Life on earth has been interdependent, is Engineering. Any stream of engineering essentially combines knowledge from different fields of science and engineering to a create a complete product or service. In this blog, we talk about one such branch of engineering, which is all set to play an instrumental role in the future of mankind– Electronics and Computer Engineering.
Electronics and computer engineering are naturally connected disciplines as the majority of the required classes for both the streams similar such as, mathematics, physics, programming, logic and design, electronics etc. The differences between the two programs might be more visible when students select their specializations for higher studies.
Electronics and computer engineering has become a popular career choice for the past few years due to the rising demand for the professionals trained in ECT in every field life and its immense potential to shape the world.
A B.Tech. degree in Electronics and Computer Engineering opens the door of unlimited opportunities in areas not only in computers or electronics alone, but also a range of other sectors; right from writing algorithms, software programs, working on a particular operating system and communicating with its hardware -understanding and knowing the complete working system is the gist of this particular branch of engineering.
Computer engineering alone deals with operating systems, computer hardware, networking, algorithms, software design etc. whereas only Electronics engineering deals with hardware part including microprocessor, microcontrollers, embedded systems, VLSI, signal processing, automatic control systems etc. Choosing degree in electronics and computer engineering is a no brainer as it gives us the best of both worlds.

Whichever field is chosen remember in today's competitive market you need to carve out a niche and acquire the following skills to excel in the chosen area:
