Applied electronics and instrumentation engineering good for girls?

The primary focus of

instrumentation

engineering is the

development and

implementation of

electrical and electronic

instruments for the

purpose of measuring,

monitoring, and

recording physical

phenomena. Among

many other types of

instruments,

instrumentation

engineers develop

seismic sensors, blood

glucose sensors, fire

detectors, and

amperemeters.

Instruments developed

by instrumentation

engineers include

analog, digital, and

mixed signal electronic

devices. Major users of

these instruments

include industries that

rely on automated

processes, such as

chemical and

manufacturing plants.

They depend on these

devices for safety, and

for improving

productivity and

reliability. A very large

field of work is also

offered in biomedical

engineering, and in

metrology (the

discipline that provides

devices for technical

measurements).

The scope of

instrumentation

engineering is vast, and

appears to be growing,

in part due to the

increased use of

automatic control in

manufacturing and

process plants. Growth

is also tied to the

development of more

accurate and more

robust sesnors, which

allow us to detect

phenomena of interest

(such as the presence of

minute levels of toxins

in food) with much

higher precision than

what we could do a

generation ago.

The Applied Electronics

and Instrumentation

curriculum in most

universities includes

courses on the design of

analog and digital

electronic devices used

for measurement and

control of parameters

such as flow, pressure,

temperature, and level,

and the calibration of

such instruments.

Students learn to

program

microcontrollers, and to

design and implement

communication

networks composed of

sensors, actuators, and

programmable logic

controllers (PLC). Since

instrumentation

engineering is closely

related to control

engineering, some

universities include

courses on signals,

systems, and control

theory.

The degree title

mentioned in the

question, Applied

Electronics and

Instrumentation, is most

popular in India.

Therefore, we decided

to look at what Indian

universities that offer

Applied Electronics and

Instrumentation

degrees say about the

career paths that

graduates are likely to

have.

Here is what the

Department of Applied

Electronics and

Instrumentation

Engineering at the

Silicon Institute of

Technology in

Bhubaneswar says

about career prospects

of its graduates:

The demand for Applied

Electronics is growing

rapidly and job

opportunities for

graduates are multi-

faceted. The graduates

can work as

Manufacturing

Engineers in [multi-

national corporations]

like Sony, LG, Samsung,

and Philips, as quality

controllers, research,

design & development

consultants,

entrepreneurs, and

teachers.

The Applied Electronics

and Instrumentation

Department at Manav

Rachna College of

Engineering also cites

rapid growth and the

diverse application of

the field:

The field of Applied

Electronics and

Instrumentation

Engineering is growing

at a very fast pace. Over

the past three decades

the field of

instrumentation has

seen an extremely

widespread application

in almost all discipline of

engineering e.g., mining

& metallurgy, robotics,

textile, rolling mills,

cranes & hoists, arc

furnaces, chemical

engineering, process

control, and static relays.

Answer 2

Good for anybody who has an interest and aptitude for it. Gender has *nothing* to do with it.

Answer 3

Yes.... But tough
