What is electrical engineering about?
The field of electronic engineering deals with non-linear electronic components like, semi-conductors, electron tubes, integrated circuits, diodes, transistors, and other electrical components to build an electrical circuit which will form a part of a machinery system that can take care of certain mechanical or electrical functions. This can also be used to create passive electrical devices that are based on printed electric boards.
Electronics engineering field is a mother subject that encompasses several specific subjects like, analog electronics, digital electronics, power electronics, embedded electronic systems, consumer electronics and much more. This is one field that includes the implementation of principles, applications and algorithms that are related to various allied fields.
Career prospects for students with training in electronics and communications:
The telecom industry is currently growing at a fast rate. As per the current statistics, the telecom industry accrues over 9 million new subscribers every month. Thus, it is safe to say that this creates a pretty large space for engineers with an electronics or telecommunications degree. Moreover, there is always the IT sector to look to, both hardware as well as software.
Currently, the nation is emerging to be one of hubs in the field of Embedded Systems or VLSI. The starting package for a quality engineer even at entry level positions could be around USD 6000.00 at the topmost MNCs around the world.
In fact the communications, media and entertainment industry is the biggest employer of electrical personnel around the world. A few big names amongst the leaders in the hiring industry are corporate biggies like Vodafone, Star network etc.
Some leading industries hiring B.Techs and others trained in electronics are:
- Software engineering firms/IT
- Telecommunications
- Power sector
- Television industry
- Hardware manufacturing
- Television industry
- Home appliance, VLSI design
- Research and development
The job description in these fields mainly involves roles like setting up networks, maintaining electronic gears and other systems, setting up equipments. The list of biggest employers also includes names like IBM the corporate hardware giant, and other communications industry biggies like Siemens and Nokia also take up people skilled in electronics studies.
