Interesting Facts for Computer Engineering Students

Amongst all engineering disciplines in the Indian education system, Computer Engineering is one of the most demanding. As everything is based in and around implementing latest technologies these days, the need for IT (Information Technology) has surged, making computer engineering as important as never before.

Here are some interesting facts for computer engineering students.

B. Tech in computer engineering

Computer engineering students are required to have an in-depth knowledge of both hardware and software engineering. Throughout the 3 years B. Tech course, computer engineering students deal with several subjects that focus on creating a bridge between software and hardware.

Why to join computer engineering course?

There are more than 1 ways through which a high school pass out can join a computer engineering course. First off, a student (from science background) can join 4 years full-time B.Tech college for pursuing computer engineering. Another way is to join a 3 years computer engineering diploma program in a polytechnic institute and then go for B. Tech. In this case, students get a lateral entry to B. Tech at 2nd year.

4 year full-time computer engineering

Students (high school pass outs), who wish to join a 4 year full-time computer engineering B. Tech course, have to pass the AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination). Similarly, students (class 10th and 12th pass outs) have to pass the JEXPO (Joint Entrance Examination Polytechnic) to get admission in a polytechnic institute. After completing the 3 years computer engineering diploma program, students have to get appropriate ranking in the WBJEE JELET (Joint Entrance Examination for Lateral Entry) to get enrolled in B.Tech college. 

Research projects in computer science

Just like students of other engineering disciplines, computer engineering students are required to work on research projects in computer science during the 6th semester. Some of these extensive projects include in-depth analysis of GPS and GIS systems.      

Perks of pursuing computer engineering

One of the greatest perks of pursuing computer engineering is that students get access to leading technologies that are associated with the subject. Reputed engineering colleges provide cutting-edge laboratories to ensure students get proficient on practical knowledge and skills.  This, in turn, helps computer engineering students to lay out practical approach in research and work sphere.  

Join short-term certificate courses

Apart from acquiring a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, students can even join short-term certificate courses to boost their credentials. Some of the popular computer courses include Internet of Things, VBA and Macros, Big Data, Java, Oracle, and Social and Analytics.

Computer engineers' Work

Computer engineers also work on embedded systems which are an unconventional form of computer systems. Some of the most common examples of embedded systems include kitchen appliances, radio, television and traffic lights.
