Education and Career Forum

Hello there,
I have completed my degree in electronics and communication engineering from f.e.t ,gurukula kangri vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar. I am planning to do a 6 months diploma course in embedded systems in an institute named Cranes varsity, Banglore. They said, that placement assisstance will be provided.
But my friends say that there is no use of doing such courses because there is no scope for embedded systems in India. They insisted me do other courses such as SAP, Java,.net etc, I am not interested in those areas at all. They added, doing course will not help you in getting job and its a waste of time, money. They said, you will be getting the same salary in Embedded domain which we get in software companies.
I am in a big dilemma whether to do course or to start applying for software jobs. I want to know the scope of Embedded system engineers in india and the pay scale for a fresher in that domain.

Bye.

Sorry but your friends donot have good knowledge about this field.
This is the core field of electronis and have very good scope in present as well as in future.
Most of the electronic item are based on this technology and will develop in near future this gives you chance to R&D.
Better to go for course in this field and secure good future.

Is embedded Systems domain in SAP company?

Is it better choice to choose embedded system as the future for the student of Computer Engineering??

dear,

embedded system is really a good ladder for the persons who are interested in ROBOTICS

robotics is the application of the embedded systems

assembly language used in embedded system is helping in understanding the micro controller and if you are good in embedded systems then

areas of microcontroller are in your domain so

best of luck

how much does this course costs?

As myself a electrical engg students , i advice you to do this as it have good scope either you take GATE or do Msc , it will be helpful to you.

Hi!
Being an Electronics and communication engineer we should be clear about embedded field..
It is an emerging and growing field all over the world. there is lot of scope in embedded field in future...sorry to say this, according to your friend java,sap may look good.those subjects are already been a well defined one..look towards the future where the world wants to be developed in that aspect embedded will bring you a full scope

Embedded Systems:


Embedded systems are involved in almost every facet of modern life including cell phones, pagers, answering machines, microwave ovens, televisions, CD and DVD players, video game consoles, remote controls, fax machines, and digital cameras. Modern automobiles may contain as many as 65 embedded microprocessors, controlling such tasks as antilock breaking, climate control, engine control, audio system control, and airbag deployment. Embedded processor sales far outweigh any other type of microprocessor.

This tremendous growth in embedded computing has given rise to demand for engineers with experience in designing and implementing embedded systems.



So, the students completing the Advanced Course in Embedded systems will be equipped with the needful technical skills concerning

Evaluating
Developing
Implementing
Integrating

Embedded systems, and will understand the role of embedded systems in the context of complex engineering systems.

Thanks

hello everybody,
#19 post is much usefull. Thankyou sir.

is there any seminar on embedded system who talk directly face to face in mumbai.
if yes can you able to send on my email adress [email protected]
pls i am waitting...
thanque.

is embedded system(ES) is better than wireless mobile communication(WiMC) in CDAC?

hi evey one, my name is rajesh completed b.tech in ECE in 2010 passout . i wasted almost oneyear time unknowingly... please suggest me what to do now .. whether enter in embedded field are .. should i take any .net course... and also after completion of course any company consider me are not... because wasted one year of time, all are saying i had no chance of doing any software jobs .... please suggest me i am in very confusion and all i lost my confidence ... please tell me any opportunity for me .. and what to do

I AM SANTOSH, i am intrstd in embedded coarse. bt i hav aggr of nly 55%.does it mattr aftr my embedded coarse completion. pls answr me seniors.

sir, i am an mca student i want do embeded systems.but my friends said it is for btech graduates.no one recruite mca
students.can we do it.

Is embedded systems company good for software engineers??

Hi,

Actually I will congratulate you that you have posted this question here to get proper answer , otherwise If u had followed your friend advise without discussing here , then you would be in trouble.

Actually, there is a huge scope for embedded system in India and it is increasing very fast. Today there are large requirement for the embedded engineers in the tech cities like Bangalore , Hyderabad, Mumbai etc.

I will strongly suggest you to go for diploma course. There are lot more institutes who have expert faculties , who can train you and also make you learn the case studies.

Only thing that matter is you have to find out good institute and also you should discuss about placement to the other student who have already enrolled with such institutes.

Java,.Net etc. software field is good , but here you have the choice and also you are a student of B.E.(ECE)so , I will strongly recommend you to go for embedded course.

best of luck
regards.

SIR, which programming language is compulsory to learn for embedded systems ? is C language sufficient to learn embeddedsystems??????

An embedded systems designer needs to be a multidisciplinary engineer with software programming skills and a broad background in electronic engineering. They must know how to implement procedures to control the target system effectively. Another important element in an embedded systems engineer's career is the ability to manage projects of various complexities.
Professional engineers are involved in creating the technology demanded by society to cater for its needs in consumer goods, medical equipment, transportation, communication and industrial tools. The list is not exhaustive and continues to grow on a daily basis. This growth has led to a significant skills shortage in the embedded systems engineering sectors. Embedded systems are ubiquitous in all areas of engineering and graduates are likely to be employed in a diverse range of industries with a salary above the average for traditional engineers.
Embedded systems are gaining increasing importance in all aspects of engineering. It is expected that in the near future roughly no technical artifact will exist without embedded information technology. There is a tendency to software oriented embedded and/or dependable systems, based on standardized micro-controller cores. This implies that the design of embedded real-time software and real-time operating systems will play a dominant role in this field. As more and more networks of micro-controllers are applied, real-time communication systems and in general the design of distributed embedded systems will gain importance. As high-performance embedded computing components have become available the challenges of designing embedded systems have become more acute.

The scope comprises in detail to:

organize events in the area of ES (e.g. DIPES (Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems));

seek co-operation with user and interest groups as well as with ES-oriented groups within IFIP and other societies;

discuss, disseminate and exchange information on ES-related standardization activities;

study and encourage curricula on ES design;

initiate and organize new ES-related activities.

GOOD LUCK.

HI,

Embedded systems are involved in almost every facet of modern life including cell phones, pagers, answering machines, microwave ovens, televisions, CD and DVD players, video game consoles, remote controls, fax machines, and digital cameras. Modern automobiles may contain as many as 65 embedded microprocessors, controlling such tasks as antilock breaking, climate control, engine control, audio system control, and airbag deployment. Embedded processor sales far outweigh any other type of microprocessor.

In short its a very good field which provide ladder for successful career.

All the Best

Hello I did BE in Information technology ( which had a bit of electronics(5% of subjects) part like Analog Electronics, Digital Electronics,DSP,VLSI and 90 % subjects were of Computer Science) . I was strong in Analog and Digital Electronics those days but bit weak in DSP and very weak in VLSI..So for me please suggest which will be better to do in MS. is it better for me to do MS in Real Time Embedded Systems or it is better to do MS in Computer Science And Networking.Please note I am also interested to do PhD in future.
