M.Tech Specializations in Electronics
In India, there is a belief that electronics and communication is the best branch in B.Tech. While this is true, other branches too have the same or equal chances of getting jobs as well as higher education prospects. There are wide range of opportunities available for an electronics graduate, after completing the engineering. With the tremendous growth of communication systems and technologies in recent times, there are large number of M.Tech specializations offered by premier institutions in India. The technological development has also lead to create more job opportunities for electronics graduates. VLSI is the one of the most preferred specialization by electronics and communication graduates. With the growth of mobile consumer electronic market, scope is high for getting a good profile job in the industry. If you wish to pursue a teaching career after M.Tech in any branch of electronics, VLSI is also a good option. Later in teaching profession, it is possible to select a topic and do a research.Chip design is one of the hot areas where the VLSI people can get a job. With the growth of wireless networks, telecommunication, networking, etc., choosing a focused area for research or for a job is not that complicated. Consumer electronics have become a necessity of life and is the part of everyday life.
VLSI System Design: The technological developments in the VLSI sector has lead to develop highly reliable data delivery in very less time. Application specific integrated circuits are also being designed and developed with the help of the advanced technology. After M.Tech, students get placed in the core electronic companies like Sasken, Intel, IBM, Philips, etc. who have a good share in the consumer electronics segment.
Advanced Communication System: There are many scopes students of ECE in M.Tech can get work with fields like embedded systems, the telecom industry, and microprocessor manufacturers like Intel. The DRDO, VSSC and BHEL are some organizations that take in students of Electronics and Communication for research and academic jobs.
Communication & IT: Electronics is closely related with information technology and computer engineering. This specialization gives equal importance for information technology as well as electronics. It is basically the integration of both these disciplines. The focus of this area is on the information and communication technology where there is a requirement of products that can be used to educate a layman. E-leaning technologies, products like tablets or interactive electronic kiosks where anyone can communicate without having a basic knowledge on both these areas. This also involves computer network management, telecommunication software, etc.
Embedded Systems: For any consumer electronic device to work intelligently, it requires a part where a decision can be taken based on certain conditions. In the case of an air conditioner, there is some mechanism to sense the room temperature and power off / shut down the air conditioner in case if the room temperature goes less than what is set. Some kind of programming knowledge is an advantage for those who wish to build the career in embedded systems.
Robotics: Needless to state, robots are now present in most of the areas like health care, military, automotive industry, etc. An electronics engineer having a mindset to be part of robotics can choose M.Tech Robotics to flourish the career. There are lot of ongoing research and good opportunities are available in the industry as well as in the academia. Being an interdisciplinary specialization, it requires a fair knowledge of information technology and electrical engineering. Artificial Intelligence plays a vital role in building of robots.
Signal processing: One of the important and hot areas of the current era. Everywhere around us, there is at least one signal being processed – mobile communication. The role is to interpret the signals in a device and deliver the information to the user. Mobile and wireless communication becoming popular and used widely all over the universe, signal processing has a good scope in the communication industry.
Wireless Communication: With tremendous growth in the wireless and mobile sector, there has been a considerable increase in the number of students opting for wireless communication in M.Tech. While this requires a good base in the communication subjects, it also requires a fair knowledge on programming too. Here also, the communication has to merge with the information technology to make it a complete specialization.
Electronics Design & Technology: This is mostly a research oriented domain covering the Network communication, Power Conversion & Drives, Instrumentation, VLSI Design, etc. Whether it is in the public or private sector, the successful students can work in telecommunication, hardware or software industry, automation or instrumentation industry.
Microelectronics & VLSI Design: Being the subdomain of electronics, this is mostly concerned with the manufacturing and study of small nano type design of electronic components like semi-conductor materials, transistors, capacitors, inductors, etc. Large electronics and computer manufacturing companies like IBM do research and development in the area of microelectronics.
Some of the other areas are:
• Digital System
• Electronic Instrumentation
• Nanotechnology
Telecommunication Engineering: This is an interdisciplinary area with an integration of computer science, electrical as well as electronics, mostly focused on the area of telecommunications. The type of work is basically to design the circuits. Graduates in this area are expected to design and supervise the installation of telecom equipment, facilities and devices, switching systems, etc. This includes the fiber optics for the communication, telephone as well as broadcasting of the information.
