Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Electricity is the fundamental need of modern civilization. We primarily depend on electricity

to fuel everything from transportation and communication to security and health delivery
systems. In fact, human body is operated and controlled by electrical energy called bio-
electricity. An agricultural expert has stated that, even for 1 calorie of food produced in the
industrial world, many calories of electrical energy is required in manufacturing fertilizers
and pesticides, packaging, transportation, and irrigation system. This illustrates the
importance of Electrical energy in our life.
On the other hand, we are also dependent on electronics for our healthy and comfortable life.
Electronics plays a major role in improving productivity in industries like oil, energy,
agriculture and so many other important sectors of economy. In steel, petroleum and
chemical industries it is the electronic devices that direct, control and test production
processes. Health care industry depends on electronic instruments to perform chemical tests
and to check body functions, etc. The safety in transportation, factories and mines and in
homes, rely heavily on electronics. Apart from that, mobile phones, computers, TVs, remote
controls of different devices, music players, etc., also have utmost importance in our
everyday life.
The branch of engineering that deals with both Electricity and the science of controlling it
i.e. Electronics, is Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE). In this branch, students
study different aspects of Electricity and Electronics along with their numerous applications.

Scope:

The EEE branch is the amalgamation of both Electrical Engineering and Electronics
Engineering. In EEE, students study most of the theory and practicals courses (Annexure 1)
of Electrical Engineering as well as Electronics Engineering branches. Hence, they acquire
ample knowledge of both the branches which provide them opportunity to go into any field
related to Electrical as well as Electronics Engineering.
This branch offers exciting job opportunities across the world in the rapidly evolving fields of
renewable energy, information and communication technology and the latest advances in the
more traditional areas of power, control, and electromagnetism. This branch of engineering
covers traditional areas likes generation, distribution and transmission of electricity as well as
new age applications in electronics ranging from telecommunications to computers and micro
processors. The course is closely linked with computation and neural systems, applied
physics, computer science and applied dynamic systems. Developing a career in Electrical
and Electronics Engineering is challenging as well as rewarding both in India as well as in
other developed countries across the world.

Opportunities:

Electrical & Electronics Engineering is always evergreen in terms of scope and job Prospects.
Electrical & Electronics engineers are required in most of industries such as manufacturing,
household and office appliances for example, refrigerators, computer, microwave ovens,
television, fans, motors, consumer durables, etc.
EEE graduates can take up teaching job or work on research projects in premier Educational
and Research Institutions.
They also find job prospects in IT sector, Design Industries, Production plants, Natural gas
plants, Petroleum, Steel and chemical plants etc.
Top recruiters:
Some of the biggest employer of Electrical and Electronics Engineers are: BHEL, NTPC,
DMRC, NHPC, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), Oil and Natural Gas
Corporation (ONGC), State electricity boards, Centre for Electronics Design and
Technology, ABB, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), Coal India Limited (CIL),
Crompton greaves, Wipro Lighting, Bajaj International Private Ltd, Siemens, Hitachi, Jindal
steel and power, reliance, I & T, TATA, Samsung engineering, etc.
Remuneration: Fresh engineering graduates can get anywhere between Rs. 15,000/- to Rs.
40,000/- per month. After some experience in relevant fields they will start earning handsome
salary. The average salary of Electrical and Electronics Engineer in India is around Rs.
35000/- per month.

Highlights:

Knowledge of Electrical Engineering as well as Electronics Engineering.

Expanded sector for job, research and higher study.
Job opportunity throughout the world.
Less competition due to more options of employment.
Upcoming large number vacancies in renewable energy sector.
Handsome salary.
