“Automation is great as long as you know where the machine can be positioned precisely”.
We define automation as “Development and application of technology to monitor and regulate the production and delivery of products and services”. Automation and ‘thinking machinery’ replace human tasks and jobs and shift the skills that companies need in their employees. It encompasses many imperative elements, systems, and job functions. Automation comprises all functions within the industry, from installation, integration and maintenance to design, procurement and management.
Present Age of Automation & IT
We live in the era of fast-paced technology that paved the way for Automation, to the point where human interference has become unnecessary. If something can be achieved by giving only a kind of “Start Signal” (for example, by pressing a button) without human intervention, this can be called automation.
In today’ world, we can see the revolutionary changes in the field of IT such as: Internet of Things (IOT), Cloud computing and contemporary practices etc. It involves a wide range of technology, including robotics and expert systems, telemetry and communication, electro-optics, Cybersecurity, process measurement and control, sensors, wireless applications, system integration, test measurement and much more.
Changing Scenario of Engineering Education over last 10 years
Today, the significance of Engineering has developed at a burning speed. In the modern era, engineering has left its footprint everywhere. From construction to aeronautics, medicine to environment, and even the chair you are sitting in, engineering is all around.
Now you can know about the changing engineering scenario from the following discussions:
Today, Electrical Engineering not only involves in electrical appliances but also involves in a computer, electronics, communication and mechanical fields. Modern advances in electrical engineering have illuminated, conversant, and associate the world, from light bulbs and television to cell phones and GPS.
Electronic gadgets, without a doubt, have become 21st century’s greatest fascination. Why not, then? They have made our lives so easy and our lifestyle so efficient! Taking educational reach into account, new technical innovations are coming up every day in today’s world. These new inventions are carried out by engineers.
Mechanical Engineering touches almost every phase of modern life, from mobile phones and biomedical devices to aircraft and power plants. One of the most significant engineering subdivisions is mechanical engineering because, without it, many of the technology we use every day would not be available.
In the past 10 years, the intake and exit rate of (so-called) engineers has increased by almost 200 percent. Right now, India is producing engineers more than US and China producing engineers together.
Inclination of students towards Computer Science and its derived streams
Technology advancements in today’s world have attracted students towards computer science and its derived streams. The IT field is growing so fast that newer options will probably be available by the time you’re ready to start working. Today, the world is increasingly data-driven. Data Analytics is a vast field of computer science engineering, so that students are also encouraged to pursue a career in computer science engineering. However, the Data Analytics field also offers enormous job opportunities for different fields.
Due to high traffic towards cyber streams, students accompanied by their families are creating a rat race. By getting infatuated towards cyber streams, students often forget that other fields of engineering are existing as well.
Make in India Initiative by 2025
“Make in India” is great, but “Make it happen in India” is not less than a hard nut to crack.
Make it happen in India is more than manufacturing, it’s about training, education, societal development, automation and engineering. India as a manufacturing hub will become more advance in sector of technology and as a result of which the need of engineers is assumed to be at its peak by 2025.
By 2025, the plan aims at increasing the manufacturing sector’s contribution from its present 16% to 25% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Make in India has brought in many new policies that promote FDI, enforce intellectual property rights and improve the manufacturing sector.
Integrating Computer & IT with Core Streams can boost the Make in India initiative
In today’s world, if we compare the impact of computers on society with other major technologies and try to argue, then we conclude that computers have the greatest impact. The main focus will be on how computer technologies are linked to core streams and to every aspect of our daily lives. Following are the advantages of amalgamating core streams with IT:
SRMS Roadmap-Amalgamation of Computer & IT with Core Engineering Streams
From the above discussion, we conclude that Integrating Computer & IT with Core Streams can boost the Make in India initiative. As a result of advancements in technology, the SRMS College of Engineering & Technology highlights the rapid spread of digital technologies and their potential value to the Indian economy. At SRMS, we trained vibrant minds and converted them into innovative technocrats and cyber freaks.
SRMS plays a major role in integrating Core Engineering streams with Computer and Information Technology. To meet the requirements of the students, SRMS introduces Industry Exposure Programme, Internet of Things (IOT): Technology for a Smart Environment, Industrial Automation through PLC SCADA. It also organizes Entrepreneurship Development Programmes to improve the entrepreneurial skills of the students. These skills are brought to the fore with SRMS CET’s Innovation &Incubation Cell and Start up Cell. These cells encourage faculty members and students to submit innovative ideas while the Tinkering Lab and e-Lab gives space for students to conceptualize and develop their ideas.
At last we conclude that SRMS College of Engineering and Technology provides project based learning through exposure to funded projects. It offers training to future endeavors through excellent faculties for reshaping technology enthusiasts into cyber innovators in order to solve future problems. All the Best!!
