4. Electrical and Electronics
Engineering is one of the core
branches of Engineering which
started as Electrical Engineering
and has wide applications of
Electronics in controlling and
protecting the electrical
equipment's and systems.

5.  Contemporary electrical engineering is a
broad discipline that encompasses different
types of equipment's and systems for
 Generation,
 Transmission,
 Distribution
 And utilization of electrical energy,
 Electronic devices and circuits are involved in
 Measurement (instrumentation),
 Control and protection of electrical
Equipments and conversion systems.

6.  Electrical and electronics engineers are
involved in a wide variety of technology
ranging from huge global positioning
systems (which can pinpoint the location of
a moving vehicle to gigantic electrical power
generators).
 To the Tracking of the Power Generator
system for its efficiency, And Load
Distribution Pattern.

7.  Electrical Engineers have to combines creative
initiative, invention, practicality, and technology to
turn ideas into the tangible.
 There is tremendous employment opportunities for
EEE graduates.
 Electrical & Electronics Engineers have
multiple career opportunities and huge growth
potential.
 These industries include Electricity Boards/
Utility companies and large industries as engineers and
managers responsible for installation, maintenance,
operation of power handling equipments and systems,
design, production and testing.

9.  BHEL,
 NTPC,
 CPRI,
 BEML,
 GAIL,
 BSNL,
 MTNL,

11.  As per Central Electricity Authority monthly review
reports,
 India has ambitious plans of adding over 180,000 MW
of generation capacity as well as associated power
systems in the 11th (2007-2012) and 12th (2012-2017)
plans and it amounts to more than the cumulative
capacity addition achieved till date.
 Over 5 lakh technical manpower need to be inducted
into the power sector during these 11th and 12th plan
periods.
 Thousands of highly skilled engineers and managers
will be required in areas such as project planning,
designing, monitoring. At 8% growth rate, India would
need an installed capacity of 220 GW by 2012 and 306
GW by 2017 (Report of Expert Committee Integrated
Energy Policy, August 2006).

12.  Increased focus on energy efficiency
and renewable energy shall provide an
opportunity to productively engage millions of
people in harnessing small hydro, biomass &
biofuels, solar and wind resources.
 Our country is poised to build more power
generation capacity as well as supporting
systems in the next 10 years as compared to the
previous 60 years.
 This necessitates induction of significant
specialized manpower in this sector.
 There is also a huge demand for Electrical &
Electronics Engineers in the large number of
electronics companies and Telecom service
providers.

13.  Growth in this career area is thus projected to be
good, based on the fact that there is ongoing
expansion in the communications industry, defense-
related electronics, and in the ever-popular arena of
consumer electronics.
 Heavy investment by manufacturers is devoted to
research and development projects in order to stay
on top of a highly competitive field with heavy
demand for products.
 Specially In:-
1. Dc Power transmission
2. Super Conductors.
3. (WPT) Wireless power transmission.
4. Electric vehicles.

14.  How many things in your daily life use power
– Either mains power supply, batteries,
petrol, motors or even solar power?
 There was an Electrical Engineer behind the
creation of every one of those items!
 Electrical and Electronic Engineering involves
the generation, storage and use of power.

15.  EEE is a very important part of our everyday life.
 EEE can involve Handling large amounts of power
 (ex: power and control engineering). power
stations and electric vehicles.
 Or Handling small power devices like:- (ex:-
computer, communications and information
Systems, MP3 players and cell phones).

16.  Electrical and Electronic engineers are involved
in the analysis of existing Systems, Creating &
Designing new products & systems for
manufacturing Industries.
 But there is more to Electrical engineering than
just that.
 Many advances in biomedicine were pioneered
by electrical engineers, many software houses
such as Microsoft employ electrical engineers
and so do aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing
and Airbus.
 Most astronomical observatories employ
Electrical engineers to design their telescopes,
other optical instruments and do advanced signal
processing.

17.  There is a current trend for engineering
employers not to invest in training to bridge
the gap between the skills acquired through
post-secondary training and the additional
skills required on the job. There has been a
decline in the number of entry-level
positions that provide opportunities for
recent graduates to gain experience and
additional skills. As a result, many recent
graduates are underemployed. A decline in
training also results in skills shortages in the
industry.

18.  Self-employment may be a less popular
option for electrical and electronic engineers
because the reputation of a consulting
engineering firm is still sought out by
potential clients. Since firms increasingly
obtain electronic engineering expertise from
consulting and service companies, most
employment growth for these professionals
will be in these non-manufacturing firms.

19.  Opportunities for larger electronic and
electrical engineering companies to work on
international contracts are more likely
available in the aerospace, oil, and high
voltage power system industries. Engineers
who would like to work in international
consulting must have a good professional
reputation and be able to adapt to different
cultures. Consulting firms also recruit
consultants who have experience in project
management and are capable of leading a
project team.

20.  Rapid advances in technology will continue to make
it necessary for engineers in this occupational group
to keep up-to-date with new developments in their
areas of specialty. The alternative and renewable
energy resources sector will have an impact on the
traditional electronic and electrical engineering
occupation. As an example, new technologies, such
as wind, geothermal, solar, tidal, biomass and other
non-traditional resources are becoming increasingly
available. These new technologies will likely have
an impact on how this occupation will evolve in the
coming year, and could result in some demand
outside of urban centres.

25. All-electric vehicles (EVs) run on
electricity only.
They are propelled by an electric
motor (or motors) powered by
rechargeable battery packs.
EVs have several advantages over
vehicles with internal combustion
engines (ICEs):

26.  Energy efficient. Electric vehicles convert about 59–
62% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at
the wheels—conventional gasoline vehicles only
convert about 17–21% of the energy stored in gasoline
to power at the wheels.*
 Environmentally friendly. EVs emit no tailpipe
pollutants, although the power plant producing the
electricity may emit them. Electricity from nuclear-,
hydro-, solar-, or wind-powered plants causes no air
pollutants.
 Performance benefits. Electric motors provide quiet,
smooth operation and stronger acceleration and
require less maintenance than ICEs.
 Reduce energy dependence. Electricity is a domestic
energy source.

27.  Driving range. Most EVs can only go about 100–
200 miles before recharging—gasoline vehicles
can go over 300 miles before refueling.
 Recharge time. Fully recharging the battery
pack can take 4 to 8 hours. Even a "quick charge"
to 80% capacity can take 30 min.
 Battery cost: The large battery packs are
expensive and may need to be replaced one or
more times.
 Bulk & weight: Battery packs are heavy and take
up considerable vehicle space.
 Battery De-grading over usage & time.

28.  However, researchers are working on
improved battery technologies to increase
driving range and decrease recharging time,
weight, and cost.
 Efficient use of Batery Power.
 Low power high torque Motors.
 Dynamic use of power.
 Regenerating power.
 These factors will ultimately determine the
future of EVs.

35.  We are in a transition period between one
era to another in which the old rules do not
apply and the new ones have yet to be
invented.
 To reinforce the imagery, I described the
trapeze artist who must let go of one bar
before catching the other and for a moment
is suspended.
 For many, this described their uncomfortable
uncertainty with this future economy that is
evolving.
