I am a doing first year electrical engineering in india. Many of my
friends teased me due to my discion of joining this branch saying tht
now there is no scope 4 electrical engiin. Plz can somebody tell me if
ths true??????
Yes. The whole World is going to stop using electricity, on May 21 2007.
You want a career with a future. How about gerbil-breeding? Lots of them
are going to be needed, in little wheels, to power our pneumatic, but
green, computers.
In 1946, while I was in high school, a friend, who was about to enter his
senior year at Pratt Institute studying engineering, said the same thing.
Not only that, he dropped out.
What does that prove? Very little.

Most of the engineering programs are the same for the first couple of years.
Like one of the other posters said,,,, we are going to stop using
electricity in 2007. Ya right.
Electrical engineering is just like any other field. You can go into power,
electronics, communication or a host of other areas. If this is your
decision then become the best that you can be. The jobs and money will
follow.
This is an electrical world- and becoming even more so. SQLit has said it
well. If EE is what you want -go for it and do it well.

Watchmaking will be back in vogue as well in 2007, to make the tiny
gears and levers the mechanical math co-processors will require. I can't
wait to sit back and watch my PC hum to life and see all the dials spin!

Maybe what they mean is that, in India, electrical engineering is no
longer the most profitable or marketable degree. And there may be some
truth to that, I'm not an expert beyond personal experience with
outsourced engineering.
However, in Indian colleges (in fact colleges everywhere) there have
been far too many students entering the field for purely monetary
reasons. These students drag down the quality of the classes and come
out disinterested and unoriginal thinkers.
If you truly want to be an electrical engineer and have real interest,
by all means PLEASE ignore your friends and keep going! It will be an
uphill battle marketing yourself to those used to the standard
engineer-by-rote crowd, but in a decade you'll be doing very well.
Hi Push,
Forget about Palindrome's saying. They are idiot.
You have to evaluate by yourself, and consider that energy is allways
required in industry. Nowadays, the best way for an industry to obtain
energy is not by water river or gas or petroleum. It is by electricity.
Use in your consideration the economic grow of your country, and the
number of people having that title. They are your competence. look at
the amount of other students in electrical engineering in your country,
they will be your competence.
Even so, you could start doing consulting in electrical engineering.
I know your country suffer from natural disasters every year. I think
that energy has to be restablished every time it happens. Even your
people may need reliable portatile power supply, in electric form.
Finally, look at everywhere and you will find that almost everything in
peoples homes and in the world work with electricity.
If you like the work area in electricity, you will enjoy your desition.
I wish wisdom for you. So, ask yourself, the older people that have
experience in the world and your student mates.
Regards,
Hernando.

We shall see. They said the same thing about Noah - but he knew his
gerbils and survived, unlike his neighbours with their electric
blankets- you don't see them mentioned in history books, do you?
Well done on your English! I was going to reply to you in Spanish but
there is no word for "irony" in Spanish. Ironical, that.

correct, its much too cold in May to stop using electricity. the true date
will be in August. (for the northern hemisphere: cascade failure will trip
out the southern hemisphere) Australia will still have cold beer until May
of the next year.
Niagara Falls and the Colorado river will be closed for cleaning.
look at all the nucular power plants in India... they will be your job.

can you sing "i am a lineman for the county" ?

kHz, or KHz, NOT "khz"; get it right. Also H and z are not two
different things; they are a person's last name. And you still
won't get a free habitat out of it.
nor free power either. you have to feed the little kritters. soon afterward
it will be discovered that larger and more exotic animals are needed to
provide the AMF (animal motive force) needed for equipment operations. when
its rediscovered that lots of energy is released during intercourse, KHZ
will come to mean Kangaroos Humping Zebras.
