Electronics and communications Engineering: This course has a great demand for
students. Apart from jobs in electronic industry, students can easily get absorved
in computer hardware and software industry.
Electronics deal with the design of circuits and electric devices to
provide, amplify, detect or rectify electrical signals. Electronics
is rapidly changing and becoming increasingly important because of
new advances in microelectronics important because of new advances
in microelectronics. Our standard of living has significantly improved
due to the advent of transistors, semi-conductors and Integrated Circuits(ICs).
Communications involve a broad spectrum of applications from consumer
entertainment to military radar.
Recent advances in personal communication system(e.g., cellular telephones) and
video conferencing along with technological advances in lasers and fibre optics
are bringing about a revolution in the communications field.
Electrical Engineering: There are a number of jobs available for electrical
engineers in the field of electric power generation, transmission and
distribution, besides they are involved in manufacturing industry in
the production of electrical and electronic parts and many types of
switchgear and controls. Power engineers are involved with conventional
generation systems such as hydroelectric, steam and nuclear as well as
alternative generation systems from solar, wind and fuel cells.
Controls Engineers design systems that control automated operations and processes.
Control systems generally compare a measured quantity to a desired standard and make
whatever adjustments are needed to bring the measured quantity as close as possible
to the desired standard/Instrumentation. This involves the use of electronics devise,
particularly transducers, to measure parameters like pressure, temperature, flow rate,
speed, acceleration, voltage and current. Instrumentation engineers not only conduct
such measurements themselves, they also take part in processing, storing and
transmitting the data they collect.
Mechanical Engineering: There is hardly any industry
which does not use Mechanical Engineers. Mechanical Engineering is grouped into
the three broad areas. Energy involves the production and transfer of energy as
well as the conversion of energy from on form to another. Mechanical Engineers in
this area design and operate power plants, study the economical combustion of fuels,
design processes to convert heat energy into mechanical energy and create ways to put
that mechanical energy to work, Mechanical Engineering in energy and create ways to
put that mechanical energy to work, Mechanical Engineers in energy-related fields
also design heating, Ventilation and air-conditioning systems for our homes, offices,
commercial buildings and industrial plants.
Design of structures and Motion of Mechanical Systems:
Mechanical Engineering in these areas contribute to the design of automobiles,
trucks, tractors, trains, airplanes and even interplanetary space vehicles.
They design lathes, milling machines, grinders and drill presses used in the
manufacture of goods.
Manufacturing : The third area of Mechnical Engineering
study, is the process of converting raw materials into a final product. To take this
process from start to finish, a variety of equipment, machinery and tools is bound to
be needed. Designing and building these requisite equipment and machines are what the
manufacturing areas of Mechanical Engineering entails.
Civil Engineering: With the present focus on infrastructure
development such as roads, pots and transport facilities, the Civil Engineering
will be most sought after.
Structural Engineers : Design all types of structures,
bridges, building, dams, tunnels, tanks, power plants, tansmission line towers,
offshore drilling platforms and space satellites. Their primary responsibility is
to analyze the forces that a structure would encounter and develop a design to
withstand those forces.
Transportation Engineers: are concerned with the safe and
efficient movement of both people and goods. They thus play key roles in the design of
high ways and streets, harbours and ports, mass transit systems, airports and railroads.
Environmental Engineers: are responsible for controlling
preventing and elimination air, water and land pollution. To these ends, they are
typically involved in the design and operation of water distribution systems, water
treatment facilities, sewage treatment plants, garbage disposal systems, air quality
control programmes recycling and reclamation projects, toxic waste clean up projects
and pesticide control programmes.
Water sources: is an engineering specialty focused on water
related problems and issues. The work of engineers in this area includes the operation
of water availability an delivery systems, the evaluation of potential new water sources,
harbor and river development, floor control, irrigation and drainage projects, coastal
protection and the construction and maintenance of hydroelectric power facilities.
Geo-technical Engineers: analyze the properties of soil
and rocks over which structures and facilities are built. Their work is thus vital to
the design and contraction of earth structures(dams and levees), foundation and buildings,
offshore platforms, tunnels and drams.
Construction Engineers: Use both technical and management
skills to plan and build facilities such as buildings, bridges, tunnels and dams.
They are generally responsible for such projects from start of finish: estimating
construction costs, determining equipment and personnel needs, supervising the construction,
and once completed, operating the facility until the client assumes responsibility.
Computer Engineering : This is arguably the hottest branch
with a wide number of opportunities in India and abroad. The only field where A.P.
graduates are accepted as top class globally.
On one side is Computer Sciences, primarily concerned with theory,
design and implementation of software. It is a true engineering discipline,
even though the product is a intangible computer programme. On the other
side is Computer Engineering, primarily concerned with firmware
(the micro code that controls processors) and hardware(the processors
themselves, as well as entire computers).
The primary technical areas that Computer Engineers are involved with are:
Digital system ‘s computer architecture, parallel and distributed computing, software engineering,
algorithms, programming languages, compilers, operating systems, computer networks, artificial
intelligence, image processing, natural language processing and bio-metrics.
Chemical Engineering: If you are innovative and like processes,
there is nothing like this branch for you. Chemical Engineers combine their engineering
training with knowledge of chemistry to transform the laboratory work of chemists into
commercial realities. They are most frequently involved in designing and operating
chemical production and manufacturing facilities that use chemicals. The work of chemical
Engineers can be seen in a wide variety of products that affect our daily lives, including
plastics, building materials, food products, pharmaceuticals, synthetic rubber,
synthetic fibers and petroleum products.
Bio-technology: It is the most happening branch of the new
millennium. If you can go through the hassles of learning any number of new subjects,
this branch may be the most suitable one. While technology generally aims to create
tools to empower man, bio-technology aims to change man himself, to better equip him
to the changing world.
Bio-technology is the application of advances made in the biological sciences,
especially involving the science of genetics. The advent of G.M.(Genetically Manipulated)
seeds has brought a revolution in Agriculture. Bio-technology has helped improve food
quality ,quantity and processing. It also has applications in manufacturing, where
simple cells and proteins can be manipulated to produce chemicals. But biro-technology
is most important for is application sin health and medicine. Though genetic
engineering the controlled alteration of genetic material-scientists have been
able to create new medicines such as synthetic Insulin. Bio-Informatics helps
to create huge genome databases, an example of wide applications of computers
in bio-technology.
Engineering job functions: another way to understand the
engineering profession is to examine engineers from the perspective of the work
they do or the job functions they perform .For example , an electrical
engineer could also be referred to as a design engineer , a Test Engineer ,
Test Engineer or a Development Engineer, depending of the nature of his
or her work .
