Universities are the main bastions for engineers which provide them with the essential training and experience they require for their job. The difference lies in the way the engineering course is different from other courses like Arts and Social Sciences. The lectures for engineering students are more focused on real-life problems and how to solve them in a systematic way. Comparing this with lectures of other faculties, these lectures are less philosophical and are more problem-based. Also, the tutorials have more word problems rather than just solving direct sums and the labs serve as a platform for hands-on training and experience of problems based on real-life situations. The internships also gives the engineer an invaluable experience to his career.
Besides all these, another necessity for an engineer is his experience. Without this, he is merely a student. Experience provides the engineer with knowledge on how to tackle situations and how to think in a different way. This in turn makes an engineer think in a systematic way to solve the problem. It is not their skill which makes them premium, but their inventiveness and their way of approach and thinking.
The Burj Al Arab, Taipei tower and the Large Hedron Collider- nothing could have been designed, if it were not for the engineers. Their way of systemic analysis of complex information and their holistic approach to designing solutions, has made this possible. In this context, the training provided by the university, to the engineering students is indispensable and has created a cohort of engineers who can now build just anything from scratch.

I think your points are very relevant and well-written. However, I think your essay lacks example and development in the points stated. Also, your conclusion sounds like a repetition of your introduction. Lastly, I feel that the last sentence in the second paragraph does not really fit in the paragraph. You are putting two main ideas in one paragraph and leaving that point unexplained. Moreover, you mention about that point again in the next paragraph. However, it is nicely written.
I think that your post highlights the issues related to the expanding world of engineers' in an apt way. I completely agree with your idea that universities are the first playgrounds for engineers to develop their problem solving skills and to develop experience. However, i think one or two ideas in your post seem to be repetitive .
Quite a neatly done essay. The focus has been maintained on engineers consistently. Your introduction leaves the reader with no second thoughts whatsoever about the general backdrop of your topic.
It is good that you started off with a discussion on the education of an engineer, but you could have elaborated on certain aspects which you would consider to be critical for an engineer in his career or otherwise.
The examples provided do seem to convincingly drive home your point about the essential role of an engineer in today's world.
Some paraphrasing could have been done to avoid the seemingly obvious repetition of certain points. Otherwise, the essay is quite well written and daresay I am looking forward to more posts from you.
I think you mean "systematic", not "systemic", in your first paragraph. Systemic has a totally different meaning, so be careful not to confuse your reader.
