How to choose best engineering college?

If you have written EAMCET and planning to study engineering, several key factors will influence your admission:
1) The type of engineering branch you will choose
2) The quality of the school
3) The prospects for jobs or higher education after engineering
4) Your personal preferences for college facilities, living and studying
5) Year of Establishment
6) No. of successful branches passed out
7) Placement details
8) Participation of students and faculty in seminars
9) Accreditation of the course
10) Approval of the college by AICTE and the affiliating university

This section will help you in exploring these issues.

Selecting an Engineering College:
There are about 500+ colleges under different Universities across the AP state. Which college should you choose?

The first step is to make decisions about your personal preferences. You may want to attend a college that is nearer to your home or a college that is far away. You may want a college in the rural or urban area. Obviously the expenditure of the college is a major factor, and University colleges are less expensive than private colleges. Once you make some of these decisions, you are then ready to consider the potential advantages of specific colleges.


Engineering Disciplines
Engineering is composed of many fields of specialization. Nowadays, many new fields of engineering have been added as each new innovation demands new types of engineering graduates to join industry. Change is a constant in the engineering industry and this is reflected in the engineering curriculum. As you look around your home and work, almost everything you see involves equipment and services that have been created by engineers.

Electrical engineering comprises the largest of all engineering disciplines (25%) and deals primarily with devices that are involved in changing energy from one form to another. Electrical engineers specialize in power transmission, designing and building electricity generators, transformers, and electric motors. They also design radios, televisions, computers, antennas, controllers, and communications equipment. These engineers contributed significantly in developing many of the discoveries connected with electronic equipment, such as computers, telephones, and televisions. A new field within electrical engineering is wireless engineering, which has developed in response to the need for engineers who can work effectively in the mobile world. For example, the computers, phones and other inventions designed by these engineers help us communicate effortlessly with one another irrespective of distances.

Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines since it concerns itself with the design and construction of public infrastructure and services. Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of bridges , airports, dams, buildings, canals, and water and sewage systems. In addition, they conduct research to optimize the composition of roadsurfaces (such as tar, asphalt, etc.), study skyscraper disasters, abd work to ensure the structural integrity of buildings. Civil engineering includes specialized areas of practice such as structural engineering, construction engineering and management, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic and water resources engineering, and environmental engineering. Buildings, bridges, roads, and other infrastructure designed by these engineers keep us comfortable in our homes and workplaces and help us travel from one part of the country to another quickly and efficiently.

Mechanical engineering is a very broad area of activity that is involved whenever any machinery is being designed and constructed. Mechanical engineers design and manufacture engines, vehicles, machine tools, power plants, consumer items, and systems for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration. The machines designed by these engineers move and lift loads,transport people and commodities, and produce energy.

Chemical engineering is concerned with the design and operation of processing plants that convert materials from one form to another using chemical processes. These engineers design equipment to process petroleum, coal, ores, corn and/or trees into refined products such as gasoline, heating oil, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and paper. For example, they are responsible forconverting crude oil into petrol, kerosene, fertilizers, and many other products that we use every day.

Industrial/Production engineering deals with the efficient, safe, and effective design of plants and offices. These engineers develop, design, install, and operate integrated systems involving people, machinery, and information to produce either goods or services. They are best known for designing and operating the assembly lines that are widely used in manufacturing. We feel the impact of their work when we go to crowded places such as stadiums, but are able to safely and comfortably enjoy watching games alongside thousands of other fans.

Aerospace engineering deals with all aspects of machines that are designed to fly at many different speeds and altitudes, including vehicles that operate in the atmosphere and in space, such as airplanes and space craft. For example, aerospace engineers have designed drone aircraft that fly unmanned missions over hostile territory to drop missiles on targets with pinpoint accuracy, thereby avoiding the need for direct combat operations by troops.

Computer science engineering involves the design and implementation of digital systems and the integration of computer technology into other applications. These engineers design and build computers, network them together, write operating system software, and write application software. For example, the software that was used to write the materials in this text was developed by computer science engineers.

Biochemical engineers combine their knowledge of biological processes with chemical engineering to produce food and pharmaceuticals and to treat wastes. Materials engineers work with different materials such as ores, ceramics, plastics, composites, and metals in order to develop materials that can be used by other engineers. Agricultural engineers help farmers efficiently produce food and fiber. Nuclear engineers design systems that employ nuclear energy. Architectural engineers combine the engineer’s knowledge of structures, materials, and acoustics with the architect’s knowledge of building esthetics and functionality. Biomedical engineers combine traditional engineering fields with medicine and human physiology to develop prosthetic devices, artificial kidneys, pacemakers, and artificial hearts.
