Extremely useful website for engineering students
http://academicearth.org is collection of free academic video courses from leading universities. These videos are taken from universities like MIT, Berkeley, Harvard and many more. It covers vast range of topics like Engineering, Biology, Entrepreneurship, Literature etc.
ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
Have you ever seen a banner of any bank where it is written “FULLY COMPUTERISED BRANCH”. Well one may understand the meaning of “Computerised “ but confusion occurs when it is read as Fully computerized.
What actually the word computerized is? It is definitely related to the use of computer in data processing and data transactions, but do you think that the Meaning of computerized as same as “Fully Computerised”:: Well, here chaos and confusion arise!
Dia - Open source diagram drawing software
All the engineering students and professionals need to draw diagrams of some kind. Dia is just a tool for it. You can draw verious kind of diagrams like entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams.
It is available for linux as well as windows. As it is open source, source code is also available for download.

Vim Editor
When we start thinking of text editor , Windows fans think of notepad
and linux fans Vi editor.
VI editor is much more powerful tool and there is no comparison of notepad and VI.
But VI is difficult to learn.
Somebody said rightly about VI ,
"Vi is like a Ferrari, if you're a beginner, it handles like
a bitch, but once you get the hang of it, it's small, powerful and FAST!"
What about VI with GUI ? that's gVIM !

Wget is right tool for that.
Lets take a look at features of wget :
Branch vs College
Many new aspirant of engineering studies come across this question.
While taking admission to engineering, we think of which branch of engineering should I select?
Which college should I prefer? etc.
Well, answer is quite simple, prefer the branch which you like. Don't select any branch only because it has better job opportunities. Job situation in industry doesn't remains the same all the time. This quite possible that selected course of engineering lost its charm when u complete the course.
