Apart from Computer Science, courses like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning are very popular among today's students

Besides Computer Science, courses like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning are very popular among today's students. The primary reason for this is that since such courses are applicable to all sectors like mechanical, health care, banking, travel, there are increasing opportunities for graduates in these fields internationally!

Core Engineering

But for the new technical courses, the prospects for core engineering courses are also bright. Industries in our country focus not only on production but also on research and development. In terms of infrastructure facilities in educational institutes, producing IT engineers does not require huge investments. But the infrastructure facilities for the core engineering courses need to be continuously upgraded and therefore requires more investments. 

Today's students should try to solve any social problems. Then, project-based process education knowledge, multidisciplinary knowledge and research skills will improve. They will shine in the future as innovative thinkers and experienced. It is applicable to students of all departments.

Anna University has introduced the necessary changes so that the students can develop the skills required by the companies and the employability skills in each field depending on the curriculum. So, engineering aspirants need not worry about the skills. Today, few educational institutions guide students on what skills development courses to study and how to do projects in each semester. Along with them, students should also develop the ability to solve problems during the course of four years of study. It would be excellent to learn foreign languages. 

Girls can also achieve

Although higher education in our country has developed well, the number of female students opting for engineering is still low. Though there are a good number of admissions taking place in Computer Science course, the admission in Mechanical and Civil Engineering courses is dwindling. In contrast, the fact is that the female students have studied in such fields climb up the ladder of success faster . 

Manufacturing companies in China, Japan, Korea and European countries are largely automated. Such an environment is also developing in our country. Hence, there is no need to handle machines in an unsafe condition. As robots, modern machines, sensors, and imaging are used in most of fields, the safety of the women is certain. Apart from private companies, government companies also have huge opportunities and growth.
