Work in the right direction

Engineering and assignments always seem go together.
Ask any engineer and he or she will recall the late nights or the early mornings that he or she must have spent completing them. Just the enormous workload and the ever approaching deadlines make you learn to live with lesser sleep. The assignments themselves are donkey work. They are totally useless. Everyone copies them and manipulates them. It just goes to show how we fail to move ahead with times. I personally would love to work in environments where my brain does the working and not just my hands. The only positive thing you can say about them is that they teach you to work hard and help you to learn manage time. But since they are so dumb, they have only encouraged me of ways of cheating them and finding as many shortcuts as possible. Also the fact that if I had put my energies and such amounts of time into something more creative and useful and thoughtful, I can guarantee you that I would have been a much better person.
So assignments are very frustrating(read pulling hair, banging heads and shouting WHY WHY frustrating). But they just have to be done. The university has alloted marks for the assignments and not submitting them might mean failing in one of the subjects. And that would mean taking the issue too far. But I hope that in the future we are given better things to do.
I have always believed that Engineers are people who, when they graduate should be able to build something. Either on their on or as a part of a group that compiles the efforts of different people to make something wonderful and constructive. We build this world. Machines(mechanical) cars(automobile) skyscrapers(civil) mobiles, robots(electronics)
and of course softwares. So if we are to have assignments, give us some that would help us build these things in the future. An assignment that gives us real satisfaction.
That would certainly help, well the nation really.

At this rate all I am doing is increasing my writing speed.
