- Many more...
WHY OPT FOR ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
- Electronics and Communication Engineering jobs represent over 50% of all available jobs in engineering!
- In India 60 % of the government jobs are from Electronics and Communication Engineering sector
- A ECE student can enter in to the job market of Computer engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, control engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering, VHDL, VLSI.
- The people certified with this course can even get diversified to software side finding their careers as software program developers and software engineers
- EC engineers are well positioned to address a variety of the crucial engineering issues facing societies today.
VARIOUS DOMAINS IN EC AND ITS APPLICATIONS
- Signal Processing - Transform a 3-kHz phone line into a 56 kb/s modem and 1.5-10 Mb/s ADSL.
- Telecommunications - Design and build the next-generation Internet.
- Wireless Communications and Networking - Provide tools without tether.
- Sensors, Microwave, and Image Processing - Map the surface of earth and planets or reveal the heartbeat of a one-inch fetus.
- Energy Systems and Power Electronics - Make small MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and big motors run by controlling the power from pico watts to megawatts and voltage from Nano volts to Mega volts.
- Nano-Electronics and Nano - Optics-Create new materials and discovers novel phenomenon by manipulating atoms and molecules.
- Plasma Processing - Give energy to electrons and ions.
- Laser and Photonics - Tame photons and generates the most brilliant light.
- MEMS, CAD, and Microsystems - Design and predict performance of systems.
- Micro-Electronics - Turn sand (yes, sand) into CPUs and memory
CAREER OPTIONS FOR AN EC GRADUATE
- Scientists and Engineers: Personnel in this category are involved in designing, prototyping and testing electronic and electromechanical system in research and development laboratories during the development phase of the product.
- Industrial Manufacturing Engineers: Manufacturing personnel are involved in testing of electronic products at the assembly-line level or in the mainline and trouble shooting of electronic and electromechanically system used in testing and manufacturing of products. Virtually every type manufacturing plant, regardless of its product, uses automated equipment that is electronically controlled.
