Why Electrical & Electronics Engineering

Electrical & Electronics Engineering is one of the core branches of engineering. The importance of electricity can be felt if we assume a day without electric power supply. Electricity is required for everything from domestic appliances to large industrial plants.

Electrical Engineering is a field that deals with study of generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. The major job of an electrical engineer is in design, fabrication, testing and commissioning of electrical equipments. Electrical engineers are required to develop, design, manufacture and maintain electrical systems. Electrical engineers are having openings in industries, power supply companies and so on.

Due to high pollution levels and depletion of ozone layer leading to global warming, most of the developed nations are concentrating on exploiting renewable sources such as wind, solar and small hydro to the maximum. Solar plants and wind mills are fast spreading all over. This will definitely enhance the job prospects of an electrical engineer.

Automobiles are the next major sources of pollution. Due to this, major automobile industries are focusing on the production of hybrid and electric vehicles. So, we can expect a revolution in the field of automobile industry, where all IC engines being replaced with electric motors, in the nearest future. Imagine the growth of electric motor industry and the consequent job prospects of an electrical engineer!

The job prospects of an electrical engineer are further augmented due to the vast industrial automation going on currently, as electrical engineers are the most appropriate for that job.

Due to all the facts stated above, the future of an electrical engineer appears bright and the branch will remain evergreen in terms of scope and job prospects.
