Careers in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering
Electronic Instrumentation engineering is specialized branch of electrical and electronic engineering, which focuses on the principle, and operation of measuring instruments, process control which are used in design and configuration of automated systems. These engineers work for industries with automated processes, such as chemical or manufacturing plants, with the goal of improving system productivity, reliability, safety, optimization and stability. Instrumentation Engineers help in the designing, construction and maintenance of instruments and entire instrumentation systems of an industrial undertaking. An instrumentation engineer decides the type of instruments needed for ensuring better quality and efficiency of the end product.
The scope of instrumentation Engineering is vast, and appears to be growing ,in the part due to the increased use of automatic control in manufacturing and process plants. Growth is also tied to the development of more accurate and more robust sensors ,which allows us to detect phenomena of interest (such as the presences of minute levels of toxins in food) with much higher precision than what we could do a generation ago.
Nature of work
A control and instrumentation engineer is essentially responsible for designing ,developing ,installing ,managing and/or maintaining equipment which is used to monitor and control engineering systems ,machinery and process .Tasks and responsibilities ,which are common to instrumentation engineers may include
•Designing and developing new control systems
•Maintaining and modifying existing systems
•Managing operations
•Solving
•Understanding and ensuring compliance with the health and safety regulations and quality standards
•Proving advice and consultancy support
•Purchasing equipment’s
•Writing computer software
•Developing new business proposals
•Domain expert in IT industries
•Working collaboratively with design engineers, operation engineers ,purchasers and other internal staff
•Utter software project management within cost and time constrained environments
•Troubleshooting
