With a large section of the intellectual population heading in this direction, the frontiers of engineering have expanded through the years. Colleges and universities have been striving all this time to establish excellence in various fields and many new areas of engineering have streaked out as a result of these efforts. Alongside, conventional areas like computers, electronics, mechanical, etc., a new species of engineering has been born; disciplines like chemical, textile, IT, metallurgy, polymers, biotechnology, etc. have been fast catching up.
Sunil Goel, director, GlobalHunt tells us how these fields have been growing and acquiring a favourable place in the market for themselves, "It has been observed that fields like aerospace, mining and metallurgy engineering are gaining momentum because of their huge demand in the current market scenario. Of late, there has been a lot of focus on mining and metallurgy; civil engineering is growing because of an ever-increasing demand for real estate and infrastructure. Aerospace is also becoming important because a large number of people from urban area and tier 1 cities are opting to cover long distance travel by air. Specialists in these fields have bright future and their demand will continue to grow in the coming years."
A curious observation in these fields is the fact that engineers from these relatively obscure areas have made their places even in seemingly unrelated sectors like IT, manufacturing, electrical companies, etc. Though this may seem strange, it is not actually a surprising scenario. Iqbal Singh Jagdeva, MD, Turbo Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd. explains, "No industry or sector can function on its own today. Almost every discipline present in the market is now intricately connected with several other fields. In such a situation, it is quite natural that engineers from these new fields are today working in sync with those of the conventional ones to create equilibrium and excellence in any area. Besides, if we are to compare the curriculum of engineering of different departments, we can easily observe that a major portion of study is common to all disciplines. These typical topics enable engineers to function in any industry satisfactorily while the rest of the curriculum provides them a speciality in a particular field."
