Electrical Engineering Job Opportunites

Electrical Job Opportunities:

Energy is an essential requirement of human life. For any country's development electrical power plays a significant role. Requirement of the electrical energy increases day by day and expansion of electrical industry is in a rapid pace.

With the increase in the demand for electricity. New generation units should be set up. This leads to increase in the scope of transmission and distribution which results in increase in the requirement of the skilled electrical engineers every year.

Civil, Mechanical and Electrical disciplines are considered as mother of all Engineering disciplines. All advanced engineering fields emerged from these core engineering fields. Both in Government and in private sector the requirements and job opportunities for the skilled man power is enormous. Lot of job opportunities will be available in PSUs such as NTPC, BHEL, HAL, ONGC, IOCL and pay will be in par with the private sector.

Electrical Engineering is one of the good disciplines to choose which provides lot more scope to learn and wide job markets after the completion of the course.

Industrial training

Industrial training Importance in Graduation:

Learning from practical observation is much more efficient than learning theory. However learning theory is the fundamental step to build the concept and learning about the applications of what we learned will be the takeoff point.

Technology what we learned in graduation college will be different from the technology what industry using in current day. Syllabus in graduation cannot changed dynamically to suit the industry as the principles and concepts what we learn in colleges are like small foot steps at our early stage of life. We cannot ignore the very basics of the subject. But there is a gap between the industry needs and the fresh graduates coming out for job market. How to fill the gap?

Industrial training is the tool to learn the industry standards during vacations of our colleges. Once in my college days i planned to prepare technical paper on "Energy Management In Thermal Power Plant".For case study i took permission and visited 1260MW thermal power plant. I have seen the dynamic operation of thermal power plant in real. For calculating the energy of each auxiliary component i went around the plant and took the readings. I was introduced to new technologies such as DCS, SCADA, and automation in thermal power plants, VFDs.. and many more. It widened my level of understanding. Same experience was encountered when visited 400kV Power Grid Substation.

Few days of Industrial training will not give you everything but at least make you feel the difference between College and Industry, helps to understand the industrial standards and technologies used.. Attend any training if you get an opportunity or at least plan for industrial visits. Many companies provide training for graduates contact them and approach through your college administration.

This is a piece of advice give by your senior fellow to my beloved juniors.

How to Prepare Technical Paper for Presentation (TPP)

Technical papers preparation:

How to prepare a technical paper for paper presentation? What should be the topic of the paper for presentation? What are the resources available for preparing a technical paper? These are some of the questions when you want to start preparing a technical paper when you are a beginner.

What is Paper Presentation?

Paper presentation is the abstract of the work which you have done. The ideas what you learned, observed and discovered when you are working on a particular topic is kept on a paper.

Different Types of Papers:

Technical papers are of three types

1.      Informative

2.      Modeling and Simulation

3.      Design and Manufacture

Informative: This type of papers will explain about the general information available. For eg: Consider latest trends and technologies used in Wind Power Generation. You can collect the information from different sources and organize them accordingly and can give your suggestions, comments on the topic and can make a paper.Technical papers of this type will be given less importance than the others because the direct work involvement which you do is less. However if you add a case study of your own then the quality of the paper will be improved. For eg: Energy Conservation or Audit, you do a case study for your University or big township and give your suggestions.

Modeling and Simulation: Many software tools available for simulation and carryout the studies and before designing simulation tests will be carried out  to study the design. Simulation tests will also be carried out for existing system to determine who it behaves during different operating conditions. Choose some IEEE or other journal technical papers, pick up the topic which will suit you the best. Model the system and try to simulate in different software tools (MATLAB,PSCAD, ETAP,EMTP,PSPICE..) and if possible do the experiment in your lab and analyse the results.

Design and Manufacture: This type of papers explains about designing and manufacturing an equipment. It explains about what are your requirements, who you design the equipment and manufacture it. What is the end result. For eg: you can take up designing SMPS based on your requirement and manufacture it accordingly.

Final Advice: Refer International Journals and Magazines and choose your topic. Do something different from the parent paper (what you taken up as reference). All the Best!
