Engineering Scope

Hi Serena, First of all, let's see what these branches are all about. Biomedical engineers typically do the following:
Design biomedical equipment and devices, such as artificial internal organs, replacements for body parts, and machines for diagnosing medical problems. Plastics engineering encompasses the processing, design, development, and manufacture of plastics products. A plastic is a polymeric material that is in a semi-liquid state, having the property of plasticity and exhibiting flow. Plastics engineering encompasses plastics material and plastic machinery. Although they somewhat relate to chemistry or chemical engineering, they are completely different. You should study the domain of both of these streams separately and then decide as per your interests!
All the best.

Future scope in this branch or any other branch depends upon how and what you see in that branch.
I am also pursuing metallurgical engineering, and can tell you what I feel about metallurgy.
Well, broadly you can divide this branch in two broad categories:
1. Research
2 Industry
Areas where research is going on in this field are smart materials, sensors, Nano materials and various other areas. And, jobs in this sector mainly include in research institutes and many R&D section of companies like Intel and many more. And, also huge amount of research is done in this field in other countries also (Dakota School of Mines in USA)
There are various types of industries
1 Nonferrous extraction: - VEDANTA, HINDUSTAN ZINC LIMITED, SESA STERALITE, RIO TINTO.
2. Steel plants:-JINDAL STEEL, TATA STEEL
3. Foundries (this is basically a casting industry where gear box housing and various other type of castings are there, which are made in foundries):-MAHINDRA, SWARAJ, TATA MOTORS.
Pay package depend upon various factors, like which company, what position you hold there etc.
It is also true that mostly (not all cases) working conditions are bit tough, as dust, high temperature is there. But, not all the time. One need to be there in such environment.

Hi Arindam,
There are many people who have same questions as you have. So, here I am giving you:-
Some advantages of MBA after Engineering:
1) MBA stresses on building soft skills, which is one of the most important life skill.
2) MBA becomes pivotal in opening up alternate career paths for many who completed engineering grudgingly, or got bored of corporate job as an engineer.
3) Some people who do executive MBA or a short term MBA along with their jobs, do it to skill themselves in areas that will help them grow further. Some disadvantages of MBA post Engineering:
1) An MBA in Finance after CA or B.Com is better than after engineering
2) General MBA is equally good after any graduation.
3) MBA in sales and marketing doesn't specifically benefit from engineering unless post MBA job requires technical know how. MBA after engineering is not a waste of engineering degree as many people and this questions make it sound. Its fine for people to take a little longer to identify what suits them and what makes them work. Everybody should strive to reduce this period to as short as possible.

Aerospace engineering has recently elevated in India. So, we cannot expect much scope as there are hardly any private companies (ex:- Team Indus). Though there are government run companies such as ISRO, DRDO, HAL, etc. But, getting into these companies is a bit challenging as best of best get into such companies. The only thing about Aerospace engineers is to create scope rather than finding scope. In simple words, if you choose this field, start working on your own projects which will act as your helping hands after graduation for getting into the mentioned highly esteemed organizations. There are JVs (joint ventures) coming up in India (Reliance, Mahindra) with the foreign companies (ex:-Lokheed Martin) but it will take some time. When you join this course, think that college won't be of any use regarding placements. One has to work on his own for touching success in this field. Also there are very few private and government colleges offering this course (government- IIT-MADRAS, KANPUR, BOMBAY). Presently, one should surely pursue M.Tech in this field to excel. Best of Luck!
