Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to problem solving. While scientists and inventors create new ideas, it is engineers who put these ideas into practice.

Engineering is a component of STEM education, which aims to engage students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but it has been practiced as a discipline for thousands of years.

Engineers work on everything from cell membranes to building and prosthetics, as well as improving engine and transportation efficiencies and developing renewable energy resources.

Engineering is a vast field with numerous specializations such as computer science, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics, and so on. This list could go on and on, but it is true that not every course provides the same career opportunities. Some courses are currently in high demand, but are expected to decline in the coming years. This may be affected by a variety of factors such as technological advancements, industrial growth, the demand and supply ratio of employers vs. employees, and so on.

What does an Engineers Do?

Engineers work on a wide range of products, structures, and systems, designing, evaluating, developing, testing, modifying, inspecting, and maintaining them. This includes everything from recommending materials and processes to supervising manufacturing and construction processes, conducting failure analysis and investigation, and teaching engineering to students and trainees.

Engineering Fields

Computer Science Engineering

Computer science engineering is in high demand today, and it is clear that this demand will continue. Engineers are needed not only in the IT industry, but in every business, from commerce to design to textiles to finance, and so on.

The computer science course includes topics such as programming language, software development, coding, and program management. All of these abilities are in high demand in the market, and skilled professionals in this field are well compensated.

Some career options include software developer, data analyst, data engineer, cyber security specialist, machine learning engineer, project manager, web developer, and so on.

Engineering in Electronics and Communication (ECE)

If you're interested in electrical circuits, appliances, signal systems, communication technology, or gadgets, this could be the course for you! The telecommunications and electronics industries are constantly expanding, and this will remain in demand for many years to come.

Network engineer, R&D software engineer, software analyst, technical analyst, desktop support engineer, and other career options are available.

 Engineering in Mechanical

Mechanical engineering is one of the most sought-after course specialisations in the field, involving the working mechanisms of the machineries used in various industries.

Engineering, physics, material sciences, and machinery applications are all part of the research. If you have an interest in automobiles, product design, or manufacturing, this could be a good option for you!

TATA, DRDO, Reliance Industries, Mahindra & Mahindra, and other small and large scale industries actively hire mechanical engineers.

Electric Engineering

As you are probably aware, electrical engineering is not only a popular choice for many students, but it is also offered by the majority of colleges. Control systems, circuit analysis, electronics, instrumentation, magnetism, physics, design, application, and systems are among the studies/subjects covered.

Electrical engineering, telecommunication engineering, electrical design engineering, instrumentation engineering, technical engineer, and other career options are available in this field.

Placement opportunities and popular companies that actively recruit electrical engineers include: Bajaj, BHEL, Siemens, Reliance, Crompton Greaves (CGL), and other industries that rely on electrical circuitry and networking, among others.

Civil Engineering

The branch of engineering concerned with infrastructure, its construction processes, and the overall system's design, maintenance, and planned architecture. In a modern country like India, construction projects never stop, and civil engineers' skills are in high demand right now. Highways, bridges, tunnels, and metro construction projects can be found all around us; this is just one of the reasons why building planning and surveying are necessary. Materials, mechanisms, construction technology, geology, structural analysis, building design, and other topics are covered in civil engineering subjects and major studies.

CAD technician, rural and urban transport engineer, structural engineer, design engineer, nuclear engineer, site engineer, building surveyor, and other career options are available in this field.

Engineering in Chemistry

As the name implies, it is the branch of engineering that deals with the study of chemical reactions and processes. Chemical engineers are needed for skilled work in industries such as fertilizer, pesticide, petroleum and oil, and food manufacturing.

ONGC, Reliance, Essar Oil Ltd., Fertilizer industries, Gujarat Gas company, Petroleum/food processing industries, and so on.

Other top specializations include biochemical engineering, aerospace engineering, artificial intelligence, cyber security specialization, data science, agriculture engineering, and so on.
