Industry overview:

Instrumentation engineering is one of the complicated but sophisticated branches of engineering discipline which deals with the control and measurement of the flow of charge in automated systems. The professionals who are involved in these activities are known as Instrumentation Engineers. This field of engineering equips you with knowledge of control and measurement of system for efficient productivity, reliability, safety and stability. Now a days the demand for a good Instrumentation Engineer is increased very much. For a good quality and speedy production all Industries are trying for automated machines and control equipments. Because of that the chance for instrumentation/control equipment designers, installers, operators, and analysers are increased a lot. The Instrumentation Engineer decides the type of instruments needed for ensuring better quality and efficiency of the end products, in any industrial undertaking.

Eligibility:

To pursue a career in instrumentation engineering one must have completed +2 Science with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with good percentages of marks in aggregate. Selections are generally made on the basis of entrance examinations conducted both at national and state level (e.g. IITJEE, AIEEE, BITSAT, KCET etc.). After qualifying the entrance exam one can take up BE/BTech in Applied Electronics & Instrumentation/ Electronics & Instrumentation/ Control & Instrumentation / Instrumentation Engineering which is of four years duration. One can also attain M.Tech Degree after completion of B.E./ B. Tech. Many diploma/ Certificate courses are also available in Instrumentation. After B. Tech many Industrial oriented courses are offering by many private institutions like PROFICIENT, PROLIFIC, IPCS, SEC, SIIT, DS Enterprises etc,.

A wide variety of M. Tech/ ME courses are available for Instrumentation graduates. Some of the courses are M. Tech/ ME in Control & Instrumentation, Instrumentation, Industrial Power & Automation, Robotics, Chemical Process Control, Process Control, Biomedical Instrumentation, Environmental Engineering, Power Systems, Embedded Systems etc,. In these M. Tech/ ME in Control & Instrumentation branch having a good chance in Process Industries like GINTAL, SAIL, HNL, Reliance, FACT, KRL, BHEL, Chemical Industries, Petroleum Industries etc, in India/ Abroad. But the most chances with high salary packages are offering by Gulf Countries. Gujrat, Mumbai and Pune are also a good place for Instrumentation Engineers.

Job Prospects & Remuneration:

Career opportunities in this are immense and challenging. There exist enough employment opportunities with user industries such as steel, chemical, thermal power stations, fertilizer, Petrochemicals, cement, refineries power industry and so on. The Instrumentation Engineer is more in demand in R&D Units of government, Defence and private sector. One can also explore employment opportunities with instrument manufacturers and the growing industrial automation industry. One may choose to move sideways into other career areas either within or outside their industry. This might include areas such as purchasing, sales, marketing, finance, HR, IT or general management.

These engineers can pursue consultancy-based work. Those who have an aptitude use their expertise they have gained in industry and engage in academic research in universities or acquire a tutoring/coaching role as a lecturer or trainer of instrumentation engineers.

The average starting monthly salary of instrumentation engineering graduates in India ranges between Rs. 10,000 – Rs.20, 000. Fresh graduates from elite technological institutions like Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Birla Institute of Technology get more remuneration as compared to others. Also many deemed universities are also getting more salary package. In the year of 2011, the students are selected from Deemed Universities with an average monthly package of 38,000/- and from IIT’s it’s around 45,000 pm.

Senior instrumentation experts with more than five years of working experience can earn anywhere between Rs 35,000 and Rs 85,000 per month or even more.

What is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (R3)

            Reduce, reuse and recycle (R3) are the three essential components of environmentally-responsible consumer behavior. R3 is sometimes called the waste hierarchy. Here's how that hierarchy might apply to computers:

·        The concept behind the first R, reduce, is that you should limit the number of purchases that you make in the first place. So, for example, you might limit your household to a single computer.

·        The concept behind the second R, reuse, is that you should reuse items as much as possible before replacing them. For example, it generally makes more environmental sense to update your computer rather than get rid of it and buy a new one. However, if you do replace your computer, you should ensure that it, or its components, are reused. Many charitable organizations welcome donations of second-hand computers.

·        The concept behind the third R, recycle, is that you should ensure that items or their components are put to some new purpose as much as possible. If your computer is not fit for reuse as is, you can donate it to one of several organizations, which will refurbish it or recycle its components.

Sometimes a fourth R is added to the three basic ones, generally standing for either "rethink" or "recover." Rethink is sometimes added to the front of the hierarchy, meaning that we should consider our options and think about their impact on the environment. Recover, which is the last R, refers to the practice of putting waste products to use. For example, decomposing garbage produces methane gas (one of the greenhouse gases), which some landfill sites recover and burn for energy rather than letting it dissipate.

Golden Rules about Classroom Management

1. Ensure that you have clearly stated rules and procedures with established consequences that are expected and reviewed regularly. All students must know the rules, routines and expectations.

2. Never continue on with instruction when the rules are being broken - pause, delay and ensure that you have your student's attention.

3. Catch your students using appropriate behaviour and praise them!

4. Use behaviour contracts when necessary and follow up with appropriate incentives.

5. Be sure that your instructional periods are NOT too long, students need to be mobile throughout the day.

6. Provide individual, personal cueing and prompts to certain students as needed. Sometimes just touching a student's shoulder will bring them back to task.

7. POST the important rules - keep it short, no more than 6 and refer to it often. These should be posted after the class has brainstormed them.

8. Make sure you are teaching to all the various learning styles your students have. A student who is not being reached is more likely to be a problem.
