- Introduction
Computer Engineering is one of the fastest growing fields in India which have growth opportunities for talented people. It consists of two streams of engineering one is software engineering and the other is hardware engineering. Computer Engineering involves designing, testing, development of the components. It combines the principles and techniques of computer science and electrics to build computer based systems. Computer Engineers work in a team and apply their knowledge of science and mathematics for the development and design of a computer. This field gives lots of job opportunities to the people who have good knowledge of computing and has the knowledge to apply the principles in the right direction.
Performance and growth of industry in India
Computer engineers are in high demand due to growth in telecommunication sector. India is rapidly growing in this domain and this domain is having one of the highest salary offers from the companies. It contributes around 5.19% in the GDP. 2.5 million people are already employed in this sector. IT-BPO sector has garnered $54.33 billion in 2010-11 which is more in comparison to China with $35.76 billion and Philippines with $8.85 billion. It is expected to grow more as the business and people taking up this subject is increasing rapidly. India is coming out to be a growing IT sector which is having main IT-hubs in Bangalore and Hyderabad.
Options and Opportunities
Computer engineering provides a lot of career opportunities to Computer engineers in the field of software as well as hardware. Engineers in this field can opt for programming, development, analysis, system study, design and other areas. Due to the increase in the use of the technology computer engineers are in huge demand. Nowadays high tech companies are hiring computer engineers with good communication skills and technical skills in this field. The engineers in this field can also look for job opportunities in private and public industries, government departments, business organizations, manufacturing sector, commercial organizations.
