Introduction
Engineering is ovulated from the word ‘engineer’, which was refereed to military engines constructor. Engineering means applying scientific methods to design and build devices, machines, structures, systems, and processes. In this technology driven world, we can say that the engineers are the architects of the modern world. Engineers are like a highly talented breed of human beings. Engineering is blend of knowledge of economics, logic, mathematics, science and experience of solving complex problems.
Branches of Engineering
There are a number of branches in engineering. A few of them include:
- Chemical engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Software engineering
- Hardware engineering
- Automobile engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Civil engineering
- Nuclear engineering
- Aerospace engineering
- Biomedical engineering
- Architectural engineering
- Systems engineering
- Earthquake engineering
- Marine engineering
- Ocean engineering
- Mining and Geological engineering
- Petroleum engineering
- Environmental engineering
- Industrial engineering
- Genetic engineering
- Forensic engineering
- Global engineering
Importance of Engineering
Being practical in nature, engineering always remains ahead of all the fields like entertainment, religion and agriculture, because of efficient solutions to emergency issues that arise worldwide. Engineering courses open the doors for highest paying jobs. Engineering is counted among the top ten highest paying jobs in the world. Because of the risk involved in the work of engineers, they are offered high payments, incentives, perks and the benefits. This factor makes engineers earn some brownie points.
As qualified and skilled engineers are less in numbers, they always have an upper hand in the job market. Often they get freedom of designing their pay scale chart according to their views. Today, engineering is on a great demand because the world without engineers will be like a disaster. We are so much addicted to the smooth roads, well-designed bridges and overall infrastructure, even our own apartment, that we cannot live without perfection. More wonders created by engineers today include computers, airplanes, televisions, spacecrafts, air-conditioning, highways, agricultural mechanization and many such things.
There are no chances of turning tables on engineering people by other sector folks, keeping engineers’ bright future intact. Engineering plays an important role in the production, as the production industry will come to a standstill without engineering.
Engineering as a career option
Appearing for an engineering entrance examination is mandatory after completing HSC. The entrance exams include IITs, JEE, AIEEEs. For becoming a Professional Engineer, achieving Bachelors degree in engineering is essential. Accreditation Board for Engineering and technology is the body responsible for accreditation of engineering bachelors’ degree program. There are plenty of reputed engineering colleges in India. Some of them are:
- IIT (Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Kolkatta, Bangalore, Madras, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Guwahati)
- Mumbai University Institute of Chemical Technology
- BITS Pilani
- Dhirubhai Ambani IICT , Gandhi nagar
- Osmania University of Engineering, Hyderabad
- Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology, Delhi
- National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, Rourkela
- Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal
- Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore
- VJTI Mumbai
- Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore
- Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Mumbai
- Amity School of Engineering, Noida
CONCLUSION
It is just not possible to describe the engineering as a whole, because it is a vast field covering a lot of information. There are a number of opportunities in this field, which pays rationally for students’ hard work with high pays and rich experience.
