Electrical engineering is a backbone for the development of Nepal where there is huge potential for generation and transmission of electricity. This branch of engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This field first became an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use. In today’s world where energy crisis is a major issue, electrical engineers through production of hydroelectricity can alleviate the problem.
Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of sub-fields including electronics, computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radiofrequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics.
The subject of electronic engineering is often treated as its own sub-field but it intersects with all the other sub-fields, including the power electronics of power engineering. These range from basic circuit theory to the management skills required of a project manager. The tools and equipment that an individual engineer may need are similarly variable, ranging from a simple voltmeter to a top end analyzer to sophisticated design and manufacturing software.
Government
|
Government job is one of the lucrative career options for Electronics and Communication engineers. As they enter governmental agencies, they require more competent skills to move up the ladder. Various training programs are attended. The need of leadership training and training related to public administration and management is felt after some years of experience. Therefore, some leave the path of technical engineering and enter to management platform while others stay focused on technical skills acquiring technical training to develop expertise skill in the chosen domain. Major role of government engineers at higher level is to develop policy and standard for the profession and general public. This way, electronics and communication engineers can have positive impact on the development of society. |
Education |
Shape the future of electronics engineering and prepare the next generation of professionals.For those interested in teaching, the best option will be the involvement in academia. Knowledge learnt should be passed on to next generation of engineers. Therefore, electronics and communication engineers can indulge in academic area preparing next generation engineers with constant amendment of courses. This may require advanced degree with doctoral in some cases. Engineering educators write grants to obtain research funding and work with graduate students to conduct research aimed at developing advancements in the field of engineering. At many academic institutions, publishing research findings and obtaining grant funding for your academic institution are key elements to success. Additionally, facilitating student learning and achieving recognition as a top performing teacher help make this a fulfilling career choice. |

An in-depth knowledge of electronics and electrical equipment is necessary for this job and can be acquired through formal education. They install electronic equipment using various power tools and machinery, including drill presses, pipe threaders, grinders, hoists, measuring devices, and testing equipment. They inspect and maintain existing equipment using similar tools, such as voltmeters and PC-based diagnostic software. This may require analysis and troubleshooting of complex problems. |
Telecommunication |
Get Himal, Pahad and Terai Connected. Devise efficient and economic communication network.Telecommunication is an area where most Electronics and Communication Engineers dream to be. In area of traditional and modern telephony, engineers design and install equipment used for transmitting wired phone, cellular, cable and broadband data. Their day-to-day responsibilities include working with copper or fiber optic cabling, complex networks and switching systems. Telecommunications engineers may be employed by wired and wireless telecommunications companies, engineering consulting firms or government agencies. |
Automation and Control |
Get automated systems Designed, programmed, simulated and tested.Another area of career options for electronic engineers is automation and control. This field of automation involves the creation and application of technology to monitor or control the production and delivery of products and services. Automation engineers design, program, simulate and test automated machinery and processes in order to complete exact tasks. They are employed in industries such as car manufacturing or food processing plants, where robots or machines perform specific functions. Automation engineers are responsible for design specifications and other detailed documentation of their creations. |
Software |
Identify, design and implement computer based solutions for a wide variety of projects and an array of clients.In today’s digital world, programming is one of the greatest assets. Electronics engineers are allured in the software industries as well. Responsibilities of software engineers include determination of operational feasibility by evaluating analysis, problem definition, requirements, solution development, and proposed solutions. They document and demonstrate solutions by developing documentation, flowcharts, layouts, diagrams, charts, code comments and clear code. They prepare and deploy solutions by determining and designing system specifications, standards, and programming. Competent software engineers update themselves with job knowledge by studying state-of-the-art development tools, programming techniques, and computing equipment; participating in educational opportunities; reading professional publications; maintaining personal networks; participating in professional organizations. |
Networking |
Make sure that IT Infrastructure of the organization are secured and available 24×7.Those interested in networking become network analysts or administrator. Their primary duties include maintaining the integrity and security of a company’s network and the systems connected to it. A computer networking specialist must have extensive knowledge of network connectivity, protocols, network security devices, network types, including wireless, fiber optic or copper wire, and common operating systems, such as Windows and UNIX. In an entry-level capacity, computer networking specialists could be responsible for responding to troubleshooting calls and e-mails from users of the network. They need to be able to diagnose and offer repair instructions remotely, as well as in person. In an advanced role as an analyst or administrator, computer networking specialists often monitor network access for bottlenecks, security threats or problems with connectivity. They might also configure and maintain security devices to ensure the safety of company software, systems and data. |
Database Administration |
Develop mechanism to securely store data and present to the user as and when requested.Knowledge in database makes electronics engineers seek opportunity as database administrator. A database administrator (DBA) is responsible for the performance, integrity and security of a database. They will also be involved in the planning and development of the database as well as troubleshooting issues on behalf of the users. DBA roles vary depending on the type of database, the processes they administer and the capabilities of the database management system (DBMS) in use. Because of the increasing levels of hacking and the sensitive nature of data stored, security and disaster recovery have become increasingly important aspects of the work. |
Mobile Apps |
Build smart apps for smarter people.This is one of the trending entrepreneur skills that an electronics engineers can get involved with. If you are the one who possess passion for pushing mobile technologies to the limits and love challenges to design and build the next generation of mobile applications, you will move on as mobile application developer.
