INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS
Electronic devices has become an inevitable part of our life. Their applications range from simple home appliances to smart sensors used for biological/ medical purposes.The main focus of Industrial Electronics course is to acquaint the students with advanced industrial circuits and their applications. The course is designed to give insight in servicing and maintenance aspect of the Electronics equipment.We are currently living in an electronic era where machine robots are capable to do human work with more ease and high efficiency. Capsules and tablets contain wireless sensors that collect information from the body to diagnose. Transparent smartphones will exist in the coming days, we can see through them and they may lead to the use of windows or mirrors in our home to be used as PC screens and TV monitors. Sensors are placed on the plants to detect the shortage of water and alert the farmers.
CAREER PROSPECTS
Industrial engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment. They also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft. Apart from these, they will design and develop electronic equipment, such as broadcast and communications systems, from portable music players to global positioning systems (GPS). These engineers may advance to supervisory positions that require leading a team of engineers and technicians. Some may move to management positions, working as engineering or program managers. But this usually requires working under the guidance of a more experienced engineer.
They can also evaluate operational systems and recommend design modifications to eliminate causes of malfunctions or changes in system requirements. As a higher option they can also specialize in development of electronic principles and technology in fields, such as telecommunications, telemetry, aerospace guidance, missile propulsion control, counter-measures, acoustics, nucleonic instrumentation, industrial controls and measurements, high-frequency heating, computers, radiation detection, encephalography, electron optics, and biomedical research.
