Career in Robotics: Article by Farzad Minoo Damania (Career Counsellor - Mumbai)

You can read the entire transcript of the article below:

Whether it is Hollywood movies like Wall-e, Robocop, Terminator, i-Robot, Transformers ... or our own Rajinikanth’s movie Endhiran – The Robot; film makers have always been fascinated with making movies related to robots and artificial intelligence. Farzad Minoo Damania, Career Counsellor at Career Nurturer (www.careernurturer.com) gives us an insight into career in robotics.

The growing role of robots in everything ranging from cleaning carpets, conducting medical surgeries, working in dangerous toxic conditions, to space exploration; suggests that there is a need for young and talented robotics engineers. Robotics is used in various fields such as manufacturing, transportation, distribution, military, security, education, medicine, space travel, and home activities.

Robotics is an interdisciplinary field. To make a robot, you need inputs from various domains of electronics, mechanics, computer software, control systems, and embedded systems. Other than these traditional engineering subjects, other subjects like biology, psychology and cognitive sciences, mathematics and chemistry also have wide role in robotics studies.

What is my job role?

As a robotics engineer, you will be designing robots, developing new applications for robots, performing maintenance and repair work, and conducting research on future developments and better utilization of existing robotic systems. You could be working as an automation system engineer by applying the principles of robotics in manufacturing and assembly line.

Is this me?

Like any other engineer, robotics engineer should also possess strong analytical and logical reasoning skills. You should have an aptitude for science and technology with understanding of concepts of electronics, mechanics and programming. As you will be working with devices, circuits and machines, you should have a practical hands-on approach to work. You should be methodical, focussed and self-motivated. This is a challenging job profile so persistence, determination, creativity and out of box thinking are essential.

What to study?

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are specializations offered at post-graduation level. You need to begin with a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or Technology (B.E. or B.Tech.) after your 12^th Science (PCM). You may consider doing your B.E./B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering to develop strong fundamentals. After your graduation, you may pursue M.E./M.Tech. in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence either in India or abroad.

Where to study?

Some universities offering M.E./M.Tech. with specialization in robotics are – Indian Institute of Technology – Kanpur, National Institute of Technology – Hyderabad, MS University – Baroda, Osmania University – Hyderabad, BITS – Pilani, Sri SathyaSai Institute of Higher Learning – AP, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies – Dehradun, Jadavpur University – Kolkata, Thapar University – Patiala.

What are my job avenues?

It is said that there is not much scope for robotics engineers in India; but scenario is changing. Here is a list of few companies in India that recruit robotics and AI engineers: Precision Automation Robotics India Limited (PARI), Tata Advance Systems, Kuka-Robotics, Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz Limited (HRSL), DiFACTO Robotics and Automation, GridBots Technologies, Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

How much will I earn?

As there is a demand-supply mismatch in this field, you may get a good salary package after you complete your post-graduation course. Starting salaries can range between 3 lakh to 7 lakh per annum. With few years of experience, you can expect remuneration of above 10 lakh per annum.

You can read the entire transcript of the article below:

Do you enjoy reading crime novels on Sherlock Homes and Miss Marple? Or watching crime drama TV shows like CID, Crime Patrol, and CSI? Are you fascinated by the way they solve various crime puzzles from things like hair, autopsies, body tissues, nails, and foot prints? How about you being one of these crime solving forensic experts?

Here’s a complete low down on what the career in forensic sciences is actually like.

About the author:

Farzad Minoo Damania is a Career Counsellor at Career Nurturer

www.careernurturer.com

What is Forensic Science?

Forensic Science is the application of principles of science and technology for investigation of crime. As a forensic scientist you will either investigate crimes by collecting and analysing physical evidence found at the crime site; or perform laboratory analysis using scientific and technical methods to identify and classify evidence. You will be meeting various experts (fingerprint, handwriting, medical, chemical, ballistics) to discuss and interpret your findings. You might be reconstructing the entire crime scene to figure out how pieces of evidence are related. You will then write and present your findings, and if required testify in trails and hearings in court.

Is this the career for you?

Since you are playing an investigative role, you need to have good observation skills, an eye for minute details, deep thinking, intellectual curiosity, strong problem solving ability, and aptitude for scientific analysis. You will be working either in a laboratory or at the crime scene – thus you should be willing to work odd and long hours. You should possess good team spirit to work closely with other experts from fields of psychology, social work, law, sociology and statistics. Mental strength, handling emotional distress, dedication and personal integrity are some other traits necessary for working in this field. You need to be emotionally mature and should have a strong stomach as some crime scenes can be very unpleasant, also giving verification in court can be stressful. So this career is not for the faint hearted.

What to study?

There are several career paths available for pursuing a career in forensic sciences. If you want to be a forensic scientist then you may consider B.Sc. in Forensic Sciences or Physical or Biological Sciences and then pursue M.Sc. in Forensic Sciences. To become a forensic pathologist, you first pursue your M.B.B.S. and then follow up with an M.D. in Forensic Medicine. Those who are interested in pursuing criminology as a career option, can pursue graduation in arts or science, and then pursue M.A. /M.Sc. in criminology. Entrance exams may be applicable for admission to the graduate and post-graduate courses.

Where to study?

Some of the universities offering courses in forensic sciences and criminology are Amity University – Noida, Dr. Hari Singh Gour University – Sagar, Gujarat Forensic Sciences University – Gandhinagar, LNJN National Institute of Criminology & Forensic Science – Delhi, Punjabi University – Patiala, University of Mysore – Mysore, and Panjab University – Chandigarh.

What are your job roles?

Depending on your coursework, you may work in one of the following areas. Crime scene investigation, forensic psychology, forensic serology, forensic pathology (post-mortem), forensic medicine, forensic anthropology, handwriting analysis, forensic toxicology, and forensic odontology (dentistry), forensic reconstruction, and crime laboratory analysis are some of the job roles in this field.

Where can you find job?

Government Agencies such as Central Bureau of Investigation, Forensic Laboratories, Documentation Examination Laboratories, National Human Rights Commission, Research and Analysis Wing, Intelligence Bureau, Narcotics Department, Forest and Wildlife Departments, and Police Departments are the main recruiters in this field. You may also find employment in private detective agencies, NGOs, juvenile shelters, banks and insurance firms, judiciary and courts, rehabilitation centres, and universities.

Career in Food Technology and Food Processing - by Farzad Damania [Career Counsellor in Mumbai]

Career Options in Food Technology

Farzad Minoo Damania – Career Counsellor and Founder – Career Nurturer provides insights into the field of Food Technology and Food Processing in India.

Check out the newspaper article publication in Parsi Times Newspaper dated 4^th January 2014, on the topic: Career in Food Technology - “Be a Food Techie!”

Article Title: Be a Food Techie!

Article Date: 4^th Januaryr, 2014

Article on: Parsi Times Newspaper

Article Author: Farzad Minoo Damania (Career Counsellor - Mumbai)

You can read the entire transcript of the article below:

P.T. Contributor Farzad Minoo Damania tells you how to take your love for food to a rather technical level!

In today’s age of hustle and bustle, our grocery shopping carts are normally filled with ready to eat food packets, two minute instant noodles, granola bars, flavoured dahi, and canned fruit juices. Also, those who are diet and health conscious are always hunting for nutritious, enriched and fortified food products. Would you like to get into a career field that deals with manufacturing, processing, preservation and packaging of these food products? If you find food as a fascinating subject to study; then you may consider a career in food technology and food processing.

What is this field about?

Food technology is not a new concept. It has been practised since many decades. You might have heard about Louis Pasteur – who introduced the concept of pasteurization in the 18th century to prevent the spoilage of wine and milk. Food technology uses the concepts of chemistry, nutrition, microbiology and engineering to produce food articles that are edible, long lasting and supplemented with nutrients.

What will be your day-to-day activities at work?

As a food technologist or food scientist, you will have to research on improving methods of preservation, storage, packaging and distribution of food products. You need to inspect and develop standards for food quality, safety and sanitary regulations throughout the production process. Also during product development, you will work closely with engineers, plant operators, marketing experts, and flavour experts to solve problems arising in the product development cycle.

What you need to study?

You need to pass your 12th in science with physics, chemistry, biology and maths as subjects. You may then take the engineering path or the basic sciences path. You may pursue B.Tech. in Food Technology, or B.Sc. in Basic or Applied Sciences (such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Agriculture, Biology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, or Food Sciences). This can be followed by M.Sc. in Food Technology and Food Science. Some of the colleges offering these courses are CFTRI – Mysore, UDCT – Mumbai, IIT – Khargapur, and Amity University – Noida. Entrance exams may be applicable for both undergraduate and post-graduate course admissions.

Do you have these qualities?

Some of the personality traits required to excel in the field of food technology are – inclination to research, scientific mindset, interest in learning about technological developments, good problem solving ability, observation power and accuracy. Also you need to possess ability to work independently and also be a good team player.

What are your Job Avenues?

Food technology is considered as a sunrise sector in India. Our country is a major producer of grains, milk, vegetables and fruits; and we need food technologists to help overcome post-harvest losses and bring about new developments in food processing and preservation industry. So there won’t be dearth of job opportunities in the field of food technology. Since awareness of this career is low, competition is not intense. You may find employment in food research laboratories, quality control departments, food processing companies, dairy industries, packaging units, hotels, catering and bakery departments, soft drink factories, distilleries, rice mills, and hospitals.

How much will you earn?

Students after completing their M.Sc. in Food Sciences may start with a salary of Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh. You could be working in different sections such as quality assurance, packaging and labelling, product evaluation, market research, laboratory supervision, food safety auditing, and product development.
