Career in Engineering
What is engineering?
People generally have a reasonable idea of what a dentist, a lawyer or a teacher does. However, the scope of the activities covered by the term ‘engineer’ is more difficult to summarize.
In today’s world, engineers are mainly concerned with maintaining and improving living standards and quality of life in a society. Almost every aspect in our lives has somehow been influenced by engineers – the water we drink; the buildings we live in, learn in and work in; the products created in factories; the computers we surf the net on; medical services and technologies we rely on; the appliances and vehicles that make our lives more efficient and comfortable.
Engineers use their knowledge of science, mathematics, logic, economics and appropriate experience or tact knowledge to find suitable solutions to a problem. As a discipline, engineering is the work of skills, which require a high end imagination focused on a point, to devise the best possible plan to meet a need. Unlike, other professions where, practice and pattern may work, engineering is more about hit and try instinct, using the innovative skills. It is also about fixing things so as to make the objects to serve its purpose in the best possible and most efficient way.
Engineering has become one of the top career choices, after one completes pre university education in science stream.
To ‘engineer’ literally means to “make things happen”. Engineering is about the design and production of useful products and services. Engineering know-how converts scientific knowledge into technology and then technology into successful innovation!
Here are just a few reasons why you should consider a career in engineering.
Engineers have diverse careers
Engineers get to do cool stuff
Engineers work on interesting projects
Engineers have a good work/life balance
Engineers have a great lifestyle
Engineers have diverse careers
Engineering is an exciting career. Engineers achieve great things. Throughout history, people working in engineering have contributed to their communities, countries, colleagues and civilizations by making tools, machines and countless other things to help people improve their lives and progress onto better things.
The diversity of engineering means that whatever your interest, there is probably a place for you working in engineering. From information technology to medical science and mining, from building roads to space travel, engineers are working to make things happen.
There is growing skill shortage of trained engineering workers across all engineering sectors. are the number one barrier to business growth and delivery., technology Current workforce projections show that Australia needs more engineers (TAFE and university graduates) to maintain the level of growth in the Australian economy.
We need more engineering personnel to build roads, support hospitals, staff climate change projects, modernize Australia’s Defence Force and the list goes on.
What does a skills shortage mean for people considering engineering as a career choice – job security? It is that simple.
Engineers get to do cool stuff
Being an engineer means you get to be the first to develop or try out new technologies like artificial hearts, developing and delivering better constructed environmentally sustainable buildings like the first undersea house! Engineers design and build virtual reality worlds, soccer fields or new planets. Engineers discover and patent new materials that can cure cancer or cure the common cold. Engineers are involved in making the future a reality.
Engineers work everywhere: in cities, regional and rural communities, even remote wilderness areas.
Some engineers work business offices, classrooms, others in factories or research labs; some work outdoors or even in outer space.
Some engineers undertaken double degrees and go into medicine, law, business management, or policy. An engineering education will prepare you for many different careers.
Just think that right after graduation from TAFE or university you might be earning a relatively good income and/or be offered work on interesting and challenging projects in interesting parts of Australia or the world.
An engineering career offers the opportunity to travel around the world making a difference and contributing to communities. It is a versatile and rewarding career which can take students anywhere they want to go – either with companies, governments, aid organisations, or as your own boss.
Engineers work on interesting projects
Engineers usually work in project teams made up of people with expertise in different areas such as accounting, law, project management, surveying, drafting to name a few.
Engineers have a good work/life balance
Flexibility and effective time management skills are key skills engineers need to manage and work.
The growing skill shortages across many fields of engineering are generating higher graduate salaries and other benefits for engineering graduates. See the comparative income table between engineers and other disciples.
Additionally, there is plenty of work for engineering graduates with full-time employment percentages ranging from 86.2 per cent to 98.7 per cent.
Engineers have a great lifestyle
Because engineers have good incomes and have a good work/life balance, engineers get to enjoy their many different hobbies and interests. An engineering career is very well paid which means engineers have the financial security that allows you to really enjoy life.

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are a group of autonomous engineering institutes of India. The IITs are governed by the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961 which has declared them as "institutions of national importance. The Institutes of Technology Act, 1961 lists sixteen institutes located at Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mandi, Mumbai, Patna, Ropar, Roorkee and Varanasi. Each IIT is an autonomous institution, linked to the others through a common IIT Council, which oversees their administration. The IITs award degrees starting from B.Tech to Ph.D.
The IITs have a common admission process for undergraduate admissions. It was based on IIT-JEE, replaced by Joint Entrance Examination in 2013. The graduate level program that awards M. Tech. degree in engineering is administered by the older IITs (Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Delhi, Guwahati, and Roorkee). M.Tech. admission decisions are made on the basis of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). In addition to B. Tech and M. Tech programs IITs also award other graduate degrees such as M.Sc. in Engineering, Maths, Physics and Chemistry, PhD and more. Joint Admission Test to M.Sc.

Future IIT : Indian School of Mines, with approval of its Finance Committee, Executive Board and General Council, had forwarded the proposal for its conversion into an IIT in 2009, after which a detailed project report was prepared as per the directions of the Union Ministry of Human Resource and Development. In September 2011, a resolution was passed by the Government of Jharkhand, recommending the Government of India to convert ISM to an IIT. In June 2012, the Planning Commission favoured this conversion during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017). It may be noted that for this conversion, a Bill has to be introduced in Parliament by the Union HRD Minister. ISM is the only institute of India selected by National Development Council or NDC to be converted into an IIT in the 12th Five Year Plan.ISM students have already obtained the support of majority of M.P.'s on this matter. A meeting of IIT Council for the same was held on 12 January 2013. In this meeting, setting up of an expert committee for review of this matter was proposed.

Engineering and Architecture Entrance Exams
A new JEE Main and JEE Advanced pattern introduced from 2013
In the academic year 2013, the first version of the modified JEE for admission to non IIT central technical institutions and separately for the 15 premier IITs was held. The same format was followed in 2014 as well.
In the new format, there are two examinations- JEE Main conducted by the CBSE for admission to non IIT central technical institutions such as 30 NITs and IIITs. In an effort to normalize the school marks , as different boards award marks differently, 40% weightage was given to it and 60% to the JEE Main score. Top 1.50 lakh students from the score of JEE Main are allowed to sit in the JEE Advanced, for admission to the IITs and ISMs. So the aspirants to IITs will have to make sure to perform well, both in entrance exam and at school as well.
A quick look at the changes:
· Two examinations- JEE Main and JEE Advanced. JEE Main conducted by CBSE and JEE Advance conducted by the IIT Joint Admission Board (IIT-JAB)
· In JEE Main-40% weightage to school marks and 60% to JEE Main score.
· Top 1.50 lakh scorers of JEE Mains are selected to sit in JEE Advanced

How to choose the right Engineering Branch?
Computer Science and Engineering
1. Do you like computers?(I am talking about games and internet)
2. Do you want to do something new in computer?
3. Do you always experiment with your computer and surprise others ?
4 Are you strong enough in mathematics and logic making skills ?
5. Do you like puzzles?
6. Are you having a good IQ?
If you answer most of the question in yes then this is the branch for you and you are made for this branch. This branch require a good logic making skills and good aptitude ,innovation and hard work. If you are having all these things in you then go for this branch. Information Technology This branch requires the same skills as in Computer science & engineering. There is a little bit difference in their syllabus content. There is no big difference as far as placement and job opportunity is concerned both the branch are equally good and well payed.
Electrical & Electronics
1. Have you ever open your switch board and repair it?
2. Do you want to know the functioning of your home electrical appliances?
3. Do you want to know what is really going on in a computer CPU?
4. Are u interested in sensors & transistor?
5. Do you want to make your own robot?
If yes then this is the branch for you, again there is a small difference in electrical and electronics most of the syllabus content are same. In most college theses are separate branches but in some college they are same. In short we can say that electronics is subset of electrical. As far as placement and job opportunity is concerned then it depend from college to college.
Mechanical & production engineering
1.Are you interested in bike and cars design?
2.Do you take interest in functioning of daily routine things ?
3.Do you ask basic question to your teachers(i.e how this works ? how that works ?)
4.Do you like physics ?
5.Do you like to make some new mechanism ?
6.Do you like to use your engineering skills for a common man life ?
if yes then you are at right place this is the branch for you. This branch require a real hard work. In most of the colleges mechanical and production are different branches but there syllabus content are more or less similar but in few college this is combine. There is a misconception that in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared to computer science and electronics. Again it's depend upon individual .This is called evergreen branch ,now a days there are a lot of job opportunity and money in this sector if you have talent and ready to work hard.
Civil Engineering
1.Are you interested in building making ?
2.Are you ready to rock the world by your talent ?
3.Have you ever think how this can be done after seeing a building ?
if yes then this is the branch for you. There is a misconception that in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared to others branch. It is not so, if you are hardworking and talented then there are a lot of opportunity in this sector.
Then best of luck and go ahead. I think now you can decide your branch If you don't get the branch of your choice by mistake or due to your lower rank then don't worry I will tell you how to deal with this situation. This is not the end.
ü The human resource ministry has decided to modify the existing two-tier format of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) by integrating JEE Main and JEE Advanced into a single entrance test.
The changes, according to the Ministry, will be implemented from 2015.
The new unified examination will serve as the gateway to undergraduate engineering programs in all central governments funded engineering schools across the country. As a necessary precursor to this new admission format, the government has urged all engineering colleges to conduct a counselling for students in 2014.
The existing two-tier format includes one preliminary (JEE Main) and one advanced (JEE Advanced) test. While the JEE Main is used for selecting deserving candidates for all central government funded technical schools, including the Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs), JEE Advanced serves as the entrance exam for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs).
It is worth mentioning that only those who rank amongst the top 1, 50,000, are qualified to appear in JEE Advanced.
Ø You need to be well prepared for college and branch selection process, counselling in Engineering Entrance Exams is not an easy task.
Here is a sort of a problem faced by an individual: A student is tense, his IIT-JEE results are out and he does not stand a chance. He is confident of cracking AIEEE, but the scores will be out only by June 6. He has given the State Board exam but is awaiting results. He has offers of admissions from two private universities and both want him to join before May 31.
If we were to advise this student, we would suggest that if the private university has a reasonably good placement record and the branch offered is to his liking, he must take it. The Government of India has come out with strict ruling that no college can withhold more than Rs. 1,000 of fees if a candidate withdraws before the last date.
But even the issue still does not get sorted, here are some questions that would be in his mind for the next two months until he finally freeze on that elusive engineering seat:
· Should I wait for AIEEE or should I take VIT admissions?
· Will I get a seat in Mechanical at NIT Trichy?
· Is LNMIIIT a good bet?
· Which branch would be suitable for me? Is Mechanical still the coveted branch?
· Do IT and Computer Science have any more traction?
The engineering ball game
Admissions is a complicated process because it varies by the entrance exam, the type of institution and the State in which the institution is located. Like him, one in four engineering aspirants takes the IIT. Maybe one in two would take AIEEE and almost everyone eligible would look at the state-level test/admissions. The only exceptions would be those who score very high but still prefer a St. Stephen’s to NIT, Trichy. Such a tribe is very minuscule. The students have a hierarchy of admissions:
· Established IITs - Top priority
· Established NITs - Second Priority
· Established players
· New players who have brand recall - next level
· Other colleges
If the admissions schedule too follow this criterion, life would be easy for the student. But that is not the case. The private and deemed universities begin their counselling quite early, the AIEEE counselling goes on for about two-and-a-half months and State counselling varies from a one-time face-to-face affair lasting five minutes to a three-round online affair. In such times, being prepared is the least a student can do.
ü Branch selection process
In selecting a branch your first priority must be your interest However, Ashwin Kumar a BE pass-out from CSMV University has a different opinion. According to him barring a few students, most do not have very defined preferences when they appear for Engineering. So he says, it makes sense to have only negative preferences, that is, branches you will not take. Then assess the branch that opens up maximum possible jobs, he says. According to him Mechanical fits the bill because a range of companies including public sector look for them and next to circuit branches, even for IT companies (the largest recruiters in campus) it is the most preferred branch. Sonali Kanal, a student of the same college has a different take. She would go by personal preferences. She is pursuing her third year Instrumentation and has already earned a pre-placement offer from GE-Medical. So the verdict is split. Interest is the prime concern. But if you are not too particular, then go for a branch which opens up opportunities.
ü Engineering Vs Medicine
Studying medicine or engineering has been two of the most popular options for students since long time. Both of the fields have created excitement among students and attracted many students owing to the best career opportunity. In fact, both provide most wanted careers to students who opt for these. Students across the world find themselves at the crossroads after completing their high school. It is really confusing to decide from these two fields of science and choose one as a career. For toppers, the decision to opt between engineering and medicine is the most difficult task. However, there seems to be a bias towards engineering which is only natural and reflected in the numbers of doctors and engineers across the country. Though there are far more numbers of engineering college in our country and even worldwide as compared to number of medical schools.
Comparing both of the fields can be quite debating, but still there are facts associated with the both. Four years of engineering study can fetch a decent paying job as soon you graduate, whereas it is at least 8 years of hard work to study medicine and even then you could not hope to earn as much as an engineer. Normally a medical student requires 4 years of MBBS with one year of internship and a three year masters in a particular medical field. However, the nobility aspect of a medicine career attracts many students towards medicine and tends to attract a lot of female students. Being able to provide relief to people, curing their ailments and in some cases, saving their lives is a big enough incentive for some to be lured by this noble profession and satisfaction is something more than money can really get you. However, there are lots more differences between medicine and engineering that will be highlighted in this article.
Engineering
Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. Engineering is all about optimization that how effectively you can discover new things and cut down cost without compromising the quality. It may encompass using insights to conceive, model and scale an appropriate solution to a problem or objective. The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of technology and types of application. Engineering requires a lot of practical thinking and a good IQ level. To opt for an engineering course, one need to have clear understanding of the fundamentals in practical and be enough sharp to make use of science in practical way utilizing his sharpness and creating something useful. To opt for engineering a student has two ways:
- First one is to opt for non-medical with major subjects as physical, chemistry and math for his 11th standard after completing his tenth. After studying non-medical in 11th and 12th, student needs to appear for various entrance exams in order to secure his seat in an engineering college.
- Second option is to opt for a diploma course in any engineering field after clearing class 10th and after completing their 3 year diploma, students can gain direct entry to second year of engineering through LEET exam.
Some major branches of engineering are:
- Mechanical engineering
- Civil engineering
- Chemical engineering
- Computer Science engineering
- Electronics and Communication engineering
Students can choose in from wide range of engineering fields and select one on the basis of their interest and caliber. There are more than 200 branches of engineering available to choose form, though course availability may vary from place to place.
Medicine
A doctor is a professional who practices medicine, and is concerned with promoting, maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments. Treating a patient with some common fever or an injured person are some basic roles of doctors which can get even complicated in the form of some complex surgeries related to heart, brain or whatever the problem be. There may be doctors who focus their practice on certain disease categories, types of patients, or methods of treatment – known as specialist medical practitioners – or assume responsibility for the provision of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families, and communities – known as general practitioners. Medical practice properly requires both a detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines (such as anatomy and physiology) underlying diseases and their treatment – the science of medicine – and also a decent competence in its applied practice – the art or craft of medicine.
The Medical Council of India (MCI) controls and monitors medical Education in India. New Colleges or Universities can grant MBBS, MS, MD or any Graduate or PG degree or diploma only if those colleges are strictly adhering to the standards set by the Medical Council of India. The MBBS course is of four and a half year's (54months) duration and is followed by one year of Compulsory Rotating Residential Internship. Getting admission into a medical school is not an easy thing, since number of medical seats in India is quite less. To get into a medical school the aspirant first need to opt for medical in his 11th standard with physics, chemistry and biology as major subjects. After 11th and 12th, candidate needs to go through various screening exams as a part of entrance test to secure a seat for MBBS course, which is a four and half year course with a compulsory 1 year rotational internship, wherein emphasis is laid on practical training.
Basic Differences:
Every year there are thousands of students who aspire to be doctors, but eventually end up study engineering as they think that crack the qualifying exam for entrance into med schools is quite difficult and also numbers of seats for medical students are quite limited. Then they set out to become engineers to prove that they can still do something. This choice is never entirely yours and is influenced by several other external factors that are quite important. These include your parents, the success of your elder siblings in a particular academic area, your teachers and, for some, even friends. Not to say that you should ignore them but the best bet is to listen to your inner-self and do some search on both these fields before deciding on one. Following are some considerations that are taken into mind while deciding between engineering and medicine:
Income:
It is believed that it is much easier for engineers to manage big salary packages as compared to doctors. Also it is a fact that though engineers mange a salary after 4 years of study, doctors still require nearly 8 years of study to get perfection and big pay scales. This is not something that is same in every case, pay packages of an engineer as well as doctor vary from person to person. Engineers can be found at many levels in the organization. You can see some of them running companies as CEOs and you may even see some engineers providing low paying technical support services. Hence, there is no certainty on income levels. On the other hand, people in medicine profession invariably earn decent income. Hence this all depends upon personal capability, though probability is quite high for engineers but even some surgeons with some great surgical experience do earn very high packages.
Ease of finding a job:
Job opportunity is something that students look out, before they enter into any professional course. Jobs in engineering sector are quite high but because of so much competition in engineering field, there is a shortage of jobs in comparison to the candidates. You won’t come across many doctors or nurses who said they were unemployed. The reason can be attributed to the fact that there is less number of medical professionals than the required amount. If you are the one who wants to land up in a job immediately after completion of your course, medicine is the right specialty for you. There is little doubt that engineering profession has too many opportunities; however, finding a desired job can be a tad difficult.
Challenges:
There can be several challenges associated with the medicine job. Though there are challenges in the other line also but medicine seems to be quite difficult. Many medicine students leave this field after first three months of study. The probable reasons can be allergy to smell in operation theater; unable dissect the frog; the sight of dead bodies haunts them and many more.
Leisure time:
While studying medical or even when you become a doctor, you tend to lose your social life and time for fun activities. Medicine is a branch that demands a lot. You cannot think of a picnic with your family if scheduled for an operation. Also they may be posted for emergency duties about which a physician can never complain. There is a lot of social responsibility also. If you are a kind of a person who prefers to work five days a week and wants to try lots of other things during the weekend, then you may opt for engineering.
