Our Carmo seems to be blazing a lot of trails in the ivory towers of
Florida's world. In fact he seems to have come a long way from his
previous forays into patenting the Goan kashhti, standing on his
beach-side condominium apartment wearing nothing but the said loose
loincloth flapping in the Caribbean breezes that sometimes results in
loins being stirred.

However as in the nature of a true trail-blazer, our Carmo has now
turned to other more esoteric pursuits. We happily note his Department
in Florida Tech now offers graduate studies in engineering management
and systems engineering. The next programs to be offered naturally
being management engineering and engineering systems.

Now many of you out there must be asking "what is the difference
between engineering systems and systems engineering and on the other
hand engineering management and management engineering?" Rather than
give you an indirect wavering answer, it is in the personality of our
Carmo to be forthright and tell you that you have to stop being
'Botlers and Shippies' and make attempts to enter IITs. All will then
be clear to you.

Now being the multi-tasker that he is (don't forget his manual on
cheating at exams is still the recommended text for enterprising
students) he also conducts Warren Buffet classes that increase your
net worth substantially enough to be invited to the Oracle of Omaha's
annual shareholder meetings where you will be served a large size corn
bun and lukewarm coffee. The rich don't splurge.

In fact at one such meeting in the future our Carmo intends to present
his Wall Street-beating technical analysis software that has found a
solid correlation between cashew tree yields on Salcete hillsides and
momentum movements of emerging market ADRs on the New York Stock
Exchange. Guaranteed to make every purchaser a millionaire many times
over.

And to those of you who like Cecil measure the relevance of
non-resident Goans by what they do for Goa, our Carmo is again not one
to be left behind. He has spent enormous time and effort (and that
means money) pushing gifted politicians like Manohar Parrikar whose
claim to Bharat Ratna greatness is to completely revamp the IIT campus
canteen in Powai. It may be another matter that Manohar is a man
before his time and that all the shippy and botler voters in Goa
couldn't see well enough to vote his party into power. Carmo will see
to that. After all he has recently announced that he will be visiting
Goa soon and those wishing to obtain darshan at his durbar will get to
see the great man man in person. Eat your heart out Sai Baba.

The Department of Engineering Systems at Florida Institute of
Technology (Florida Tech) offers popular graduate degrees in
Engineering Management and Systems Engineering. The Department is
headed by Dr. Muzaffar Shaikh, who is  a graduate of Bombay
University. Among others, its distinguished faculty also includes
Dr. Carmo D'Cruz, Professor of Engineering Entrepreneurship, who is
a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

These are very exciting times for the Department of Engineering
Systems with new courses and curricula that address a practicing
engineer's concerns.
