Is Mechanical Engineering suitable for Girls

An Engineering aspirant asked… I got 13123 Rank in EAMCET. I want to do Mechanical Engineering. As I am a girl, is the course suitable for me? What are the Job opportunities in India? I heard that Job opportunities are less compare to ECE, CSE and EEE.

Answer: Yes, there’s a misconception that Mechanical branch is not suitable for girls as many treat this as mere Physical Labor Work. It’s not limited to rough labour, however the branch has got major subdivisions like (1) Manufacturing Engineering (2) Thermal Engineering (3) Engineering Design (4) Industrial Engineering.

In today’s automated process generation, many machines are now operated by Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) method. Girls can also work in this field for designing, programming and administering manufacturing process.

So always suggest going with your interests, if you’re interested in Mechanical, then do not thinking or considering others concern who always demotivate as they think Mechanical field as Physical Labor work. If you take the Engineering Design, it’s basically concentrates on the design of engines and other mechanical equipment.

You have to learn software tools like AutoCAD, CATIA and UniGraphics which are used for creating designs. You can find jobs in Mechanical field as CNC Programmer, CAD Design Engineer, CAD Software Testing Engineer, Mechanical Design Engineer or you can work Lecturer in colleges based on your interest.

M.Tech DSP after B.Tech in ECE Branch

A student asked…. “I completed B.Tech in electronics and communication engineering now I wanted to do M.Tech in digital image processing so please give me the information regarding digital image processing and give me the information on jobs based on image processing”.

Answer: Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is the analysis and representation of discrete-time signal systems, including discrete-time convolution, difference equations, the z-transform, and the discrete-time Fourier transform.

The main applications of DSP are in the fields like biomedicine, seismology, digital communications, SONAR, RADAR, speech processing, video compression, digital image processing, audio compressing and audio signal processing.

Some of the examples are transmission and speech compression in forecasting seismic data processing, weather forecasting, sound reinforcement applications, room correction of sound in hi-fi, mobile phones, etc… For this you need to be ready with C, C++, Assembly Level Programming, Signal Processing Algorithms and Time Procesing.

According to NASSCOM, there would be higher growth prospects in the coming days. Many prominent private companies like Intel, Analog Devices, Lucent, Motorola and Texam instruments are strongly venturing into this field with high potential. You can also find government jobs in Police Department, All India Radio, Doordarshan, BSNL, Army Signal Core, etc.
