Scope of electrical engineering

Electrical engineering is the study of electricity, electronics and magnetism along with their various applications in modern engineering systems. Electrical engineering incorporates various sub-fields such as communications, control system, power, instrumentation, etc. Electricity has always been a fascinating subject in Physics and the students who want to take up a career in electricity can opt for btech Electrical Engineering courses offered by many engineering colleges in India and abroad.

What is the course content?

B.Tech program in electrical engineering spans four years which is usually divided into eight semesters. The students are taught the various concepts related to electricity and electric machineries. A thorough technical knowledge of various electrical machines such as motors, generators and transformers are imparted to the students along with the knowledge of AC current, DC current, electromagnetism, control systems, circuits and many more.

The first year of btech Electrical Engineering courses deals with many common engineering subjects such as engineering physics and mathematics, mechanics of solids, engineering graphics, elements of mechanical and electrical engineering, etc. The various topics specifically related to electricity are introduced in the second year such as circuits, micro controllers, power electronics, switchgear, electrical design, high voltage engineering, advanced power electronics, electromagnetism, etc. The common subjects that are taught in many semesters are electrical machine design and engineering mathematics. Students are required to elect a subject of their choice in different semesters. The elective subjects may be different depending upon the college. 

B.Tech electrical engineering programs also feature electrical lab sessions for the students to get enough practical exposure in working with electrical components. Workshops are also routinely organized by the department. 

Post graduation

M.Tech courses in Electrical Engineering are offered in a plethora of sub-fields of electrical engineering. Some of them are listed below

·       Control engineering means the designing of controllers for controlling many dynamic systems and finds application in propulsion systems of aircrafts, cruise control in automobiles, etc. Control engineering involves electronic circuits, microcontrollers and digital signal processors.

·       Electronics engineering deals with the design and construction of electronic circuits and the modern integrated circuits that are used in modern computers and other electronic devices.

·       Power engineering is the branch of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and the design of various devices such as transformers, electric motors, electric generators, etc.

·       Signal processing deals with the various aspects of analysis and manipulation of signals.

Other specialized fields of electrical engineering include instrumentation, telecommunications, computer and microelectronics.

Admission

Getting admission into a B.Tech program in electrical engineering requires the student to pass the intermediate exam with Physics and Math prior to qualifying the entrance test. In India, JEE Mains is the principal exam for securing a seat in B.Tech course. Individual entrance tests are also conducted by many private universities. For example, St Andrews Institute of Technology and Management, Gurgaon grants admission into its B.Tech program in electrical engineering and other disciplines on the basis of JEE rank.

M.Tech courses in Electrical Engineering are offered by many reputed institutions in India. The engineering graduate must clear the GATE examination to gain admission in an M.Tech course.
