B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering 

at Indian Naval Academy, Kannur

ECE courses do offer various electives for you to opt in the both the UG-level and PG-level ECE courses where you get the chance to pick a specific subject that interests you more, is easy-going for you, and in which you can even pursue a specialisation further to tailor your career path in a particular direction.
You can choose to pick a subject according to the specialised field within your broad ECE specialization, which you would like to enter into in the future, where you see yourself as a well-established engineer. For example, in BTech ECE, there are a variety of electives like Embedded Systems, Antenna Design, Fiber-optic communication, VLSI Technology, etc.

Dear candidate, the subject of Machine Design basically teaches you about the designing fundamentals of various types of machinery across industries. You get to learn about the different ways in which elements can be combined to form an equipment or machine system and get the work done in an effective manner.

The knowledge of this subject is very important for a mechanical engineer as he/she will have to put this to use in the future whenever they enter the workforce as a mechanical engineering professional.

Hope this cleared your doubt. Have a good day.

The BTech Mechanical Engineering syllabus is not the same across all colleges, as every college committee sets a particular coursework pattern at the start of every academic year to be followed for the respective batch. The syllabus includes some core subjects, interesting electives, and lab work that gives detailed knowledge to the students about the workings of the field.

Hi candidate!

While specific books may vary between IITs, some commonly used books in BTech Mechanical Engineering are as follows:

• “Textbook of Engineering Mechanics” by R.K Bansal
• “Industrial Engineering and Management” by O.P. Khanna
• “Fundamentals of Thermodynamics” by Richard E. Sonntag
• “Mechanical Engineering Design” by Joseph Shigley and Charles Mischke
• “Manufacturing Engineering and Technology” by S. Kalpakjian and S.R. Schmid

Hope it cleared your query. Good day!

ECE graduates have many career choices. Here are some examples:

• ECE Core: Developing electronic circuits, devices, and communication systems. Telecom companies, Semiconductor firms
• Consumer Electronics: Developing electronic products such as mobile phones, television, and home appliances.
• Embedded Systems: Writing software for microcontrollers in many applications.
• VLSI Design: It involves the design of VLSI ICs that are used in computers, other electronic devices, and other applications.
• Networking & IT: It encompasses designing and managing computer networks together with communication infrastructure.
• Aerospace & Defense: It involves work with aircraft, missiles, and satellites.
• Research & Development: Here, you can conduct research into certain areas, such as wireless communications or artificial intelligence.

Some of the top employment areas for ECE graduates are as follows, which are based on the type of job responsibilities that ECE engineers offers:

• Atomic Energy Commissions
• Civil Aviation Department
• All India Radio
• Manufacturing Units

To be honest, a large amount of programming is involved in Electronics and Communication Engineering. C, C+, or Python, types of languages you'll study in the first year only. They then use this programming language in subsequent courses to develop software for microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and other electronic devices.
