“The more you learn the more you grow”.
Practical knowledge is obtained from doing things; it is very much based on real-life activities and tasks. It is very important to gain onsite practical knowledge, without it, one cannot be successful in life. Every person must acquire as much knowledge as possible in their respective field. The knowledge plays an important role in shaping your personality and behavior and improves your perspective with every aspects of life.
“Knowledge is an asset which is more important than money.”
Theoretical knowledge is as important as practical knowledge but without having any basic theoretical understanding, this can prove to be dangerous. It helps in understanding and having a deeper knowledge about various concepts. Before implementing anything, we need to have sufficient technical concepts cleared, as it is the foundation for doing something practical.
Practical knowledge is very important to know how things actually work. It is a skill, which is developed through live onsite experiences. Theoretical knowledge is of no value unless we apply it in realistic situations. Theoretical knowledge is important in the construction industry but every site is different and the way in which it is obtained is also different depending on different factors. Therefore, your experience, which you get with years of being an expertise in that particular field, plays a significant role. Students get platform for application of the knowledge, which has been gained, and to improve their know-how skills. They get an exposure to the real world of how things actually work and get to know how much damage a minor mistake can cause.
For Example: Studying the subject Survey cannot just work through theories or problem solving using various formulas, but in order to understand its main concept and how it is actually performed, it is necessary to have a practical knowledge of the same, only then the basics and the main concepts would be understood as the Practical work would familiarize students with tools and equipment that will be required to use.

4 年Yes it's very true. I have learned from my 16 years of work experience , As we are junior's we need 90% technical and 10% soft skills As we travel towards seniority we need 10% technical skills and 90% soft skills. And for this Our Practical approach towards gained theoretical knowledge must be Robust.. Our degrees are just a receipt of what we hv learned, the true acknowledgement is when we will use it with practical behaviour ...
