ECE

Importance of Branch:

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is one of the largest and fastest-growing fields of engineering. The present Global Technology revolution is changing the world and is offering challenging opportunities to specifically Engineers. Electronics and Communication Engineering has a vital position in this technology revolution. ECE is a subfield of core Electrical Engineering. Many IITs and Aboard Universities are considering the ECE branch within the name of Electrical Engineering. There are two streams in this branch i.e. Electronics field and Communication field at the graduate level (B.Tech) and they are separated as specializations at the postgraduate level.

The basic aim of Electronics and Communication Engineers is to produce products that are smaller, smarter, and multi-functional. All electronic devices need a software interface to run and come with one other or other device controlling programs architected and developed by electronics and communication engineering. It also gives great opportunities for research and development, as everyday consumers need new devices to support them in daily life.

Electronics engineers must find new solutions to the practical problems affecting our daily lives. It covers a wide range of applications which make our life easier and enjoyable such as Television, Radio, computers, telecommunication, etc. They help us to see, hear, and communicate over vast distances and do things faster. Electronics has a major role in improving productivity in industries like oil, energy, agriculture and so many other important sectors of the economy. In steel, petroleum, and chemical industries it is the electronic devices that direct, control, and test production processes. The health care industry depends on electronic instruments to perform chemical tests and to check body functions.

Many electronics engineers today specialize in the development of programs for microprocessor-based electronic systems, known as embedded systems. Due to the detailed knowledge of the hardware that is required for doing this, it is normally done by electronics engineers. Electronics engineers who exclusively carry out the role of programming embedded systems or microprocessors are referred to as “embedded systems engineers”, or “firmware engineers”.

here is a good scope for ECE engineers. The Scope is very wide open because the world is moving in the field of technology and developments.

1. It has scope in almost every industry as every industry deals with electronics and computers.

2. There is a huge scope for the Radio and Television industry after B Tech (Electronics & Communication Engineering).

3. They can also find jobs with both private and public Telecommunication companies.

4. Software companies are more interested to employ students with Electronics & Communication backgrounds.

5. They can find jobs in the power sector, steel plants petroleum, and chemical industry also.

6. They have the scope in both public sectors like ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization), ECIL (Electronics Corporation of India Limited), BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Center), DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization), BEL (Bharat Electronics Limited), DERL (Defense Electronics and Research Laboratory), BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited), HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) and Railway Departments and private sectors like Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics, Texas Instruments, Phillips Semiconductors, Hewlett-Packard (HP), International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Cisco Systems, HCL Technologies with regard to installation, operation and maintenance of electronics equipment and systems.

7. Defense, space, and other organizations, which undertake research on a large scale basis, employ electronics engineers in developing and designing systems and devices for telecommunication and signal processing.

8. Their services are used in designing, fabrication, and manufacturing of electronic equipment.

9. They can also take up teaching and research in one of the many engineering colleges in India or abroad and opt for research work.

10. They can go for PG Courses in IITs, M.S in Aboard with various Specializations like VLSI Design, Embedded System, Communication Engineering, Signals and System, Microwave Communications, etc.,

11. The ability to switch between Hardware and Software fields.
