Industrial automation systems design, embedded system design and VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) system design are suitable higher-study options for meritorious B.Tech. holders in Electronics / Instrumentation / Electrical Engineering. Graduates in applied electronics and instrumentation are also eligible. There is much scope for automation engineers.
Stiff competition, evolution of higher quality standards and growing concern for safety and the environment have led to the adoption of state-of-the-art automation techniques.
The recent trend of merging control systems associated with both factory and process automation demands knowledge of diverse fields. Automation applications span plant automation, discrete and batch process control, embedded machine control and manufacturing production line automation. Industrial automation applications include automation of time critical systems that demand precise real-time reading and control.
Qualified automation engineers are needed to design appropriate automation systems. But one needs to have knowledge of diversified areas such as PC/PLC-based controls, Instrumentation, H/W, S/W, networking, industrial AC drives, machine vision, SCADA/HMI, high-speed data acquisition; RTOS etc, to become a successful automation engineer.
