BTech Electrical engineering: Scope and career opportunities

Electrical engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the analysis and application of electrical energy generation, transmission, distribution, and use for the benefit of humanity. Other sectors may fall down due to some reason but now a day’s electricity is our basic need and now a day’s new research, technologies advancements give rise to the scope of the electrical department. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators. Electrical Engineering is one of the largest and most diverse technological and engineering disciplines in today’s world. Electrical Engineering, the discipline that employs the largest number of engineers, covers everything related to electrical devices, systems, and the use of electricity. A common theme is the use of electricity and electromagnetism for the generation, transmission, processing, storage, conversion, and control of information and energy. Electrical Engineers are needed in all manufacturing units and all major companies of the public and private sectors. Electricity boards, large scale industries, manufacturing plants, power corporations, hydroelectricity sector are continuously in need of Electrical Engineers for their projects.

Electrical Engineers also find job prospects in design industries, production plants, natural gas plants, petroleum as well as in steel and chemical plants. Many premier educational and research institutions regularly intake electrical engineers as graduate engineer trainees and management trainees to work on research projects.

Career scope of BTech in Electrical Engineering

Department society: Electro Infinity Club

The main objective of this club is to improve the technical knowledge of students and also providing them an exposure to the technical world by involving them in various technical fests, seminars and workshops. Most of the activities are organised and managed by students of electrical engineering of the electro infinity club. The motive of this club is to create awareness about the latest updates in the field of electrical engineering and to encourage those students who have shown excellence in academics. It will promote public awareness of the long-reaching effects of engineering and to enhance the personality of every individual. The number of activities will be organized like workshops, industrial visits, expert lectures, circuit designing and quiz competitions to promote the society at state as well as national level.

Why prefer Electrical Engineering in BFCET?

• Excellent Academic Results: Students of BTech Electrical (all semesters) always outshine in the university results by securing a high percentage of marks in academics. In the recent results declared by the university students got good ranks in the university result. In 2020 Jan-June more than 15 students got more than 85% marks.

• Internship Opportunities: As per the curriculum students should undergo Practical Training in the form of an Internship in two semesters – one after the fourth semester and the other after the sixth semester. The past students have got opportunities to attend the two weeks online internship program on electrical vehicles technologies conducted by EV Retron Energies and more than 20 students attended this internship programme.

• Practical Exposure: In each semester the students will be given few topics related to the latest technologies and environment-related issues to analyze and make reports as a part of their Project Works. Students of Electrical Engineering are currently working actively on various research projects namely “E-Bicycle” and “Automatic Watering system using Arduino UNO”. 
• 100% Placement Assistance: Students are provided with 100% placement assistance throughout the programme. A dedicated team of Training & Placement provides rigorous training to the students to make them placeable and to bring the placement opportunities for them to ensure the 100% placements.
