According to Dr.Wasif our faculty teacher, there are number of problems which a industry faces day in and day out which require knowledge rather than only experience to quantitatively solve the problems. Here comes the part of consulting engineer. Industries therefore approach consulting engineers where they give priority to private consulting engineers or fresh engineers instead of going to consulting agencies because of their less expenditure for solutions, since fees of fresh engineers or private consulting engineers are much lesser than a consultant agency. Therefore this job has large vacant space for fresh engineers having broad vision and eager to utilize their knowledge and skills.

It is the knowledge due to which 50+ managers of different corporations takes masters class just to put few more drops of knowledge into their lives.
