Q: I am interested in Aeronautical Engineering. Please tell me if there is good scope for this course including campus placement prospects? BharathAeronautical Engineering is one of the most challenging fields of engineering with wide scope for growth. This field deals with development of new technology in the field of aviation, space exploration and defence systems. It specialises in the design, construction, development, testing, operation and maintenance of both commercial and military aircraft, spacecrafts and their components as well as satellites and missiles.Aeronautical Engineers are in very good demand in airlines, aircraft manufacturing units, air turbine production plants, etc. Campus placement depends upon the popularity and rating of the college you join as well as your performance.Q: My cut-off mark is 192. I am interested in studying BE Computer Engineering. I am unable to differentiate between the branches of Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology. It is said that both are identical except for a few courses which are unique to each programme. Please guide me as to which programme has better scope in terms of capacity building and for a computer-based career? R Keertana, Coimbatore.Remember Information Technology (IT) is about the application of computers for solving real-life problems in business and industry. It therefore deals primarily with the study of programming languages and software tools and techniques.Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is concerned with the design of computers and systems and deals largely with microprocessors, chip level programming, networking, computer design, computer architecture, embedded systems, etc.Typically, there would be a considerable overlap in these programmes. IT will have more emphasis on software while CSE will have more thrust on hardware. In my opinion, CSE will have wider scope and better future compared to IT.Q: I have secured State 702nd and 70th rank in AIEEE for BTech and BArch courses respectively and want to join the NIT in Trichy. However, I am confused over which course to select - Architecture or Engineering, although I prefer the former. Please give me your suggestions about the prospects of B Arch course? Raam ArvindWith huge investments in infrastructure development projects like roads and buildings and a rapid growth in housing and utility structures, the need for architects is constantly increasing. Therefore, there is an excellent scope for B.Arch graduates.The scope for a B.Tech degree is equally good. However, compared to civil engineers, architects need to be more creative and innovative in their work.Choose the one which interests you the most. Q: I am a class XII student. I am interested in pursuing a course in Marine Engineering. Please advise if it is better to enroll for a BE programme or directly enter Navy after completing schooling?S Mazhar AhmadMarine engineering deals with manufacture, design, operation and maintenance of ship machinery and engines as well as other sailing vessels. After completing Marine Engineering, you have excellent career options both on and off shores.Students after 12th with Physics, Chemistry and Math, can join Merchant Navy as Deck Cadets while BE graduates could directly join as marine engineers with lucrative remunerations. I would advise you to complete BE before joining Navy.Q: My daughter wants to enroll for a BE in Biomedical Engineering. Does this course have enough scope? What can she pursue in her post graduation?Subash Chandra Bose R RBiomedical engineering is a trendsetter in establishing a symbiotic relationship between engineering, medicine, biology and physics. The main objective of this field of study is to bring about improvements in overall healthcare systems. The job prospects for biomedical engineers are bright in many fields both in India and abroad.Biomechanics, biomaterials and bioinformatics all form an exciting wave in the future of medicine. There is a wide range of postgraduate courses available in these areas.[email protected]
