What is the Scope of Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering is one of the vital branches of Engineering & can be considered as the mother branch. Most of the engineering branches have emerged as specialization from Electrical Engineering.

This engineering branch's central part is related to the basic principles and detailed analysis of various apparatuses and systems for electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization. The stream also covers the study of many electronic devices and circuits involved in measuring, instrumentation, protection, and control of electrical equipment and their conversion systems. Concept of computer and recent applications of computer-based systems in design, maintaining quality and security, analysis and efficient operation of power system, also included in this course. During the B.Tech, electrical engineers develop analytical skills and reasoning power, computer knowledge, and programming skills. This assists them in acquiring employment also as software professionals. With little extra input, an electrical graduate can easily find a place in any area of Information & futuristic Technology. The Electrical Engineering stream graduates are mainly employed in various Electricity Boards or Utility companies and large and small scale production industries as engineers and technical managers. They are responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of power handling apparatus and systems. Sectors manufacturing large electrical machines and equipment employ electrical engineers for design, production, quality assurance, and testing. An electrical engineer has a broad range of activities and thus has a lot of options.

A career in electrical engineering encompasses the following fields:-

  • Electric Power Stations

  • Wiring and lighting of houses

  • Designing household appliances

  • Electrically-controlled industrial machinery

  • Design Software &Robotics

  • Electrical Vehicle & its Design

  • Industrial process control

  • SCADA & Automation Systems

  • Solar & Wind System Installation

Many Electrical Engineering graduates can find a good scope in food, pulp and paper, chemical, automobile industries, and aircraft. Educational Institutions and Research establishments center recruit electrical engineers as scientists and faculty. A core electrical engineer also finds its career scope in the new futuristic technologies in the sense of Artificial Intelligences (AI), Machine learning (ML), Data Science (DS), Arduino UNO (Microcontroller board), Raspberry PI, Internet of things (IoT) in the emerging field of Electric Vehicles (EV), etc. Therefore, the electrical engineering field's scope is very bright and can be considered one of the best engineering branches.
