Career options
Electrical and Electronics engineers work in a variety of fields including power sector (generation, transmission, and distribution), machine design, renewable energy sector, biomedical engineering, aerospace industry, communications industry and IT. B.Tech (EE) is one of the best undergraduate degrees as it prepares you for almost any profession and doesn't close any doors. These industries are eager to employ skilled engineers at substantial salaries.
An electrical & electronics engineer may research, design, test and develop:
- Renewable energy solutions
- Hybrid vehicle power
- Data acquisition systems
- Control systems for unmanned aerial vehicle
- Electronic devices for air plane cockpits
| - Reliable and safepower grids
- Robotic systems

Career Path
Electrical Engineers apply electronic and electromagnetic/optical design principles to design, build, and test analog or digital devices, circuits, and systems - for processing, communication, and storage of information; distribution, conversion, and storage of energy; and process automation or robotics. Application areas include communication, manufacturing, power and energy, health care, computing, security, entertainment, and many others. By their choice of elective courses, students specialize in the following broad domains:
- Communication systems, control systems, power generation, transmission and distribution
- Digital hardware, software, and the computer as a component
- Electronic, radio-frequency, or optical devices, circuits and fabrication
- Electrical Machines, Electric Drives, Power Electronics
Based on their choice of elective courses, it is common to find electrical and electronics engineers working in: biomedical engineering, computer hardware, the aerospace industry, computer software, nano-electronic chips, photonics, nano-engineering, robotics, and solar energy harvesting & distribution.
