INSIDE

1- INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING

2- WHICH SPECILISATION SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?


1.1 INTRODUCTION

Do you like solving technical problems? Are you good at science and math? You might consider
becoming an engineer. Engineers are problem solvers who use their expertise in science and math to do
their job.

The word engineer is derived from the Latin word “ingeniar” or “ingenium” which literally means to
devise in the sense of construct or craftsmanship. Engineering is a branch of science and technology that
deals with the designing of technology and feasibility of applications to the human kind in the easiest
possible way. Engineering is an art and science to create wonders. Engineering is one of the oldest and
preferred streams in our education system. This has been a favored career option among students after
10+2. Engineering offers students an opportunity to work in technical, scientific and mathematical areas
in order to meet the growing demands of human needs in various fields as:

 Aeronautical / Aerospace / Astronautical Engineering
 Agricultural Engineering
 Automobile Engineering
 Biochemical Engineering
 Biomedical Engineering
 Bio-Technology Engineering
 Computer Engineering
 Civil Engineering
 Chemical Engineering

 Textile Engineering


1.2 SPECIALIZATION FIELDS & SCOPE – WHICH BRANCH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

1. AERONAUTICAL / AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction,
and science of aircraft and spacecraft. It is divided into
two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical
engineering and astronautical engineering. The former
deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere, and
the latter with craft that operates outside it.

Aerospace Engineering deals with the design,
construction, and study of the science behind the forces
and physical properties of aircraft, rockets, flying craft,
and spacecraft. The field also covers their aerodynamic
characteristics and behaviors, airfoil, control surfaces,
lift, drag, and other properties. Aerospace engineering is not to be confused with the various other fields
of engineering that go into designing elements of these complex craft. For example, the design of
aircraft avionics, while certainly part of the system as a whole, would rather be considered electrical
engineering, or perhaps computer engineering. Or an aircraft's landing gear system may be considered
primarily the field of mechanical engineering. There is typically a combination of many disciplines that
make up aerospace engineering.

While aeronautical engineering was the original term, the broader "aerospace" has superseded it in
usage, as flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space. Aerospace engineering,
particularly the astronautics branch, is referred to colloquially as "rocket science".

2. AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

Agricultural engineering is the engineering discipline that applies engineering science and technology to
agricultural production and processing. Agricultural Engineers apply engineering principles to all
activities related to agriculture and horticulture. This basically implies looking after the mechanization of
agricultural activities for the smooth functioning and
efficient increase in food productivity.

Agricultural engineers also specialize in other aspects like
power system and machinery design; structures and
environmental science; and food and bioprocess
engineering. They discover the ways to conserve soil and
water and to improve the processing of agricultural


products. Improvement in agricultural farm machinery, farm structures, rural electrification, bio-gas,
new technologies in the design and manufacture of agricultural products and also conservation of soil
and water are some of the jobs handled by an agricultural engineer.

Career as an Agricultural Engineer: The career is interesting, challenging as well as rewarding.
Agricultural graduates have many options in their hand. Apart from joining manufacturing industries
they can also choose for water resource management, forestry, mining and rehabilitation, food
processing, peri-urban and rural development, machine development and many more. Agricultural
engineers can also work in manufacturers of agricultural equipment, Fertilizer and irrigation companies,
Farming companies, as commissioned officers in the defense services, Research organizations and
laboratories, as technical experts on engineering projects in banks and financial corporations, Industry
service organizations such as the sugar industry and in different NGO etc.

Jobs in mechanized farms, for rural electrification, and in agro-industrial corporations are also
increasing. Agricultural engineers also work as assistant engineers, designers, management trainees, and
technical officers in banks. Besides teaching and technical journalism, large numbers of these engineers
are absorbed in Central and state governments departments of agriculture.

3. AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING

Automobile engineering is one of the most
challenging careers these days. Due to demand
and passion on vehicles, automobile engineers
have a lot of opportunities in India as well abroad.
It is the study of engineering that deals with
designing the vehicle, Manufacturing new
products/ new vehicle, Repairing, servicing
vehicles. Automobile engineer should be
innovative and dedicated to their work.
Engineering has many sub section like systems and
soon.

It involves studying motor systems, design, technology and many more. Automobile engineer can be a
product design engineer, development engineer and manufacturing engineer. Manufacturing engineer
designs the layout keeping in mind the safety products where as a product designer will design and test
the systems of automobiles. Development engineers handle the delivery of the vehicles and also the
customer satisfaction.

The future engineers of the automobile can specialize in areas such as aerodynamics, fuels, chassis,
electronics, emissions, ergonomics, manufacture, materials, creation of a fast prototype, security or
management etc.


4. BIO-CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Bio-chemical engineering is a branch of integrated
knowledge of governing biological properties and
principles and of chemical engineering methodology
and strategy. It deals with the transformation of raw
materials into the bio-products on which the modern
society depends. A bio-chemical engineer is
definitely not a person that thinks within the box,
rather they are constantly looking to improve and
redefine various aspects of the living world.

A bio-chemical engineer may work on developing fermentation processes, animal cell culture, the
production and preservation of foodstuffs, improving the efficiency of a particular drug or
pharmaceutical process, or even helping find a cure for a disease like making ‘magic bullets’ that locate
and kill cancerous tumours, natural fuels, get involved in sewage treatment, and developing and
producing pharmaceuticals to reduce heart disease.

Career as a Bio-Chemical Engineer:

 Innovator- synthesizing the new products
 Create brilliance in the existing technology and processes
 Support and enable improvements in existing processes in homologous fields like bioinformatics,
pharmacogenomics and drug discovery

Typical work activities include:

 Applying biological and biochemical principles to the mass production of new products;
 Developing processes from pilot to plant to full-scale production so that the product can be
manufactured in bulk, safely, economically and profitably
 Designing, installing or constructing, and commissioning new production units, monitoring
development and troubleshooting existing processes
 Working with chemists and biologists to devise new products and processes
 Monitoring production, quality control and checking the safety of existing products


5. BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

Biomedical engineering is the study of principles and applicants of
engineering in the medical field. It is the combination of both medical and
engineering to improve life quality. It plays an important role in therapy,
rehabilitation and recovery. It is the combination of genetic engineering
and mechanical-engineering, it helps in providing software which helps the
technical systems to solve clinical issues.

The students who are interested in bio medical engineering should have an
interest in medical science, engineering and application of new technology
to medicine. They provide devices which are useful in clinical requires and they can also have bright
openings in management in hospitals and health care organizations.

6. BIO-TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living
organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and
other fields requiring bio-products. Biotechnology also utilizes these
products for manufacturing purpose. The concept encompasses a wide
range (and history) of procedures for modifying living organisms according
to human purposes that goes back to domestication of animals, cultivation
of plants and "improvements" through breeding programs, employ
artificial selection and hybridization. By comparison to biotechnology,
bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field with its emphasis
more on higher system approaches (not necessarily altering or using biological materials directly) for
interfacing with and utilizing living things.

Career as Biotech Engineer: Biotechnology reveals that Indian Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO)
will grow leaps. The growth of services sector will be over 8% and its contribution to India’s GDP will be
over 51%. According to Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), “India in the new knowledge economy”
and the areas with significant potential include pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, legal support,
intellectual property research design.

A biotechnologist may find jobs in the following fields:

 Drug and pharmaceutical research
 Public funded laboratories
 Chemicals
 Environment control
 Waste management
 Energy


 Food processing & Bio-processing industries

The government institutes and organisations, such as Department of Biotechnology (DBT), several
Agriculture, dairy and horticulture institutes offer employment to Biotechnology professionals. In
private sector, there are tremendous job openings for biotechnologists that have their own R&D units.

6. COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING

In today’s world of rapid technological development one
cannot deny the importance of Computers and also the
concerned engineering discipline. Automation is the current
trend in every field of work and this is the very fundamental
question underlying computer science—“What can be
efficiently automated?” Be it the commerce sector, the field
of medicine, defense, communications, and aviation etc, the
basic skeleton for carrying out any kind of work is provided
by the computers and the softwares that run on them.

Computer science (CS) spans the range from theory through programming to cutting-edge development
of computing solutions. It offers a foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technologies and
new ideas.This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but
also how they integrate into the larger picture.

Functional Areas of a Computer Science Engineer: Here is a broad overview of different areas of
computer science:

 Software Systems
 Hardware Systems
 Scientific Computing

Type of work involved: The work done by computer engineers consists of the preparation of a hardware
platform and software to run on it that would meet the needs of the users of the system. Creation of
any application involves the following:

 analysing user requirements
 researching, designing and writing new software programs
 testing new programs and fault finding
 evaluating the software and systems that make computers and hardware work
 developing existing programs by analysing and identifying areas for modification
 integrating existing software products and getting incompatible platforms to work together
 investigating new technologies
 creating technical specifications and test plans


 working with computer coding languages
 writing operational documentation with technical authors
 maintaining systems by monitoring and correcting software defects
 working closely with other staff, such as project managers, graphic artists, designers, developers,
systems analysts, and sales and marketing professionals
 consulting clients/colleagues concerning the maintenance and performance of software systems and
asking questions to obtain information, clarify details and implement information
 continually updating technical knowledge and skills by attending in-house and/or external courses,
reading manuals and accessing new applications

Major Core Companies: Microsoft, Google, IBM, Oracle, Infosys, Wipro, NetApp, and various other
organizations like DEShaw, GoldmanSachs etc that hire for their IT sectors.

Myth Busters:

a) Do I need to know a lot of programming languages to join CSE?

No. There are students who have never undertaken any course on programming when they join college
and still perform well in this field. But you should be prepared to work hard and learn these languages as
the need arises once you are here. One important pre requisite is that you must have a keen interest in
writing programs and a problem solving aptitude

b) Do I need to be good at maths for this branch?

Again a NO. Mathematics is included in the first year (which is common for all) and in the second year of
your bachelor degree in computer engineering but the kind of maths that you study for JEE has very
little coherence with the kind you have to study in college.

The life of a computer engineer is very easy and they are the ones who get higher salaries as compared
to other streams.

Believe in the above statement only at your own risk. It is a fact that software jobs are the most lucrative
jobs because of the kind of packages offered but it comes with a price. Programmers really have to work
hard in writing and debugging codes. Though it may not exert one physically but it does involve a lot of
mental effort and patience.


8. CIVIL ENGINEERING

An engineer managing civil works are known to be civil
engineers. They plan, design, sketch out and construct building,
roads, canals, sewage systems and much more. Civil
engineering needs high knowledge and analytical skills. There
works begins with the planning and great approval from
government, and then estimate the cost and start the
construction.

Civil engineers coordinate with other engineers. They perform team work and mostly work for the
government projects. With the experience they may also directly go with specialization in the
construction related projects like water resources, transportation and Infrastructure. Civil engineers can
start their career as a supervisor and higher up till managerial position in a particular special field. They
are the hot cakes for every construction business.

Type of work involved: From Civil engineering’s perspective, any major construction work involves
mainly four stages:

 Surveying
 Designing
 Construction
 Maintenance, Repair and Demolition

Myths Busters: People are generally confused about the role of a civil engineer. They usually
misunderstand them for architects. An architect designs an over view whereas a civil engineer figure out
how to make the given structure stable. A problem that students face is that some closed minded
people think it is related to mason work which is quite low standard and thus misguide the students,
where as it is obviously far from the truth.

Also, if someone tells you that civil engineering is losing its glamour then just tell him that people may
live without computers and electricity but not without a roof over their head. Civil engineering is the
basic need for the progress of any civilization. Also Civil Engineering is not only restricted to Engineering
but also gives a feel of management approach as a person has to supervise the whole construction.

9. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineering is nothing but engineers dealing with chemistry applying in designing, constructing
and operating the machines. Chemical engineers apply chemical technology in pharmaceutical
industries, petroleum technology, refining industries and so on. Chemical engineers also involve in
designing, production, operating the machinery in the industries. They play a major role in every
industry. They are coordinated with other engineers to implement the plan.


They are also responsible for the quality control of the product, to remove chemicals in the waste
materials and extract the by products for recycling them, to use biotechnology techniques and other
nano technology in bio products. Also, chemical engineers are required for every industry, as the
industries are growing in India these Engineers have got many options to choose from.

10. CONTROL ENGINEERING

Control engineering or control systems engineering is the engineering discipline that applies control
theory to design systems with desired behaviors. The practice uses sensors to measure the output
performance of the device being controlled (often a vehicle) and those measurements can be used to
give feedback to the input actuators that can make corrections toward desired performance.

When a device is designed to perform without the need of human inputs for correction it is called
automatic control (such as cruise control for regulating a car's speed). Multi-disciplinary in nature,
control systems engineering activities focus on implementation of control systems mainly derived by
mathematical modeling of systems of a diverse range.

11. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION & ENGINEERING

Industrial / production Engineering is the field of
engineering which concerns on planning, designing the
operation system of the organization. Industrial and
productive engineers work on installing the capability of
men and materials in an effective setup for increasing
the production of goods, improvement in the quality and
quantity in the product.

They aim on the customer satisfaction and measure the
efforts of the industries. IP Engineers respond for the
growth of industrial management, planning, controlling
and designing the systems of all activities of the organization.

Career Prospects: Industrial and production engineers find ample job opportunities in manufacturing
companies. They can also be absorbed in several other organizations including banks, hospitals, finance,
agriculture, public utilities, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, construction and government.

Industrial Engineers can also work as plant engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers,
process engineers and industrial managers in different industries, management and service sector in the
middle management cadre. Most of the opportunities are in the private sector.

12. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY


Information technology (IT) is the study, design, development, implementation, support or management
of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware. In
short, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect,
process, transmit and retrieve information.

Difference between Computer Science Engineering & Information Technology

At the most basic level, Computer Science is a "Hard" Science, well grounded in what is now known in
the field of Mathematics as Information Theory. Computer Science (as a field) is concerned with
developing new ideas around the use and design of computing systems, and with the mathematical
concepts of computation and information.

Information Technology, on the other hand, is a practical Engineering discipline, concerned with
implementing solutions to practical problems using current-day technology.

13. INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING

Instrumentation Engineering is the engineering
discipline, which will be examined as a separate
branch or can be used with electronic
engineering. The study focuses mainly on the
development, configuration and automated
systems. Instrumentation Engineers usually work
in industries with automated processes, such as
chemical or manufacturing plants with the aim
of improving system performance, reliability,
and stability.

They are responsible for the planning, construction and maintenance of equipment and all measuring
systems. Instrumentation Engineers also need to decide on the type of tools for better quality and
efficiency of the final product. Therefore, they are used as major items in industrial production.


14. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that
generally deals with the study and application of
electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. So,
it’s a discipline that employs the largest number of
engineers, covers everything related to electrical
devices, systems, and the use of electricity. It
covers a range of subtopics including power,
electronics, control systems, signal processing and
telecommunications. Contemporary electrical
engineering is a broad discipline that encompasses
a wide range of activities. 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 work on power plants, computers, and other electrical devices. Electrical engineers
are designing the dashboard computers that will monitor engine functions on automobiles of the future.
In every bit of our modern life electrical engineers contributes with their innovation and vision.

Career as Electrical Engineer: New materials, devices, circuits, systems, and networks are needed to
build the advanced communications and information-handling systems of the future. Previous
innovations in electrical engineering have had a dramatic impact on the way in which we work and live:
the transistor, integrated circuits, computers, radio and television, satellite transmission systems, lasers,
fiber optic transmission systems, and medical electronics. Their efforts toward what is rapidly becoming
an all-purpose technical degree prepare them for careers in telecommunication, medicine, sales, and
business management and in nearly every field of engineering.

Myth Busters:

a) Electrical Engineers are placed mainly in field work (tiring and disinteresting). Electrical engineering
offers a variety of options to choose from. The adventurous souls can have on field experiences in the
power or steel sector while for the fickle hearted, R&D work, designing and planning options are
available.

b) Electronics is a better stream than Electrical. No stream is good/bad or better/worse. An engineering
discipline exists beacause the society needs it. Electrical engineerinfg is in fact the mother of modern
streams such as electronics enginnering, computer engineering etc.


15. ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Electronics engineering is an engineering
discipline where non-linear and active electrical
components such as electron tubes, and
semiconductor devices, especially transistors,
diodes and integrated, are utilized to design

19. MARINE ENGINEERING

Marine engineering is a different and distinct branch of engineering. Though it comes under the gamut
of engineering, like architecture, it is a separate field. It is considered to be a lucrative and glamorous
career option with good placement records because shipping is an employment intensive industry and
most of those who complete this course get placed by the time they graduate.

Marine engineers are like the engines of the ships. They are entrusted with the responsibility of
supervision and maintenance of boilers, engines and other machineries of a ship in addition to
developing and designing new technology related to ships. Apart from this, they are also entrusted with
the task of ensuring safety standards while the ship is on sail. In a nutshell, the marine engineer is the
technical functional head of the ship.


Skills/Traits needed: To be able to work in this
field one must be willing to work in a team.
Multi tasking and problem solving skills are also
required. A marine engineer has to travel for
long periods on a ship and therefore, is away
from his family for considerable times. Besides,
he has to interact with people of different
nationalities. All this demands a personality that
is gregarious and likes mixing with people.

Moolah Factor: Marine engineering offers good
money. At the start of your career you can expect
to earn Rs. 35,000-40,000 as trainee engineer which can go up to Rs. 6 lakh or above per month when
you reach the position of chief engineer.

Future prospects: As mentioned above, shipping industry has jobs in plenty because it is a field that is
growing every day. As a marine engineer you can work on the public and private shipping companies.
You may also take up a shore job in a marine institute as a teacher or work in shipping offices as a
marine superintendent.

Eligibility: In order to become a marine engineer you must complete the four-year degree in marine
engineering. The eligibility requirements for the course are listed as below:

1. Males must be below the age of 25 years and for females the age bar is 27 years. You should be
unmarried.

20. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of
engineering that applies the principles of physics
and materials science for analysis, design,
manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical
systems. It is the branch of engineering that
involves the production and usage of heat and
mechanical power for the design, production, and
operation of machines and tools. It is one of the
oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.

Mechanical engineers are concerned with the
design, operation and maintenance of machines, their components, machine tools, manufacturing
systems and process. Perhaps the broadest of all engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering is
generally combined into three broad areas energy, structures and motion in mechanical systems, and
manufacturing. Mechanical engineers work for a wide array of manufacturing and design firms. Almost
every large technical or manufacturing company has need for mechanical engineers. Manufacture's
utilities and consulting firms large and small hire mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers are
expected to lead the resolution taking place in manufacturing processes, in which defects are eliminated
and greater efficiencies achieved.

Career as a Mechanical Engineer: Some of the businesses that hire mechanical engineers include:
hotels, banks, hospitals, construction firms, consulting firms, electronics manufacturers, textile
industries, the aerospace industry, the auto industry, the petroleum industry, and the industrial
machinery industry. This list could go on much longer. There are dozens and dozens of jobs within the
mechanical engineering field in the private sector.

There are also many jobs in government that can be secured. A few of these jobs are Army Corps of
Engineers, Department of Energy, Federal Aviation Administration, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
All of these are very important jobs working for very well-known government agencies.

Myth Busters: Counselors often tell students: if you are unsure of what you want to do in your life, play
it safe, keep your options open, and go for mechanical engineering.

A logical choice of course, but a choice which can go miserably wrong if one doesn’t have the right
attitude. Mechanical engineering is not just about tinkering with machines; it’s a way of life, a way of


thinking. It’s about applications, not cramming, the fine details as well as the broad concepts, the beauty
of the minute as well as the infinite. In mechanical, students are expected to construct an argument, to
generate a solution rather than follow one given to them or simply rehearse a formula. In the working
world, people will look to them and expect them to say something intelligent about a problem they’ve
never seen before. In technical colleges, students are given the analytical tools and problem-solving
skills they’ll need.

21. MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering ("mecha" for mechanisms, i.e.,
machines that 'move'), electronic engineering ("tronics" for electronics), and software engineering. The
purpose of this interdisciplinary engineering field is the study of automata from an engineering
perspective and serves the purposes of controlling advanced hybrid systems.

22. MINING ENGINEERING

Mining Engineering is a field that involves many of the other
engineering disciplines as applied to extracting and processing
minerals from a naturally occurring environment. The need for
mineral extraction and production is an essential activity of any
technically proficient society. As minerals are produced from
within a naturally occurring environment, disturbance of the
environment as a result of mineral production is understood.
Modern mining engineers must therefore be concerned not only
with the production and processing of mineral commodities, but
also with the mitigation of damage or changes to an environment
as a result of that production and processing.

Career as a Mining Engineer: Mining Engineers are responsible for
locating natural reserves of minerals, petroleum and other useful natural substances, and then to lay out
plans, devices shafts, inclines or quarries for the safe extraction of these resources, whether they be
coal, petroleum, metallic or non-metallic minerals, from under the earth. The safety measures needed
to be taken have to be carefully chalked out, keeping in mind the workers health, welfare and safety.

Major Core Companies: Most jobs for mining engineers are with the government and public sector
organizations such as the Indian Bureau of Mines, Geological Survey of India, and mining companies
such as CIL (Coal India Ltd.), IPCL, HCL, Neyvelli Lignite Corporation, etc.

Mining engineers can also find work with some private sector mining companies, or in teaching and
research.


23. NANO-TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING

Nanotechnology engineering is a multi-disciplinary engineering field, which draws from and benefits
areas such as materials science and engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine.

Generally, nanotechnology deals with developing materials, devices, or other structures possessing at
least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres. Quantum mechanical effects are important at this
quantum-realm scale. Nanotechnology is considered a key technology for the future.

There are many colleges and universities that offer nanotechnology degrees, but several programs only
include a minor in nanotechnology. Since nanotechnology is based on physics and engineering,
therefore, these two subjects will always be at the heart of nanotechnology education.

24. NUCLEAR ENGINEERING

Nuclear engineering is the practical application of the atomic nucleus gleaned from principles of nuclear
physics and the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components, specifically,
nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants and/or nuclear weapons. The field can also include the study of
nuclear fusion, medical applications of radiation, nuclear safety, heat transport, nuclear fuels
technology, nuclear proliferation, and the effect of radioactive waste or radioactivity in the
environment.

25. OCEAN ENGINEERING

Ocean engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, analysis and operation
planning of systems that operate in an oceanic environment. Examples of systems range from oil
platforms to submarines, from breakwaters to sailboats. Common to all are the conditions of the ocean
including waves, seawater, and hydrostatic pressure.

26. PETROLEOM ENGINEERING

Petroleum engineering is an engineering discipline
concerned with the activities related to the
production of hydrocarbons, which can be either
crude oil or natural gas. The petroleum engineer
evaluates potential oil and gas reservoirs, overseas
drilling activities, selects and implements recovery
schemes, and designs surface collection and
treatment facilities. The petroleum engineer
increasingly uses advanced computers in this


work, not only in analysis of exploration data and simulation of reservoir behavior, but also in
automation of oil field production and drilling operations. Petroleum companies own many of the
world’s supercomputers.

Petroleum engineering focuses on estimation of the recoverable volume of this resource using a
detailed understanding of the physical behavior of oil, water and gas within porous rock at very high
pressure.

Career as Petroleum Engineer: Petroleum engineers have a future full of growth, challenges and
opportunities. From the old, small petrol pumps to the service stations with state-of-the-art technology,
dealing in Petrol, Diesel, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) for
Automobiles, and other domestic industrial applications, the industry is primed for unprecedented
opportunities. Moreover, LPG and CNG are the promising energy fuels for the future and are finding
their utility in an increasing number of fuel-based applications. In a nutshell, the entire Oil & Gas sector
is poised for promising growth with an entirely unique approach.

27. TEXTILE ENGINEERING

Textile manufacturing is a major industry. It is based in the conversion
of three types of fibre into yarn, then fabric, then textiles. Textile
engineering deals with the application of scientific and engineering
principles to the design and control of all aspects of fiber, textile, and
apparel processes, products, and machinery. These include natural
and man-made materials, interaction of materials with machines,
safety and health, energy conservation, and waste and pollution
control.

Textile engineering, also known as textile technology, is the study of
various principles form engineering and scientific methodologies. These principles are then
implemented for the processing and production of all kinds of textile fabric and yarns from textile fibers.
The disciple involves extensive study of chemical and physical principles, which is then utilized for the
detailed study and analysis of the behavior of polymers involved in the formation of textile fiber.

Career as a Textile Engineer: They are employed in departments of textile plants and companies varying
from small to big scale, i.e. production, planning, quality control, sales/marketing or in agencies of
domestic or foreign companies for textile products and textile machinery, concentrated in different
regions of the country.

In India, there are two major textile sectors- handloom sector (the unorganized one) and the
mechanized sector (organized sector). These both have full growth potential. There are thousands of
textiles mills all over the country.


Graduates with textile chemistry find careers in dyeing and finishing, technical services, research and
development, quality control, product development, polymer science and environmental control. Most
graduates of textile management program initially enter management trainee programs which can
ultimately lead to plant or corporate management. Other career options include technical sales,
industrial engineering, product development, marketing, customer relations, human resources, and cost
& inventory control.
