Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Unlike electrical and computer engineers, computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.
Engineering is the application of mathematics, as well as scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, tools, systems, components, materials, processes, solutions, and organizations.
The discipline of engineering is extremely broad and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied science, technology and types of application.
The term Engineering is derived from the Latin ingenium, meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise". The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property.
Engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised fundamental inventions such as the wedge, lever, wheel and pulley. Each of these inventions is essentially consistent with the modern definition of engineering.
The term engineering is derived from the word engineer, which itself dates back to 1390 when an engine'er (literally, one who operates an engine) originally referred to "a constructor of military engines." In this context, now obsolete, an "engine" referred to a military machine, i.e., a mechanical contraption used in war (for example, a catapult). Notable examples of the obsolete usage which have survived to the present day are military engineering corps, e.g., the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The word "engine" itself is of even older origin, ultimately deriving from the Latin ingenium (c. 1250), meaning "innate quality, especially mental power, hence a clever invention."
Later, as the design of civilian structures such as bridges and buildings matured as a technical discipline, the term civil engineering entered the lexicon as a way to distinguish between those specializing in the construction of such non-military projects and those involved in the discipline of military engineering.

21. Market Watch
• The job market for electrical engineers is perennial. Even the vagaries
of the global economic crisis could not knock out the demand for these
professionals in the Indian job market.
• Engineering industry is expected to absorb maximum number of
engineers
• Technology is expected to change radically and advanced technologies
with aerospace, automotive, micro/nanoelectronics, MEMS, Sensor,
smart grid, renewable power sources are in high growth
23. Pay Packet
• Salaries differ based on the companies you get placed.
• Big International Companies like Texas Instruments offer
salaries in the range of Rs 60,000 – 120,000 per month.
• Indian companies offer salaries in the range of Rs 30,000
– 60,000 per month.
• If you get placed in US or Europe , salaries are in the
range of $2,500 – $4000 per month.
• Based on your talent and experience, salaries can vary.
24. Why focus on practical knowledge?
• There is a gap between engineering course content and the
requirements of the engineering services industry
• Engineering education system imparts knowledge on various
technical/non-technical areas, it often falls short of meeting the
expectations of the real world.
• One reason for this gap is a fundamental lacuna in the
engineering education framework. This is the only profession
where an individual goes from an academic programme
directly into a job, with no prior on-the-job training.
• “Getting fresh graduates ramped up quickly to productivity is
a key concern across the industry, graduates sometimes take
six months to a year to become productive.
• When fresh graduates enter the working environment, they
have lots of theoretical knowledge which is redundant, rather
than the necessary practical knowledge.”
25. What should you do?
• Pay attention to basics
• Strong foundation of the basics of engineering must
• Good knowledge of design engineering and tool sets
• Expertise in MATLAB and other software tools
• Languages, one must be familiar with C or C++.
• Other skills - domain knowledge of design, engineering,
testing and verification.
26. What should you do?
Get trained to have an extra edge
• Curriculum may not provide all the learning you need. Make an
effort to gain some extra skill, be it technical or interpersonal.
• Work on system-level design using off-the-shelf ICs
• The demand for electronics design engineers having product,
domain and software tools expertise is high.
• Actively look out for competitions that organisations/educational
institutes conduct. Such initiatives are excellent opportunities to
demonstrate creativity, secure mentoring opportunities from
industry experts and participate in exciting, competitive and
recognized events. Try engaging consistently with the
institute/university faculty to understand sponsorship and
scholarship opportunities offered by companies/ universities.
• Students must possess excellent problem-solving and decision-
making abilities, english communication skills, and organization and
management skills for an all-round perspective.
• Emphasises on ethical behavior as majority of the MNCs empower
their staff and would like them to showcase good ethics while dealing
internally or externally with vendors or customers.
•
27. What should you do?
• Exploit your internship
• Even if it is not compulsory in your course curriculum to do an
internship, do one anyway. In fact, try enrolling for more than one if
possible. Taking up a project or internship to build something is
essential, as there is plenty of learning for the student to imbibe,
whether the project succeeds or not.
• Colleges have included industry visits, seminars and projects for this
purpose. Unfortunately, many students treat these courses lightly. My
advice would be to take the internship seriously, for the soft skills they
impart will be invaluable.
• Keep in mind that “interning is about more than just showing up at an
office and earning a recommendation letter
• Grab every opportunity to chat with everyone from senior members to
fresh recruits. You’ll learn a lot about the industry, job and their
expectations. It may help to join the same company after completing
your course. In fact, interning is just like auditioning you try the
company to check whether it suits you.
28. What should you do?
Know the industry trend
• You need to be conversant with global trends and pioneering research
done worldwide. To acquaint himself with the challenges that will face him
in the future, the engineering student should re-examine and realign his
goals with the current scenario that prevails.
• Do on-the-job research. Students need to have some insights by either
working or doing some research on how the industry segment of their
choice actually operates.
• The electronics industry is very large today. There are multiple sub-
disciplines. Even some software disciplines require a sound knowledge of
electronics along with a strong grip on programming
• Becoming a member of a professional society and taking active part in
seminars and workshops will also help in understanding where the
electronics industry is headed.
• Use core journals and newsletters to keep track of trends and latest
developments in electronics engineering.
• Keeping abreast of the industry and economy may even help you to find an
extremely satisfying career outside the mainstream.
29. What should you do?
• Understand your aptitude
• Students should have the ability to assess the situation, identify key issues
that need to be addressed, break down complex problems into simpler
manageable problems and resolve the problem to develop workable
solutions.
• Companies are looking for people who can fix problems with minimal
direction. They don’t want to have to tell people to react when fires are
burning. So once you’ve understood your aptitude and carefully evaluated
the job market, you can make your leap.
• It is advised in your second or third or fourth year of engineering, the
students should begin to think of what industry they wish to join and start
digging into the relevant literature. If you are fortunate enough, you may
get to do an internship in the industry of your choice.
• once you figure out what is of your interest, work towards developing skills
required for that vertical.
• Finally, your future is in your hands. So don’t hesitate to spend enough time
exploring all the possible ways before final settlement.
