Trending Engineering Degree Courses for 2016

CADDZOOM

Every year over 13 l6akh students appear for the JEE Mains Entrance Examination, making it one of the largest entrance exams globally. The most common dilemma among engineering aspirants is, about the “Best Engineering Branch” to choose. Basically, what matters in choosing your branch is your personal interest and aptitude for that particular branch. Some of the trending Engineering courses to go for in 2016 can be:

Computer Science and Engineering / Information Technology

Software Engineering is, undoubtedly, one of the most leading branches in Engineering. This branch offers highly paid packages than any other branch along with ample of overseas job opportunities. If you have a keen interest in the field of software development, mobile development or database systems, you should definitely go for this branch.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Electrical and Electronics Engineering is considered one of the evergreen branches of engineering. Students in this course learn about generation and transmission of electrical power, electronics, electrical circuit design, instrumentation, control systems, etc. The government sector generates a number of job opportunities with high packages in industries such as- railways, steel factories, etc.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is one the oldest branch of engineering. This field always has opportunities despite of the changing market trends and technologies. This involves designing, analysis, manufacture and maintaining machines. This branch also offers ample job opportunities and high salary packages as a candidate move up the hierarchy of an organization.

Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is all about construction and buildings. This course can include study areas such as Fluid Mechanics, Soil Mechanics, Design of Structures, and Structural Mechanics. As a civil engineer, you will be building tunnels, roads, bridges, towers, canals, dams, seaports, airports, etc. Civil engineers, also works best in the government sector and are offered high posts and payments.

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is one the newest evolved branch of engineering. It was not considered as a branch, but factors such as Global Warming and its consequences, causing environmental issues raised this field of study as important. In the 4 year course of engineering, you will study Polymers, Chemicals, Petroleum and Pharmaceuticals along with the basics of Computer Science and Information Technology needed in the development of chemical engineering process.

Apart from the above engineering fields, there are other equally popular and relevant branches such as Industrial and Production Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Aeronautical Engineering, etc.

All the top-notch engineering colleges and Universities in India and abroad offer powerful courses. Any of them can be picked up as per your interest and caliber.

Automotive Design; an extensive opportunity creator for budding engineers

CADDZOOM

By 2016, India will emerge as the destination of choice in Asia for the design & manufacture of automobiles and automotive components. The output of the India’s automotive sector will be € 115 billion by 2016 contributing to 10 % of India’s Gross Domestic Product and providing employment to 25 million persons additionally.

The Automotive Industry

mar-15autoThe automobile industry is growing at a strong pace after its revival post the financial meltdown in 2008. The selling of light and heavy-duty vehicles has been up driven by transformed consumer confidence in the economy and higher spending. Government authorities issue emission standards in order to curb harmful emissions from vehicles, power plants and refineries. The automobile industry is supposed to adhere to the emission standards. To ensure that the vehicles are in compliance with emission standards emission control systems are used. The newer and stricter emission standards require the automobile manufacturers to upgrade their emission control systems continuously in order to remain in compliance. The manufacturers of automotive substrates and filters feel a positive effect on them because of these standards.

India presently follows Bharat Stage III standard, which is along the Euro III standard, for both light and heavy-duty vehicles. The Bharat IV standard, which is along the Euro IV standard, is at present being followed in select cities, but will be implemented across the country by 2015.

These standards have opened up numerous opportunities for people with an automobile engineering, mechanical engineering and technical diplomas in these areas. Mechanical / electronics / electrical engineers and those specializing in automobile engineering are involved in the assembly, testing, design, servicing and even marketing aspects of the automobile industry. Students of mechanical engineering can also opt for automobile engineering as an optional subject in many engineering colleges. The automobile industry is the barometer of the economic and social changes taking place in the country. It is one of the major sources of employment and is likely to create employment for thousands of new hands directly and indirectly, in near future.

Automotive design course at CADD Centre

This course fires up the interest in automotive body design while introducing to all stages of designing automobiles, architecture of automotive body and the graphical representation of the body parts using software. The objective of the course is to train you in designing primary body parts – body shell, body components, and body interior components of commercial and industrial vehicles. Automotive design course is basically concerned with developing the visual appearance or aesthetics of the vehicle. It is practiced by designers who usually have an art background and a degree in industrial design or transportation design. Along with the basics of automotive design, functional design and positioning; vehicle packaging; all about chassis and bodies the learners get introduced to automotive styling and learn how to build and control simple and complex geometry; CV sculpting method; CLASS A surfacing; surface conversion to other CAD; surface evaluation; and show room rendering. It is ideally suited for B.E. / B.Tech Mechanical students in the year (3rd/Final year), B.E. / B.Tech Automobile students in the year (3rd/Final year), M.E / M.Tech / M.S students in Design / CAD CAM/ Automobile, Professionals working in automotive design.
