The Making of an Engineer

So, engineering is your preference as a career? Then there are some questions that you need to ask yourself before you go choosing the right branch of study and college.

Genetic Engineering

In simple terms, we can define genetic engineering as a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA (Deoxy ribo Nucleic Acid) of living organisms. This exciting branch of engineering or science allows the human minds to interfere in and modify the processes of life, birth death and even offers escape from some congenital diseases. There is huge potential in this field as the demand for genetic engineers is increasing both in India and abroad. Genetic engineers/scientists re-arrange the sequence of DNA in gene using various artificial...
