What are the present valuable and essential courses to ECE students, both in software and hardware?

We are moving towards automation. Technology is changing like never before. For example about each year we get a new edition of Apple phone in market which brings new technology in its every edition.
Particularly if you talk about Industries then Each & every work is simulated on software before converting it in tangible form. Simple why any one will spend a huge capital on those things about which he/she is not sure.
  • So is you are planning to join Industry just after your B.Tech do more focus on software Courses. And infact if I talk particularly in Electronic sector then hardware is something which can not be completed with out software.
  • You have to do programming for electronics components like Arduino, Microcontrollers, Antenna design etc. In simple words hardware & software complement each other.
Trend wise i will recommend you to learn Python first and then directly move on Internet of things. Definitely you will be in high demand if you learn these two things . Industries are open for Python programmers. Let me tell you about the opportunities which you can get after having the solid base in Python.
  • Backend developer job
  • Full stack web developer (Python+ Flask)
  • Text Analytics
these are only few you can get many more.
  • For the preparation of Interviews you can Go on Interview bit, its a best platform to crack software engineering interviews.
Now if you have command on python without any delay learn Django. You will simply double your job opportunities. Its use for web development. Django girls tutorials from here you can learn it.
  • Android : If you are keen about startups. And want to do startups or projects in both electronics as well as coding field. Learn it.
  • its not a simple task to open any startup which particularly belongs to electronics field. You can take the example of VLSI field. Number of companies are quite less in this domain .
  • So it make sense if you start any business particularly in this field(VLSI) because your competitors are less and product demand is high. But generally you will not found any company who start their business in Chip designing. There is only sole reason behind it because it require a huge capital and even a single designing mistake can destroy your entire business. That is why salary of Analog designers used to be high.
So android is the best option to create any app which you can link with your any electronics device which can be ultimately used by any person. Eg: Wearable healthcare devices.
  • IC Designing/VLSI: As i mentioned above that in ECE VLSI is that field which is highly in demand. So if you already have an edge in VLSI over others then you are gonna earn a lot.
  • In most of the Indian universities VLSI is basically taught to the students in their 7th or 8th semester. So if you learn IC designing before final year then you will surely get some advantage.
  • Labview: Although its not in trending but you can learn it because its easy to learn. Totally graphical programming based software. Whatever you do in C or java with commands most of the tasks you can do in this without even write a single line of code. Simply you have to use some graphical tools for the programming of Instructions.
  • MATLAB: Learn it if you want to go particularly in research domain. You can do many things in MATLAB because it offers various tools to perform many tasks. Generally it is used for Image Processing & signal processing operations.
Now in hardware there is nothing simply hardware you must have to learn some basic programming associated with that hardware.
  • CST: It is used for antenna designing. Actually its not so much in trend. But again its quite easy to learn as Labview. So if you learn it then you will have something differ to write in your resume. And personally what my suggestion is that if you can learn anything with less effort then learn it. Who knows it could grab a jackpot for you.
  • AVR: You will found bunch of students in your batch who will do this course. This course have had been in trending. But if you have interest then only go for it. Otherwise choose something else. Ultimately knowledge matters not the course. Its basically use for embedded system programming. Basic knowledge of C will required in it.
there are still many more like VHDL, Pspice, SCADA & many more.
But learn only that course in which your interest lies. So you will be able to do something new.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!!!!!!
