Career in Computer Engineering

Introduction

“I do not fear computers. I fear lack of them… “— Isaac Asimov, science fiction writer

Today, it is impossible for us to imagine the time when there were no computers. We are living in the times when laptops, net books, tablets, etc. are common knowledge even for a primary school child. Computer Science is being taught as a subject as early as in class 1 therefore looking at Computer Engineering comes quite naturally to a lot of students.

Computer Engineering encompasses studying subjects from both electrical engineering as well as computer science. The knowledge from these two branches is applied in making and development of computers and allied systems. There are two types of computer engineers – hardware engineers and software engineers. Hardware engineers build computers like workstations, laptops, PCs or tablets. They also develop systems, which are computer based like those in electronic equipment, communication networks and even complex navigational systems found in aircrafts and space satellites.

Then there are those who are trained as software engineers. They design the software program, the VLSI chips, analog sensors, circuit boards and other things required to operate the hardware system. Even the highly revered field of robotics, which includes research and design of motors and sensors falls under the purview of a computer engineer. Some of them write programs known as operating system that makes the computer work such as windows and Linux. Others write programs which are meant for specific purpose like creating a document, editing a photograph or designing a house. There are still others who design the communication and network interface between various computers. For all this, there are languages in which codes, that the machines can understand, are written.

With all the development that is happening in the world of computers, for a career in this field, one has to keep oneself knowledge abreast. There are a number of computer languages in which the programs can be written and still newer ones are being developed every day. It is just a matter of time that what is the latest today becomes obsolete. All in all it is not just a technical field, but also a one, that demands constant updating of knowledge.

Courses & Eligibility

Bachelor of Engineering (BE)/ Bachelor of Technology (BTech): The eligibility class 12th with physics, chemistry and maths as the main subjects and qualification in the Entrance Exam. The AMIE (Associate Memberships of the Institution of Engineers) offers courses, which are also equivalent to BE and B.Tech. Masters in Engineering (ME) or Masters in Technology M.Tech: Eligibility is BE, B Tech and qualification in the entrance exam also known as Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) exam. The marks scored in this exam are valid in most colleges.

For those who wish to study further, a Ph.D. in engineering can be pursued.

Course Fees

The 4 years course in Computer Engineering from an IIT will cost about Rs. 2 lakhs. There are a number of scholarships, fee waivers and loans available for those who are unable to fund the education. Apart from this, in most colleges the students can earn a small amount while working on a research project with the professors in their college and this can also help funding the course. The fee in other private colleges is more ranging from about 40,000 per year to about 70,000 per year.

Where to Study

In India, one is spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding on an engineering college with 36 universities and 1195 colleges offering both undergraduate and postgraduate course in computer engineering. Some of the top colleges offering the course are:

There are the Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), in Allahabad, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Gwalior which are also amongst the top engineering colleges in India.

Pay and Remuneration

For all the hard work that computer engineers put in for four years of their study, they are rewarded with highly paid jobs. The average salary for fresh graduates from good institutes is about Rs 4.5 lakhs-Rs 6 lakhs a year. To start with, the fresh graduates are employed as trainees or development engineers. They are then promoted to the level of design engineer, senior design engineer and then project leader. The salary ranges from Rs 20 lakhs-Rs 30 lakhs a year.

Career Prospects

The Prospects for Computer Engineering would remain quite robust in the coming years.All the new age information technology solutions would require computer engineering as the core discipline for its development, Computer Engineering is going to be one of the most sought after courses.

Famous Personalities

There are two names in the world of computers that are not unknown to anyone. Bill Gates has made an everlasting mark in this field with Windows and then Steve Jobs who gave birth to Apple. That Bill Gates is not an engineer does not undermine his contribution to this field. Tim Berners-Lee and his contribution to the World Wide Web, Alan Dix and his research in Human Computer Interface, Brendan Eich and Mozilla and Bill Joy of the Sun Microsystems are some other famous names from the world of computers.

Career as a Software Developer

Introduction

“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.”

— C.A.R. Hoare, British Computer Scientist & Winner of 1980 Turing Award

In other words, a good software designer or a developer should have lot of skill, devotion, and insight, inspiration to develop and to make a software work.

A software developer is a person who overlooks all the software development processes which includes researching, designing, developing and testing the software. They often work in teams with programmers, engineers, analysts to develop and install a software solution. They even write codes for those programs which they design, test and document. This happens at a much later stage when a developer can write professional quality codes hence mentoring under some good team is usually the way to begin.

Software developers often write and develop software applications for desktops, servers as well as develop and code applications for devices like Tablet Computers, Phablets and Smartphones. Some of the skills which a software engineer should possess are Ability to analyze and to understand the customer needs and then design, construct and maintain the application accordingly, Communication skills to be get and to provide information to the client, conceptual knowledge of networking and Operating systems. Writing secure codes is a very important part of any software development. Secure coding helps protect software from theft or corruption hence a good knowledge of security and encryption is required. He should have an expert knowledge of computer languages like C/C++, C#, Java, HTML, Visual Basic, computer program design methods and techniques and should have the ability to learn new programming languages quickly. He should keep himself updated and adapted with the new technologies which keep emerging and know its impact on the current systems.

Courses and Eligibility

To become a software developer many courses are available beginning at the Diploma level and going up to Masters level. Some of these include:

  • Bachelor in Computer Applications (BCA).
  • Bachelor in Science with Computers (B.Sc).
