In this hitech age, computer application in Civil Engineering is another opportunity. Potential for gainful employment in Government, Public and Private Sectors for Civil Engineering graduates is therefore very bright in the coming years. Opportunity for self employment in construction business for Civil Engineers is plenty, with the ever increasing needs of Housing, Roads, water supply etc. in view of growth of population and the consequent needs. Opportunities for overseas employment in Western, Middle East and other Countries are also plenty. Mechnical Engineering Mechanical Engineering covers a wide range of fields of Engineering. Initially started with Design of Machines and Equipment, Energy Generation and Conversion, Materials Technology, Manufacturing, Maintenance of Mechanical Systems it has broadened its scope to Transportation, Vehicles, Environment Control, Space Technology, Automation, Fluidics, Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer aided design and Computer Integrated manufacturing etc. It also includes Production and Industrial Engineering and inter-disciplinary areas such as Biomedical Engineering and Industrial marketing thereby widening the scope further for employment in Government, Public and Private Sectors. 11
The technical manpower demand in this hitech age has opened up greater employment prospects for Mechanical Engineers in the areas of Computer applications, Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/ CAM), Total Quality Management etc. Self employment, Entrepreneurship, Management and Executive jobs, Management Consultancy, are other opportunities available. Electrical And Electronics Engineering Electrical Engineering concerns broadly with Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution, Power System Protection Testing and Control, Electrical Machines, Instruments, Power Electronics etc. Special subjects included in this course such as Electron Devices, Circuits, Digital Electronics, Communication Engineering, Computers, Microprocessors, Computer Languages, Artificial Intelligence are added advantages to the graduates. The employment prospects for Electrical and Electronics Engineers are very bright in the basic infrastructural areas such as Design and Manufacture; operation and maintenance of Electrical machinery, Power and Utility Sector technical activities, Industrial and Building Complex services such as elevators, airconditioners etc., Electronics equipment manufacture, Computer hardware and software and communication engineering. The demand for Electrical and Electronics Engineers in these areas, particularly power, communication and building service industries is increasing greatly all over the world. Computer Science & Engineering Computer Science & Engineering covers both Hardware and Software aspects of Computers, including certain basic fundamental areas of Electrical, Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Graduates in Computer Science & Engineering have a wide scope of employment both in Computer Software and Hardware Industries, inside and outside the country. 12
Electronics And Communication Engineering Electronics and Communication Engineering covers Telecommunication, Radio and Satellite Communication coupled with Computers, Microwaves, Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence. The phenomenal development of Telecommunication and Information services like Telephone, Fax Internet, Cellular Phones, T.V., Radio and the manufacture and marketing of related equipment in this field worldwide demands a large number of Electronics and Communication Engineers, opening up great opportunity to these graduates. Every Factory, Office, Institution and Home is increasingly oriented electronically, combined with gadgets of information technology and hence the need for Electronics and Communication engineers will be phenomenal in the years to come. Instrumentation And Control Engineering Instrumentation and Control Engineering, an interdisciplinary area provides a wide exposure in all the fields of engineering like Electrical, Mechanical, Computer and even Medical related fields and prepares an overall total engineer to shoulder key positions in vital industries and systems in the nation and abroad. With the advent of new processes and increased automation in Industry in the Hi-tech age, the precise measurement, Control and Instrumentation in all the fields of engineering have become increasingly important. The state of the art instrumentation including Computerised control is in use in almost all the process industries like Iron and Steel, Petrochemical, Paper, Pharmaceutical, Fertilizer. Coming decades would see further development in the dynamic technology of Instrumentation and Control that would extend also to a large number of medium and small industries, increasing the need for trained personnel to design, manufacture, operate, maintain and service instrument and control systems that form a vital part of any country s industrial growth.the liberalisation/privatisation and globalisation policy of India opens up greater and further opportunities for employment all over the nation and the world especially in Middle East. The opportunity for self-employment through small scale industries in instrumentation is plenty in this field. Since Instrumentation and Control has close relations with Computer, Communication, Electronics and Electrical areas, employment in such related fields is also very high. 13
Polymer Technology Polymer Technology course is another interdisciplinary course and covers a wide range of subjects. The use of polymeric materials in commodity and engineering application is ever increasing with the advent of new generation plastics, elastomers and fibres. These light weight and cost effective materials in fact, have replaced already many conventional expensive materials such as metal, wood, ceramics, etc. The ever increasing demand of polymeric materials at the lower cost requires advanced technology with modern equipment to cope with the heavy world-wide competition. With this in view the polymer technology course is designed in such a fashion that it imparts knowledge in both theoretical and practical aspects, of designing a polymer product by selecting proper materials, process and equipment. This course is an amalgamation of material science and mechanical engineering with process principles drawn from chemical engineering. The basic knowledge of other engineering fields like electrical and electronics and instrumentation and control, required for successful designing of process equipment to get effective and economically feasible products are included in the course. The polymer technologists are considered to be specialists in a wide areas such as material science, equipment and mould design, processing and engineering application of polymers. The future of a polymer technologist is bright with employment opportunity in design of mould and dies using CAD/CAM, as a process engineer in the factory shop floor, as a material specialist, as a vendor development engineer, as a scientist in research and development organisation and so on. In India the arrival of multinationals has opened greater scope and better opportunity for the polymer technologist to be an expert in this field in this area of plastics. Scope for becoming an entrepreneur and small scale industrialist in the polymer area is very high to be supportive to these industries of national and international origin. Information Technology Information Technology is concerned with the generation, storage, dissemination, distribution, analysis and use of information. 14
The allied areas of Computer Science and Communication Engineering provide concepts in fundamentals of computers, operating systems and communication networks. The course is centered around the most heavily used Internet. The students are expected to be capable of starting dot.com companies, take all information related responsiblilities of large corporations as Information Officers initially, as Chief Information Officer at middle level and eventually Chief Executive Officer or Chairman. The students are exposed to finance, management, multimedia, data bases and other supporting disciplines as well, to prepare them for senior management positions in industry and government.
