University is a total new world for freshmen. Those who are getting into college face new questions, problems and dilemmas. They are not kids anymore, but also not grown up adults, so making decisions isn’t easy. As sad in the text, college owns the duty of causing the students a desire to know what surrounds them and sometimes it is not well done. Universities must make student’s experience a mix of hard work, learning, but most important, leisure. If, at the end of a hard work, someone gets bonuses for it, upcoming works will be better done and, mainly, if one’s doing what causes it pleasure, everything coming from it will have a special taste.
But, unfortunately nowadays, from a freshman’s point of view, it might be seen that everything is becoming standardized, with a special attention to the exacts area, in which are included engineering. Job market is demanding a specific kind of employee and it is closing the desire for imagination in those who’re getting into college. It’s a common opinion that students should have space to practice their imagination, like a old engineer who has a workspace at the background of his house where he can test his devices, disassemble engines and, most important, work his imagination to find solutions for daily problems.
University, as a stage of life, must be a period when one collects tools in order to use them towards life, but it also should cause students a certain kind of discomfort about the world, presenting them problems humankind faces and that they have enough potential in order to reach solutions for those. So, for a freshman, in a first point of view, college must look like a place where one can find micro solutions, so these will becoming macro as it will learning more each day. Teachers must not try to show consequences first than causes, they must teach step by step and be prepared to show college students that they are ordinary day to day engineers, doctors and lawyers, so they are already able to provide benefits to society and themselves. Then, University is a huge machine that will supply one tools for improvement and qualification, forming a citizen that will be able to make a better world not only to mankind, but to man.
