Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Electrical and Electronics Engineering is the process of designing, maintaining, and developing electrical control systems and equipment. Electrical and Electronics Engineers are responsible for building reliable system for domains transportation, telecommunications, power generation, signal transmission and distribution and scientific research keeping in mind the precision of their methodology. Electrical Engineers deal with the development of circuits and generating, distributing and using electrical energy. On the other hand, Electronics engineers deal with the behavior of the circuits and manipulate them so they can work automatically. Electrical/ Electronic Engineering are applicable in all industries. As the electronics sector is booming in India, the job opportunities for graduates are also increasing.

Electrical and Electronic Engineers are responsible for coining new ways to use electrical and electronic power to evolve or upgrade products, performing accurate estimates to promote construction, installation, standards, manufacturing and specifications, directing the assembling of electrical and electronic equipment, to guarantee that the stocks meet all the specializations and regulations, investigating grievances of customers or the public for the evaluation of problems and suggesting the relevant solutions, working with project managers and ensuring that the projects are completed thoroughly within the given time and budget.
