Best branches for pursuing engineering – Why CSE is not the only option?

With numerous fields of technology evolving steadily and at a great pace, including sectors like Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Internet of Things, 5G, Aerospace, Automotive Technology, and Cybersecurity, the career prospects and opportunities for Engineering aspirants have grown manifold. A branch of education as vast as any, Engineering is, contrary to popular belief, not just revolving around Computer Science Engineering. This
stands true for the career options also that are associated with different types of engineering degrees.

Universities that offer engineering admissions in India are thriving by the day, in spite of which the struggle to choose the one best suited to a student is still very real. To aid students in opting for the right career path, the first step is to figure out the field they are most passionate about. Choosing an engineering college with the right education system to support your growth with a fully-functional research wing is crucial too. The next essential
guiding factor is to identify international and local career opportunities for the selected speciality.

With the world around us fast approaching the adaptation of the New World Order, the human race is exceedingly becoming heavily technology-dependent. All new fields of engineering are devoted to a problem-solving approach that will end up benefitting our future use. Be it 5G communication technology on the verge of offering high data transmission speeds to complex robotics technology to takeover repetitive human jobs and increase human efficiency; all industries are relying on technology more than ever. With recording the active COVID-19 cases to instant digital money transactions, the adaptation of technology is becoming unstoppable every single day.

How will this affect employment opportunities for us in the future? Experts suggest that it will only have a positive impact and instead of cutting down jobs, it will end up in the upskilling of labour. This will give humans a chance to skip mundane tasks and effectively focus their time on improving and gaining skills. Whether it be healthcare or education, technology is already propelling humans to learn new things and pick up new skills at every turn.

In this progressing ecosystem, how will technology impact the future? Essential skillsets and data will act as the key beacons to guide humankind to progress. Hence, the value of data and its security will become more important with time too. With a wider bandwidth to conduct better communication, the transmission of maximum data using the lowest possible bandwidth will soon become a reality. 

With public systems depending on technologies like drone monitoring for police and traffic management, dynamic health updates by implementing smart devices and IoT, virtual reality in education etc. are current technologies that have an enhanced scope in the future. Owing to the support of advanced and latest engineering skills, the future is sure to bring with it a wide array of career options for engineers.

When discussing engineering courses at Amrita University – ranked with the highest rating of 'A' by NAAC and accredited 4th best university in India by the NIRF – the choices to become an engineer are many and carefully selected.
