Scope of Electronics and Communication Engineering

 Electronics is now a part of our lifestyle , from the mobile phones to televisions, computers and even the high-end advanced satellites that are helping us to steer a smooth life. Ever since the evolution of technology, Electronics and Communication has become an important discipline which is required by all the industries. 

Hence, Electronics and Communication engineering is one among the foremost wanted branches by students. ECE is also used in very vast field like signal processing, remote sensing & health care. A no. of industries required ECE students

So students pursuing electronics and communication engineering have tons of scope in varied industries. Taking the tutorial scope and career choices into consideration, here are the favored areas of study within the field of Electronics and Communication.

1. Internet of Things: IoT is creating an environment of unification within the society. Today, IoT is being implemented everywhere which is of human concern like smart city, security, smart agriculture and residential automation.

This has created tons of buzz among industries and immediately all the businesses are trying to find candidates who has practical experience in IoT.

2. Robotics: once we hear the term Robot, very first thing that involves our mind is Automation. Similarly, a lot of typical task can be done with robots without using human being. Now, most of the businesses are turning their focus towards robots instead of humans to perform specific jobs just to scale back their expenses and to extend productivity.

3. Mechatronics: Mechatronics is that the field of study integrating mechanical and electronics principles onto one device. Industry 4.0 is already here and it's transforming the way companies are automating their business process.

4. Embedded System: because the name suggests, Embedded means something which is attached to a different thing. It are often thought of as hardware having software embedded/attached into it. An embedded system are often an independent system or it are often a neighborhood of an outsized system. An embedded system may be a microcontroller or microprocessor based system which is meant to perform a selected task.

5. Digital Image Processing: A no. of technique are required to process the digital image known as digital image processing. Recently introduced face detection unlock in smartphones today uses image processing algorithms to detect a picture and perform specific tasks. This field has many opportunities within the future.

How is that the career outlook for ECE students?

ECE students can develop an exciting career in industries like consumer electronics manufacturing organization, Telecommunication & IT industries, Health care equipment manufacturing, Mobile communication (2G,3G,4G), Internet technologies, Power Electronics, and other industries like steel, petroleum and industry etc.

A no. of scopes like telecommunication & IT industries, Mobile communication , consumer electronics , power electronics system.

Graduates in Electronics Engineering even have many opportunities in Government and personal companies within the areas of design, manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance of electronics equipment and systems.

With the arrival of latest technological innovations, new opportunities came into existence for electronics & communication engineers. the newest technologies include self-driving cars, autonomous drone logistics, robotics, automation in industries, smart energy systems etc.

But getting familiar with these industries won't be easy as they demand engineers who are more hands-on with the newest technologies.
