Abstract
ICT-based learning is a key to modern society to enhance the education system. How information is communicated using technology plays an important role in enhancing the engineering applications. The usage of technical devices in education system is essential for better communication. This paper analyzes the survey conducted on if ICT is helpful in engineering applications, the analysis conducted is based on gender, age and profession. ICT is especially important in present circumstances due to the pandemic we are facing.
