Why Choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering?
In today’s day and age, the technology of instrumentation has made it possible to have a plethora of instruments at home and at work. Since the instrumentation is the latest trend, it is imperative for today’s youth to become acquainted with the most recent innovations in the instrumentation sector.
Furthermore, with Instrumentation being one of the most sought-after branches in the industrial world, combining Electronics and Instrumentation as a career path would pay off nicely for students who choose the course.
This is a multi-disciplinary subject that includes chemical, electrical, electronics, mechanical, biomedical, and computer science topics. If someone wants to change disciplines after completing the course, this aids them in doing so.
Candidates with a degree in Electronics and Instrumentation engineering will find work in the electrical, mechanical, and electronics industries. Instrumentation engineers may also operate within or outside the industry owing to the multidisciplinary nature of the stream.
Electronics and Instrumentation engineering is a relatively young and under-represented engineering branch in India, as a result of which a selected few universities to offer this course.
At Vignan Institute of Technology and Science, we aim to offer solid foundations in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering and corresponding laboratory equipment in a stimulating academic setting.
What Do Instrumentation Engineers Do?
Instrumentation engineers study, plan, and build modern technologies and devices for controlling, monitoring, and administering industrial processes and operations.
An Instrumentation Engineer’s responsibility is to ensure that these systems and processes run smoothly, successfully, and safely. Additionally, in a plant, an instrumentation engineer’s broader knowledge base provides them with an advantage over mechanical or electrical engineers.
Instrumentation Engineers specialize in automation. Electronics and Instrumentation Engineers see more work openings as the automation trend is gaining traction in India and abroad.
These engineers find work in virtually every realm of the world, from Research & Development units to aerospace firms, medical companies, food factories, thermal power stations, fertilizer industries, automotive companies, biomedical companies, processing plants, and cement plants.
Instrumentation engineers have a variety of job profiles, and one may advance in his or her career by gaining expert knowledge of a specific business sector and/or instrumentation area.
Control and optimization is yet another crucial field in many industries, and Electronics and Instrumentation engineers with experience in these fields can be extremely useful in meeting the industries’ different pressing needs.
An Instrumentation Engineer is also responsible for the design, development, installation, management, and maintenance of equipment that is used to track and automate engineering systems, machinery, and processes.
At Vignan Institute of Technology and Science, we aim to establish active partnerships with Instrumentation engineering companies, reputable Research & Development institutions, and academics in order to better understand the challenges of solving real-world Electronics and Instrumentation engineering problems and provide the best examples to the students.
Job Prospects of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineers
Electronics and Instrumentation engineers have a promising future ahead of them because they are required in almost every industry in a variety of roles such as design, development, automation, monitoring, fabrication, inspection, quality control and maintenance. Instrumentation and control graduates may plan to work in positions such as:
- Instrument Engineer
- Automation Engineer
- Control Engineer
- Control Systems Technologist
