Future-proof engineers

Here are two part-time postgraduate programmes that offer students a competitive edge

No matter what stage one is at, it is imperative to keep the learning going for one’s growth. Many have started equipping themselves with new-age technical and communication skills through short-term courses. This is true of the engineering field as well, which driven by innovation, critical analysis, foresightedness, and creative thinking.

Part-time courses are gaining popularity, as they enable learners to upskill and reskill themselves by providing flexible learning options and also offer a competitive edge. Some institutions even offer part-time M.Tech. programmes that allow candidates to complete their Master’s over three years instead of the traditional two. Here are two select part-time postgraduate programmes that young engineers can consider:

This course has been designed to help the learners expand their knowledge base and gain a global perspective with regard to different segments of wireless, data, mobile, and optical communications. The course blends conventional Electrical, Electronics and Communication Engineering with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and also delves into the application of recent advances in Smart Agriculture, Precision Farming using sensor networks, Industrial Automation, Disease Prediction and Patient Monitoring and the use of wearable devices. It is connected to current industry dynamics, as developing wireless and mobile network technology offers students promising career prospects likeDigital Signal Processing Specialist, Network Engineer, Industry Automation Engineer, and IoT (Internet of Things) Design engineer in an MNC, private or public sector, or as an entrepreneur. The Wireless Network Industry has grown tremendously, especially the domain which supports Wifi standards for WLANs, Bluetooth Protocols for WPANs, Wireless Sensor Networks, Wearables, Body Area Networks (BAN), promote designs for smart homes, smart campuses and smart cities using Zigbee Networks and 5G technologies.
