Q: What are the opportunities in industry for holders of a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree in Electronics and Telecommunications (E&TC) Engineering or Electronics (EC) Engineering?

Q: I am an undergraduate neuroscience major and I recently became interested in engineering.

I think that I have the science skills necessary to go into the field, but I wonder if it is possible to pursue engineering after graduation or if it is much too late to begin graduate school study.

I completed pre-med courses, but realized that medicine is not for me and that I like the creativity that the field of engineering offers.

Q: I am a mechanical engineering student toward the B. Tech. (Bachelor of Technology) degree, writing from Rajasthan State, India. My university is in the “Deemed University” category. It is recognized by UGC but not approved by AICTE. My grade point average is 75.

Upon graduation and further studies, I am interested in becoming a Lecturer in a reputable state university such as Mumbai University (Diploma as well as Degree College). Is this a realistic plan?

Q: I'm a high school student who is reasonably good in math, but it is not my favorite subject — is engineering still for me?

Engineering is more than just math! It is finding new and better ways to do things; it is using science/logic/reasoning to answer and solve problems. Math was not my favorite subject in school either but, it was something I could do. Learning to apply the math tools that you learn is what makes math more interesting.

Most engineers do not do extensive mathematical work themselves; when they need to solve serious mathematical problems they often work together with professional mathematicians and statisticians. I know of very few engineers who actually apply college mathematics directly in their daily routine (though there are some, mostly in research and development positions). The reason that engineers learn mathematics is primarily so that they can understand models of systems and environments which use mathematical notation (for example, how a building reacts to an earthquake of certain magnitude). Another reason for mathematics in the engineering curriculum is for engineers to be able to speak to professional mathematicians when they need their help. However if math is not your cup of tea you will still find plenty of design and implementation challenges that use your creativity and imagination without relying too much on formal math.
