CATTACSVG offers post education electrical engineers work in or across the following disciplines of the field.
Electronics: involves the making electronic circuits to carry out a specific function. With increasing technological advancements, electronics moved to integrated circuits which allow highly efficient and compact devices. This has resulted in growth of consumer demand for electronic gadgets as we see them today.
Instrumentation: is where physics learnt during engineering is applied. Engineers design devices that mean quantities such as force, temperature, pressure etc. and these devices are installed on appliances such as space shuttles, aerial vehicles, automobiles etc.
Control engineering: is the development of a system to monitor and respond to various parameters for a device such that the device acts in a preferred manner. Applications of controlled engineering are auto-pilots on aircrafts and cruise control in cars. Control engineering paves way for automation across different industries helps us make smarter systems.
Power engineering: involves the activities related to electricity such as generation at power plants and transmission and distributions to the length and breadth of the country. Engineers working in this area usually work with power manufacturers and deal with issues such as providing power and drawing power from the national grid.
Power electronics: deals with converting the forms of electricity such as current, voltage etc. This allows us to use the same source of electricity for different applications such as charging mobile phones, inverters, rectification for DC devices etc.
A few electrical engineers also take up further in the field to research and develop newer technologies and enter academia.
