology thereby allowing less power outages and more efficiency and reliability.

These will also integrate variable flow of renewable energy from multiple sources and manage the overall grid.

Smarter Machines Electronic controls are present everywhere from a mere thermometer to a jetliner.

Embedded electronics have stripped mechanical controls away and made control more efficient and effective.

More powerful computing and reliable systems, have paved way for machines to be truly intelligent. Today smart devices are flooding the world, where a light bulb can turn itself off when it is not in need to self-driven cars in busy and congested roads. Major automakers already have partially autonomous commercial vehicles and driving might be obsolete for humans before the decade is out. Increasing population of smart devices in turn leads to a smarter environment.

Internet of Things (IoT) IoT is a phenomena that's taking the world by force. Unlike in the

past,where Internet connected devices are limited to human usage only, smart devices are now being connected to the Internet, And humans can access, control, configure these devices via the Internet. The ultimate objective of this is to make every device connected, hence more access to information, which leads to endless possibilities. With a simple touch on our smart phones we can switch on a light bulb, turn on a garden sprinkler or even power up a car whereever in the world.

5G Telecommunications has also been an enabling technology for the digital age, and it has more to offer. One such offering is 5G, the next generation mobile networks which will be faster, cheaper and enable other services such as provisions for devices with IoT. Another major change will come with Software Defined Networks, which will reduce the complexity of conventional networks and provide cheaper, simpler and more capable networks.

The broadcasting industry is rapidly adapting to new communications trend which is not voice, nor data but video.

Popularity of video content has lead communication service providers to implement quick, quality and cheap methods of video communication.

Today we live in the digital information age, which was created, and is fueled and nurtured by electrical, electronic, telecommunication and computer science engineering. Are you the one to power the next big step?

Education

By Nalin Goonewardene

ngineers are always in demand, they can command a good salary and a rewarding career. If you are after decent employment, engineering is a good discipline to pursue.

As technology progresses, new types of engineering skills are required in areas such as Microelectronics, Robotics, Biomedicine, Genetics, Environment, Material Science and Nanotechnology. All of these require a basic knowledge of Mathematics, Science and Computer Technology.

Start by looking at what an engineer must know and do in order to be effective and successful. Theoretical technical knowledge must be enhanced by practical experience to understand the methods and techniques that actually work in real-world situations.

To progress in an engineering career, it is good to develop a helicopter view, ground view and detailed view to accommodate the competing demands of a project - managing risks, controlling costs and keeping to time. You will also need training and practice in soft skills including making presentations, writing reports and general conversations.

You must be able to explain clearly topics you know but others don’t.

The information you give will depend on the audience, their level of understanding and what they want to know.

Magazine English language skills is a necessity. As a professional you must keep up to date, to maintain your market value. Become an active member of the relevant association for your type of skill which will enable you to keep in touch with the latest developments.

It will also show you routes for increasing your skills and acquiring new skills in time. For the newest technologies you need to be a member of an international association and follow relevant topics on the internet.

This is important because changes are taking place, where the subject matter is converging so additional training and education will be needed to stay current.

Consider that the world may be very different when you pass out from what it is today.

As you progress you have a choice of becoming a manager or staying technical. As a Manager, you will need to learn how to manage relationships with people - employees, superiors, team members, and skills in office management including finance to understand and act on what you

discover. These skills may be acquired through courses such as an MBA but will require some practical experience.

As a Researcher, you will probably work in a lab environment, though some projects now require site visits for real world experience.You may need some specific skills training if you are to interview people or present your work.

As a Consultant you will require a high degree of self-confidence, technical capability, practical experience and general competence.You will need to learn how to listen and interact with people - customers and sales situations, as well as prepare quotations. Your profile must be up to date and appealing.

A consultant’s success depends on his reputation. While it is possible for a consultant to become a manager, it is less likely that the other two can become consultants.

Beware, the march of technology has already created situations where there are jobs but not enough qualified people and there are qualified people for whom there are no jobs. This mismatch is about to explode as new technology accelerates over the next few years.

Remember, you can succeed at anything, IF you have the passion for it.

People generally think that success means having lots of money, not thinking of what you have to do for it. Success can instead mean what gives you most satisfaction or what challenges you most. Money will follow if your skills are valued. Once you discover your strengths, it will be easy to answer the question, “Do I want to be an average engineer or a brilliant person following my passion?

NDB Educator Loan is a unique loan facility that enables students to pursue their dream education and career aspirations without having to worry about finances. Its unique feature is that the loan is disbursed in stages and the grace period is extended during the entire tenure of the degree/ course; so that the students or their parents would have to pay a lower instalment during the period of study and start repaying the entire loan instalment only at the end of study programme.

The loan will be granted to fund the higher education needs of an employed individual. For unemployed students the facility will be granted based the parent’s income while the child may be considered a co-applicant with a shared responsibility for repayment. The loan amounts may even exceed Rs.4mn as per the requirement and the applicant’s repayment capacity. Setting itself apart from the conventional education loans in the market, NDB Educator offers the flexibility of repaying over a period of eight years out of which; the entire course tenure will be

considered as a grace period where the applicants would only be required to repay the interest portion. Up to 75% of the course fee will be financed through the loan which will be disbursed in stages as specified by the institute or the university. The full repayment of the facility will commence upon course completion – where the student may even take over the responsibility for repayment once he/ she gains employment.

The Cosmos is Out There, or is it in You?

Youth to be Part of a Collective Consciousness

By Sharlene De Chickera and Dr. Nandaka Molagoda

H

aving been a star-gazer as a child, Prof. Chandra Wickremasinghe still does this as a hobby. However, he has taken a quantum leap, and many years later he is a world recognised Astrobiologist, Astronomer and remain the brilliant Mathematician he was at his alma mater, Royal College.

The EDEX Magazine Team engaged him in a discussion that spanned the space of time, from his origins of a book-filled home, to a love for Mathematics, and a quest to gain double qualification in Mathematics and English and having failed to convince his administration in school; delving in to Mathematics.

“I had an innate curiosity to explore the vast cosmos, as a child, and loved to gaze at the stars. I always wondered what was out there in the Milky Way galaxy. I later realised that dark patches of cloudy material that were figured in the skies, like Elephants were dust clouds”, he says, simply. The dust clouds would continue to intrigue the little boy, the teen and the man, so much so that he qualified in an area that led him to research the fascinating particles, propound theories and create a stir in the Scientific circles world-wide.

“I had a desire to find out the answers to what was in the particles, and the origins and the expansion of life”, he states. This led to a statement that interstellar dust was composed of organic material. His professional work life has spanned continents, and he has dabbled with a plethora of research and tried to sway peoples’ thinking in to a collective consciousness that life has evolved from the universe.

Envisioning space travel Prof. Wickremasinghe feels that the next frontier would be the colonisation of space and the 140 billion similar planets that could possibly hold life.

“When I was a youth it took six months to reach Down-Under (Australia). Now it takes the same time to traverse to Mars. I feel that within the 100 years or so, space travel will be on the cards for the youth.

This is investable”, he says.

Youth and the quest ‘to know’ Prof. Wickremasinghe feels that the thirst to know will drive the youth forward.

He senses with disappointment the inertia of youth to learn and also read voraciously.

“As a child I would want to passionately get to know the latest about the world and the universe at large. I used to read anything and everything in the newspapers that was of interest to me in science, space travel or even Shakespeare”, he says with an ironic smile.

He does not feel that the youth of today have an innate sense of curiosity as he feels that they are “spoon fed”.

However, he feels that with the advent of technology, the youth can combine the advancement in technology with that of an ‘electronic’ consciousness that can connect humanity and drive them to seek other planets for sustenance.

Sustainability is not happening In terms of sustainability Prof.

Wickremasinghe feels man has since time immemorial wanted to ‘grab’ as much resources for themselves irrespective of the dire consequences. He feels that this drive to want more and more from less and less of Earth’s resources, will be catalyst in mankind having no other option but to seek resources beyond our planet. As such, he feels that within a life-time colonisation will be the key, and this will be imminent with the advancement of Technology.

Holding on to a Dream He feels that dreaming of the stars, doing something that engaged that curiosity and obstinately sticking to what you believe in is the core to success.

Having commended the initiative of the EDEX Magazine, the professor hopes that the right education, attitude and forging ahead with one’s dream will make the youth in concern a ‘star’ in his or her own right.

Stand Out as a Leader in the

Global Market Place

By Sharlene De Chickera and Dr. Nandaka Molagoda

“E

ighty percent of youth working in the market are from rural areas in Sri Lanka”, states Mano Sekaram, CEO and Co-Founder of 99X Technology, a Global IT company, which is rated as one of the best 25 SMEs to work for in Asia. Sekaram does not wish to differentiate BPO and KPO but views them both as existing on a seamless platform of knowledge services.

“Both in essence are ‘selling knowledge’ to the world. For example, Sri Lankans can work as Auditors in the Middle East, Teachers in Nigeria and Accounts in England. Technology is the connector and outsourcing is in effect delivering of knowledge via technology”, he informs.

Foundation for success Sekaram feels that the Sri Lankan education system, culture and the entire eco-system is positioned to cater to the demand of ‘selling’ knowledge. He opines that the youth have transformed their thinking to envision the global market as one single market and compete.

“The youth in Sri Lanka have to train themselves to think as a collective workforce, yet emerge as leaders in their respective spheres. If youth are to compete in this global market place,

Mano Sekaram

and earn an average of three to eight thousand dollars per month, to elevate Sri Lanka in to a desired middle-income bracket, then whilst being a leader they have to have a cutting edge”, he affirms.

Key requisites needed to have a competitive edge are innovation, research and thinking like entrepreneurs.

“Even if you are working in the IT Industry, and professional, the ideal is for these professionals is to become entrepreneurs and job creators as well.

This message should be driven in to the youth, whereby they have a strong desire to become entrepreneurs”, he enthuses.

What we need is entrepreneurial minds to run companies whilst being professionals, he adds.

Leadership To mould a leader in this competitive global market, education is a requisite.

Discipline, soft-skills and the penchant to take up challenges, to think differently and create are qualities that help a youth be a leader and also become noticed.

We also feel that there is a further need to train and empower leaders from schools, to stand out as distinct individuals in society, and take on the mantle of leadership in society and in their respective careers.

Collective brilliance Knowledge is the key. At the same time, youth have to be armed with

an attitude that challenges the norm sometimes to forge ahead and to work smarter whilst being competitive in a team context.

Conformity should not be the norm in this competing era. Only the best can hope to survive! So whilst being a teamplayer, youth have to discern how to stand out and be noticed. Youth have to remember the generation they work in is one that is fiercely competitive and pays more for knowledge.

Traits In the field of IT, we do not need youth with Shakespearean English. We need people who can communicate their ideas well. Conceptualising in Sinhala or Tamil is fine and found to be more effective.

We find that a lot of youth adapt themselves to the given task with the right training and guidance. What we want to instil in them is a sense of them being leaders in their own right.

“The message I like to share in your magazine is to challenge, innovate and create youth with values, skills, who are trustworthy, credible and who will lead by example.

We want the future to be steered by youth who have the right skills and attitudes to survive in a global market place. We want the industry to be seen in a holistic perspective but as one market place”, says Sekaram.

The Wheels of Time Lead to Best Career-Paths

By Dr. Nandaka Molagoda and Sharlene De Chickera

S

ituated majestically in the heart of well tendered lawns, cool blue pools and fountains is the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH), completed in 1973, in time for the 5th Non-Aligned Movement Summit in 1976. Since then, the BMICH has been host venue to a myriad of occasions from state-toprofessional to societal. Many kings and queens, state ministers, dignitaries and VIPs have walked down the Red carpet of the BMICH. Speaking to the Director General of BMICH Mr. Sunil Dissanayake, who hails from Baddegama, we are surrounded with pictures of the founders, memorabilia, a mammoty and a photograph of Dissanayake taken in 1974, when he was a manager of the catering services at the BMICH. Since then, having worked for eleven organisations, five out of which he was head-hunted for, Dissanayake is geared to transforming the BMICH from more than a convention and business centre.

“We have plans for the children to have parties at the front lawn with Ponyrides; dinners for two to 500 per sitting and would like to think of career clinics on Saturdays”, he enthuses.

Dynamic Careers He says, careers are dynamic and

ever changing. The only constant is change. “Formally, traditional career paths of Medicine, Law and Engineering held sway. Today, students have many options before them. They have the freedom to change careers.

What matters is that they enjoys doing what they love to do.

The Golden Question He says,students must ask themselves early in their school career “What do I like to do? What am I good at?” He notes that students should have an open-mind about different career paths. “Adaptability”, is the key to embrace change, he notes.

Through his observation, he opines it is seemingly difficult for students who have grown up in a city context to adapt in a rural milieu. Contrary, he has observed youth from his own village of Baddegama taking up a job and abode in the suburbs, and survive.

Identifying Careers at O/L Dissanayake believes the starting point in a youth getting interested in a future career path is at O/Ls. He says that if the student in contention has a good idea about what he likes to do, at that point, he can follow his dream. “Advice from a senior role model is always good”, he adds, citing an example from his youth where he wished to be a Planter. “My father took me to meet an uncle who was a senior planter. He dissuaded me from

joining the plantation sector. Thereafter, I started with the hospitality industry, HR and finally ended up as a successful Manager. "This is my 41st year in employment, and I am thankful to say that I have never been out of work a single day" Humility and a Flexible Strategy is Key to Success To be a successful manager, one must learn the art of humility. This quality is one which stands above the rest.

Humility coupled with an innate consideration for people, whilst listening to their issues, always wins the day, he adds confidently. Apart from soft skills, Dissanayake thinks a manager should have a flexible strategy of mastering Finance, IT, Human Resources and Marketing skills to be well-rounded and to be successful.

The Power of Mentoring Having had a wealth of experience and expertise, locally and overseas, Dissanayake is one of the first to introduce mentoring to Sri Lanka.

Mentoring, senior Managers, selected staff or even trainees, is a good strategy as the person in contention emulates the senior with success. Thus, benchmarks can be easily achieved.

The bottom-line is that with the right attitude, skills, and training, youth can fit in to a world of myriad possibilities.
