My Co-instructorship back when in hyderabad this summer

I have seen many people especially because I am in the field of would be " so- called probable educators of Engineering students" ( I hate the word lecturer, makes you seem like an old guy) most of them have made this choice for various reasons. Mostly not with teaching in mind.
Because of this any of the professional works that we do my friends seem to relate it to teaching. I justify it saying that it gives me an opportunity to observe an organization from an instructor's perspective.
I was a Professional assistant the previous semester and so naturally when I applied for co-instructorship in summer break I got it. i was supposed to report to my In-charge Prof BN Murthy from BITS Hyderabad campus on May 24th. I got to Jeedimetla from my aunt's place where I was staying. I found the company where I was supposed to work after roaming in the may sun at 11 for close to an hour. Then came the students.

I got 10 students. 4 of them were from Hyderabad campus, 4 from Goa campus and 2 from Pilani campus. I was pretty uncomfortable at the start having never had handled anythin like this because my Professional assiatant experience the previous sem was in classroom environment but this was in industrial environment.

But then the company people started of the classes and the first one month just went in a blur. The company people were supposed to teach them and show them how things actually move in a company.(I got co-instructorship in a gear manufacturing firm). i was expected to teach them the technical stuff so my work involved finding and planning in advance.
Finally came the turn of projects.These were discussed before hand with my students.. By that time there was no more weirdness in the relationship and they had come to accept me as one among their own. Well after all I am just 2 years their senior. Eventually we had 3 great projects.

One project documented an entire lifecycle of a gearbox right from the stage material is supplied in form of billets and blanks. Second project involved the documentation and revamping their MIS. Third project involved developing a far more better website for them than the one they currently used.
Once the projects were done and reports were submitted it was the time to say adieu. I had grown close to my students because we were together for 5-6 hours a day 6 days a week for two months.That was also my first experience in a reasonable position of authority. We decided to celebrate for the sake of future and we went to Hotel Swagath in Kukatpally. Post lunch we wished each other luck. Because no one know when you will probably meet them next.

I will remember forever this experience.
