 Okay Google, Alexa can be simply put to work by giving it the command.

From Telegram/Letter to video calls/Zoom video classes.

 

Do you imagine there was time we use letter to send messages and wait for long to get replies and now we can see and talk to the person sitting at far distance from us?

So this is science and technology that have changed the world, life styles, and brought remarkable changes which were unimaginable just a few years back..

When we talk about careers in Science we usually stop after Engineering, Architecture, Medical, Defence and so on.

So with the advancements, be it in any field like technology, medicine, design etc Study of Science plays a vital role.

 

So here we put light on some upcoming Careers-

 

Environmental Science-

Embracing the 3R’s, reduce, reuse, and recycle

Environmental scientists study subjects like the understanding of earth processes, evaluating alternative energy systems, pollution control and mitigation, natural resource management, and the effects of global climate change. Environmental issues almost always include an interaction of physical, chemical, and biological processes.

Environmental science lets you recognize that environmental problems such as climate change, global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rains, and impacts on biodiversity and marine life are not just national problems, but global problems as well. So, concerted effort from across the world is needed to tackle these problems.

Course of Study: A Bachelor of Environmental Management/Science or a B.Tech in Environmental Engineering followed by a master’s in the field are required.

 

Data Science, Big Data

Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. But it’s not the amount of data that’s important. It’s what organizations do with the data that matters. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.

In a 2017 report, LinkedIn ranked Data Scientists and Big Data Engineers among the top emerging jobs.

Manytimes we observe that the item on amazon we viewed or added to cart is now visible on my Facebook page as well.

Is this a magic?

So data scientist hired by the companies analyzes the data, pattern of shopping, patterns in data and enable decision making.

 

Course of Study: A degree in computer science (B.Tech/B.Sc/BCA) Or a degree in Statistics/mathematics will allow you to analyze data. Along with that, you can take up certifications in Business Analytics and Intelligence, Data Analytics and Data Science.

 

 

Agricultural Sciences and Food Sciences

The job opportunities in agriculture are enormous. They’re going to be ever-growing, because our population is ever-growing, and the agriculture sector is what feeds everyone every single day – it’s never going to stop,”

Career opportunities like food production, agronomy, and biotechnology and livestock science are all on offer. And if you want to be hands-on in a supporting role, the thriving agribusiness sector opens up business-focused roles like managing money (agribusiness banking) or selling premium seafood (agribusiness marketing).

Course of Study: To build a career in this field, a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Agriculture, Horticulture, Agronomy or any of the sub-fields of agriculture is required. You can also consider a B.Tech and M.Tech in Agricultural Engineering.

 

Research

Research as a profession is for those who want to transform tomorrow‘s technologies and want to create life-changing technologies.

Any plan to take up careers in research and development should begin at the very young age, preferably when opting for stream at the +2 or the higher secondary level. The students can then opt for an undergraduate degree program that imparts education in the field in which the students aspire to take up research. The duration of the undergraduate study is as follows:

 

  • 3 years for degree in Arts / science / Commerce / technology and application

  • 4 years for engineering and Technology studies

  • 5 years for medicine and related studies.

 

 

Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineers study, design, develops and evaluate biological and medical systems and products such as artificial organs, prostheses, medical instruments and information systems. Biomedical engineers work closely with life scientists, chemists and medical professionals (physicians, nurses, therapists and technicians) on the engineering aspects of biological systems.

Biomedical engineering is a vast field which incorporates the knowledge of each & every field of engineering. Our field provides solutions to medical problems using technology.

 

Ethical Hacking and Cyber Security

 

Cybersecurity risks are one of the biggest threats to any business. According to research by Allianz, it's actually the number one concern for risk management professionals around the world, ahead of business disruptions, legislation changes and natural disasters.

 

Ethical Hackers use the same techniques as criminals to try and gain access to your systems - except they won't steal any data and they'll tell you what you're doing wrong.

 

With businesses going digital, they are more vulnerable than ever before to cybersecurity threats. Hence, Ethical Hacking, no doubt, is one of the most demanding professions of today’s world. An Ethical Hacker is a computer and network expert who attempts to penetrate a company’s security system to identify weaknesses in it. They are crucial in helping companies improve their Internet security.

 

Course of Study: A background in computers is recommended. After that, you can take up certification courses in Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator and Certified Security Analyst.
