CAREER IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING

Due to the rapid growth of information technology, the computer industry has become one of the fastest-growing segments of our economy. Computers can be found everywhere; ATMs, touching every facet of our lives. As a result, there exists a huge demand for computers, new communication systems and software.

A computer engineering graduate with a high percentage of marks and good communication skills is easily absorbed into reputed companies. Software and IT companies are the main employers of graduates.

They can also find job opportunities in a variety of environments in universities, research, private and public industries, government departments, business organizations, commercial organizations and the manufacturing sector etc. computer Engineers can work as software /hardware Engineers, which are the two main sectors in the computer industry.

They can work as programmers, web developers and E-commerce specialists with industries that build or use computer-based systems, such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, etc. National and multi-national computer manufacturing companies; computer hardware system design and development companies, computer networking companies, software development companies as well as hardware assembling and maintenance companies, data processing departments of modern industries and in areas where computers and computer-aided systems are used. Such as aeronautics and space science, the petroleum industry, chemical plants and power plants and management consultancy organizations are some of the probable workplaces.

Diploma holder in computer engineering can start their business enterprise with very little investment.
