More often than not the students end up making wrong decisions; by the time that realization dawns it will be too late to change the track, resulting in mediocrity, work-dissatisfaction, frustration and under-achievement. It is a fact that this area has not received proper treatment in career guidance. Most career guides do not provide enough information or insight to help make a well-informed decision making. The ordinary career guides are not to be faulted with for their limitations as they are mostly written by non-engineers who may have little inside knowledge about the intricate world of engineering. This has prompted this author, who is a post-graduate in electrical engineering with both industrial and teaching experience, to bring out this comprehensive and simple-to-read career guide based on first hand information, insights and personal experiences for career aspirants to know and understand engineering closely enough to make a well-educated career decision. The guide provides an in-depth analysis about engineering profession and overview of engineering branches, beginning with who can opt for engineering in the first place, and includes overview of each branch, the scope of each branch and how to identify one's area of interest in choosing a stream. Besides, many useful tips too have been provided to help the undergraduate student make his/her engineering course a successful one and come out with flying colors.
