Bangalore. There I came about this term, blue sky technology;
essentially what it meant there was that GE not only works on the
present engines technologies but at the Bangalore center, it is also
exploring the blue sky tecnologies that are still to come in
production level.
The motivation for them is to find and explore out some material and
technology that will help then build better, efficeint, more reliable,
and cost effective engines.
What stuck with me, from all this discussion was the term blue sky.
Just as I explained in my last post regarding exploring and giving
your curiosity a drive everyday at office. This is exactly what
exploring blue sky tech means.
Yes we work on individual softwares. Some on catia, some on
solidowrks, some on ansys, and some on nastran. That's your job as an
analyst. But the job mostly requires few feature set of that tool and
if you are working on it for long then you might be pretty confident
in all those features, and those features will be a small set of the
sky load of features the software has to offer. So spread your wings
and get out and explore the blue sky.
Delve and find out new features. Learn how to use the innumerable
unusef features. How they work, why they are there and how can they be
used with the task you are doing?
Carry this exploration and I am sure you will come out and will cover
a lot of ground and gain lot of knowledge in that tool.
If GE can do it, so can you and me. So what are we waiting for, let's
spread our wings and explore the vast blue sky!!!
