IS ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING EASY OR TOUGH?

INTRODUCTION:-

Engineering is one of the unique areas of expertise which needs the combination of technical knowledge and analytical ability. Electrical and Electronicsengineering is the diverse branch of engineering which deals with electrical systems like motors, electronic circuits, power supply, medical equipment and many more! In a single line, it is the study of electricity and its behavior. The branch is also concerned with the design and manufacturing of electrical devices. Some major subjects in Electrical and Electronics engineering are:-

●      Power Electronics

●      Analog circuits

●      Digital circuits

●      Electrical machines

●      Telecommunications

●      Instrumentation

●      Electromagnetic theory

●      Signal processing

●      Control systems

●      Alternating & Direct Currents

●      Microprocessors

●      Signals & systems

●      Network analysis

HOW TO BECOME AN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEER?

There is no doubt in the fact that this field has an enormous number of opportunities. Be it a job or research, there is limitless scope in it. But to become one, one needs commitment, dedication and hard work. The course of B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics engineering has tenure of four years. A candidate with 10+2 or 12^th standard or equivalent can appear from engineering entrance examinations like JEE Main & Advanced to try for admissions into prestigious colleges like IITs, NITs & IIITs. Apart from them, there are state government-funded colleges and good private institutions in India to study Electrical and Electronics engineering. Apart from IITs and NITs, some best colleges in our country to pursue this course are:-

●      Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences, Pilani

●      Jadavpur University, Kolkata

●      Amity University

●      Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore

●      Lovely Professional University, Punjab

●      Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology, New Delhi

●      National Institute of Technology, Mysore

●      Anna University, Chennai

Getting a Bachelor’s degree is not sufficient! It is always good to pursue an online certification course to enhance your skill and make your profile look better. Students should focus more on software related to Electrical and Electronics engineering like SCADA, Energy economics, Control systems, MATLAB, Electrical CADD, PLC, Internet of Things, Industrial networking etc.

WHAT IS THE TOUGHNESS OF THIS BRANCH?

Everything becomes tough when you are not interested and everything becomes so easy when you are passionate! Of course, Electrical and Electronics engineering is the toughest part as it is linked with other branches of engineering like Mechanical and Computer Sciences. But once you are done with the course, there is a wide range of opportunities in front of you. People say that this field requires in-depth knowledge and skill in Mathematics. But I would say, you initially won’t go for engineering when you are not good at Math! So, the toughness of anything depends on one’s perspective.

One of the reasons of students feeling this branch tougher is the lesser availability of sources of information and facts. Classroom knowledge is necessary but it alone can’t help you eventually. As I already mentioned above, courses need to be done on websites like Ekeeda, EdX, Coursera, Udacity etc. Also, an internship experience during your B.Tech will make you study the subject keenly.

Toughness is independent of the area of expertise and is purely dependent on your perception and attitude! If you have the thirst for learning and a willing heart, Electrical and Electronics becomes the easiest branch of engineering for you!
