Engineering As A Career
EngineeringEngineering as a career option has to be finalized at an age when the student is not very mature. Most of the time it’s the parent's choice, who undoubtedly think in the best interest of their ward or the students imitating the seniors. Not necessary, those furnishing the advice are engineers or have the complete idea of engineering as a profession. It’s seldom that the one opting for the career is completely aware of Engineering as a profession. engineering related Career OptionsThe ethos of Engineering is not new to the Indian subcontinent. The Rustless Wonder - the Iron Pillar at Delhi, in the memory of Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya, is testimony to the advances made in metallurgy some 2000 years back. But yes the study of engineering was confined to few and the scope of engineering was certainly limited. But with the onset of development fueled by science and technology and the growth of service sector Engineering as a career has attracted the student fraternity of the country in a big way. Number of aspirants taking the engineering exams are testimony to the fact. A large number of students take the Engineering Entrance Examination but few are aware of the various career options that engineering as a profession offers. Engineers use their skills and knowledge in a specific field to make things work, solve problems and improve the world around us. Engineers can be involved in building, testing and designing all sorts of products and structures. They can be found all over the world working in many different areas: environmental management, transport, medicine, broadcasting, electronics and even enabling space exploration. You name it, engineers have worked on it!Why Engineering as a stream?Any act of yours, bringing tangible change in the society, would undoubtedly bring a sense of satisfaction and feeling of pride. What if, besides the quotient of satisfaction and feeling of pride you also earn a handsome amount and reputation in the society? A career in the field of engineering provides just that. Engineering is amongst the few professions where creativity and ingenuity knows no bounds. Moreover if you are the one among those who look for challenging opportunities than probably, engineering is the most ideal profession to opt for. As an aerospace engineer you have the chance of developing cryogenics technology badly needed for the country to make advances in the space research, as a Civil Engineer you have the opportunity of developing earth quake resistant houses and as an electrical engineer the challenge lies in developing superconductors. Your new mobile phone or your tablet computer? Electronics engineers have had a hand in making it. What about the make-up or deodorant you’re wearing? Chemical engineers will have tested out the product in a laboratory. The car you travel in? Automotive engineers have worked in a team to make it happen. Engineering is central to an exciting range of businesses and industries, including construction, transport, cosmetics, medicine, food, fashion and much more. With engineering, you can follow your interests - if you like sport, you can work as an engineer improving the performance of new tennis rackets. Engineers work in offices, laboratories, film studios, in the outdoors and underground. Engineering today is closely linked with technology, and plays a major role in many technological advances and new device production. You might be reading this on your phone, and that will be thanks to engineers. As an engineer you could be designing colour-matching technology to determine the best make-up for different skin tones or working as part of a team to improve the performance of artificial hip joints. Meanwhile, the perks of a job in the food industry may include tasting the chocolate prior to production! The list is endless. In a similar fashion every stream of engineering has lots of such opportunities and challenges. And if you are the one looking for opportunities where creativity and imagination are the tools to mitigate the challenges then you ought to be an Engineer.Rewards and Opportunities1.Job SatisfactionStudies show that, by far, the most important cause of dissatisfaction among the working people is the job dissatisfaction. Thus, it is important to find a career that provides job satisfaction. After all, one has to spend good part of his/her life at work station and if the place you work delivers content and satisfaction you are bound to grow in a better way with each passing day.2. PrestigeEngineers play an important role in the development of the nation and add to its international stature in a big way. And in this pursuit, one also earns a reputed place in the society. 3. Challenging WorkEngineering is all about fixing things so as to make the object serve its purpose in the best possible and efficient way. From the flying machine of the Wright brothers to the stealth bombers the range of improvement and development is enormous. Here lies the challenge. Challenge is not only about visualizing the development and improvement but also in performing it. 4. Intellectual DevelopmentEngineering as a profession is function of creativity and ingenuity. Its more about developing the best possible option. This in turn involves great utilization of your mental faculties as compared to the professions where practice and pattern aid a lot in performing the job. 5. Contribute to SocietyNo one can deny the contribution of society in one’s own development but few bother to contribute for the same. Engineering as a career provides lots of opportunity to this end too. A civil engineer can design models for easing out traffic congestion. A software engineer can develop cheap and user friendly software for the disabled, an electrical engineer can devise ways and means for optimum utilization of electricity. All in the interest of the society and ones own career.6. Financial SecurityWhile financial security should not be the only reason for choosing a career in engineering, if you decide to become an engineer you will be well paid. Engineering graduates receive one of the highest starting salaries of any discipline.7. Professional EnvironmentAs an engineer, you will work in a professional environment where creativity and intellect are on the top priority. Working in such an environment with creative and intellectual colleagues is rewarding in itself. 8. Variety of Career OpportunitiesNeil Armstrong, Jimmy Carter, and Alfred Hitchcock, an astronaut, a president, and one a filmmaker – from different streams of occupation all together but a commonality, they all started with an engineering education. Engineering as a profession offers a wide range of career possibilities. From the design of fighter planes to that of pacemakers for hearts from boring holes deep in the earth for the petrochemicals to steeping at mars, engineers play the pivotal role.

Acoustic Engineers work with construction companies involved in building large halls, buildings and public address systems; theatres and producers of large music systems or speakers. At a time when the real estate industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom, this discipline offers great opportunities. 2. Aeronautical / Aerospace / Astronautical EngineeringAn Aeronautical engineer is involved in developing various technologies related to aircrafts, spaceships and missiles. Aeronautics and astronautics are among the most popular of engineering disciplines. Most students wish to work with NASA after pursuing this branch of Engineering. One can join a space research organization or, can become an Astronaut. Some students may go on to work with airplane or missile manufacturing companies. Originally called aeronautical engineering and dealing solely with aircraft, the broader term "aerospace engineering" has replaced the former in most usage, as flight technology has become more advanced and includes craft operating outside the Earth's atmosphere. In analogy with "aeronautical engineering", the branch is sometimes referred to as astronautical engineering, although this term usually only concerns craft which operate in outer space. 3. Agriculture EngineeringA student, after getting this degree, can work in designing agricultural equipment, which may lead to control of soil erosion. Agricultural engineers work in irrigation and land conservation projects; and efficient processing, transporting and storing of agricultural products for maximum freshness and minimum losses; and also to reduce any kind of human effort involved in these chores. 4. Automobiles engineeringStudents of this branch of engineering study about developing various technologies related to automobiles and other vehicles as well as their design and production. With the growing automobile industry, this branch of engineering provides lucrative job opportunities and excellent compensation for fresh engineering graduates as well as experienced professionals. 5.

NIT : NOT LESS THAN IIT's
The National Institutes of Technology (NITs): are a group of higher education engineering institutes in India. Comprising thirty autonomous institutes, they are located in one each major state/territory of India. On their inception decades ago, all NITs were referred to as Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) and were governed by their respective state governments. A parliamentary legislation in 2002 brought them under the direct purview of India's federal government. In 2007, through legislation, the Indian government declared these schools as Institutes of National Importance at par with the Indian Institutes of Technology. NITs were found to promote regional diversity and multi-cultural understanding in India. Therefore, in the NIT school system, 50% of the student population in each batch is drawn from the respective state of the NIT and the other 50% is drawn from the rest of India on a common merit list. This is different than the Indian Institutes of Technology or IITs - another prominent engineering school system in India. An IIT need not accept specified number of students from any region of India as the IIT admission criteria is based only on the performance of a student in an entrance examination. NITs offer degree courses at bachelors, masters, and doctorate levels in various branches of engineering and technology. Various nationwide college surveys rate most of the NITs over other colleges in India, except for the IITs and a few other institutions. NITs function autonomously, similarly to IITs, sharing only entrance tests. The autonomy enables the NITs to set up their own curriculum, thereby making it easier to adapt to changing industry requirements. The admissions to the Undergraduate Programmes at these institutions for all Indian and Foreign nationals are made through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main.List of NITs in India Among all the 31 NITs in India, NIT Patna, established in 1886, is the oldest while NIT Goa, NIT Manipur, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Puducherry, NIT Sikkim, NIT Uttarakhand, NIT Andhra Pradesh are recently formed institutions. MHRD has assigned ranking to almost all the NIT. NIT Calicut had the highest seat intake for BTech programmes with 909 seats while NIT Goa, Manipur, and Mizoram contains the lowest seats at 150.NIT Trichy (NITT), 1964 NIT Karnataka (NITK), 1960 NIT Rourkela (NITRKL), 1961 NIT Warangal (NITW), 1959 NIT Calicut (NITC), 1961 NIT Nagpur (VNIT), 1960 NIT Durgapur (NITDGP), 1960 NIT Silchar (NITS), 1967 NIT Jaipur (MNIT), 1963 NIT Allahabad (MNNIT), 1961 NIT Kurukshetra (NITKKR), 1963 NIT Jalandhar (NITJ), 1987 NIT Surat (SVNIT), 1961 NIT Meghalaya (NITM), 2010 NIT Patna (NITP), 1886 NIT Raipur (NITRR), 1956 NIT Srinagar (NITSRI), 1960 NIT Bhopal (MANIT), 1960 NIT Agartala (NITA), 1965 NIT Goa (NITG), 2010 NIT Jamshedpur (NITJSR), 1960 NIT Manipur (NITMN), 2010 NIT Hamirpur (NITH), 1986 NIT Uttarakhand (NITUK), 2010 NIT Puducherry (NITPY), 2010 NIT Arunachal Pradesh (NITAP), 2010 NIT Sikkim (NITSKM), 2010 NIT Delhi (NITD), 2010 NIT Mizoram (NITMZ), 2010 NIT Nagaland (NITN), 2010 NIT Andhra Pradesh (NITANP), 2015 NIT Trichy (NITT), 1964NIT Karnataka (NITK), 1960NIT Rourkela (NITRKL), 1961NIT Warangal (NITW), 1959NIT Calicut (NITC), 1961NIT Nagpur (VNIT), 1960NIT Jaipur (MNIT), 1963NIT Kurukshetra (NITKKR), 1963NIT Silchar (NITS), 1967NIT Durgapur (NITDGP), 1960NIT Allahabad (MNNIT), 1961NIT Jalandhar (NITJ), 1987NIT Surat (SVNIT), 1961NIT Meghalaya (NITM), 2010NIT Bhopal (MANIT), 1960NIT Raipur (NITRR), 1956NIT Agartala (NITA), 1965NIT Goa (NITG), 2010NIT Jamshedpur (NITJSR), 1960NIT Patna (NITP), 1886NIT Hamirpur (NITH), 1986NIT Puducherry (NITPY), 2010NIT Manipur (NITMN), 2010NIT Arunachal Pradesh (NITAP), 2010NIT Srinagar (NITSRI), 1960NIT Delhi (NITD), 2010NIT Mizoram (NITMZ), 2010NIT Nagaland (NITN), 2010NIT Sikkim (NITSKM), 2010NIT Uttarakhand (NITUK), 2010NIT Andhra Pradesh (NITANP), 2015
