Some of the courses offered in engineering programs by most colleges are:  

Computer engineering

The need for an engineer or expert in computer science increases with the ever-expanding IT industry. The students learn important skills in software development, programming language, hardware management, coding, program designing, and project management. Several national and international companies offer lucrative job posts to computer engineers. Generally, the starting salary of a computer engineer in these top companies is quite good.

Electronic and communication

For those students who have a keen interest in signal systems, electrical circuits, power electronics, digital gadgets, etc. electronics and communications engineering is the best option for them. With the progress and growth of the electrical, mobile development, and telecommunication industry, career scopes of this subject seem to be blossoming. The starting salary of an electronic and communication engineer is also good.

Mechanical engineering

Considered as one of the oldest courses of engineering, it is still a craze amongst students who show interest in automobile, machinery, manufacturing, product design, etc. The job scope of this course is high. Graduates are being recruited by several manufacturing and engineering firms both in India and abroad. The starting salary of a mechanical engineer is quite good per annum, depending on the job profile.

Electrical engineering

Electrical engineering is considered as another course with bright career prospects. The students learn about several applications related to electricity so that they can, later on, find themselves placed in big companies like bridge or dam construction projects or even in electronic manufacturing units.

Civil Engineering

When it comes to the planning, construction, design, and maintenance of structures, a civil engineer is the best person to go about it. A student is trained well in these subjects so that they can take up any construction project with ease. Projects like bridges, highways, tunnels, roads, dams, pathways, park constructions, etc. are included. Moreover, to overcome issues of pollution and overcrowding, there is an increasing need for talented civil engineers and city planners to maintain harmony in the city. If students go with this degree, there are enough job prospects for a civil engineer.

Along with these five basic branches of engineering, several applied aspects have come up over the years. These include chemical, biomedical, aeronautical engineering to name a few.
