Engineering Domains

AMCAT's engineering domains modules cover all areas of engineering. Various manufacturing industry clients use a combination of these modules to assess the mixed breed of engineers they require for the diverse operations.

While an Automotive industry client would use mechanical engineering, paint technology and electrical engineering to select its young workforce, engineering companies evaluate their prospective employees on civil, mechanical and electrical engineering.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering assessment tests a student's skills, knowledge and understanding of the core principles/concepts in the branch of mechanical engineering. The assessment focuses on testing a student on theoretical knowledge as well as practical concepts which will help him/her perform well at job. The following topics are covered in this module:

• Thermodynamics & mechanics
• Theory of Machines and Machine Design
• Strength of Materials
• Steam Boilers, Compressors, Engines, Nozzles, Turbines, Gas Turbines
• Heat Transfer, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
• Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management

Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering assessment tests a student's skills, knowledge and understanding of the core principles/concepts in the branch of civil engineering. The assessment focuses on testing a student on theoretical knowledge as well as practical concepts which will help him/her perform well at job. The following topics are covered in this module:

• Building Materials and Construction
• Applied Mechanics
• Strength of Materials
• Hydraulics & Soil Mechanics
• Concrete Technology

Electronics and Semiconductors

The Electronics and Semiconductor test assesses the job suitability of the candidate in those companies which deal with Embedded Systems, VLSI design, SOC, etc. This test together with that of Computer Programming also assesses suitability of candidate for EDA companies. The module broadly consists of two sections:

• Analogue Electronics:
• Basic & Active Components, their operations and circuit analysis
• Frequency domain and time domain analysis of systems
• Opamp based circuits and analysis
• Digital Electronics:
• Boolean Algebra and Logic Gates
• Sequential Blocks, digital circuits and blocks
• State Machines & design of complex sequential circuits

Paint Technology

Paint technology assessment tests a student's skills, knowledge and understanding of the core principles/concepts in the branch of paint technology. The assessment focuses on testing a student on theoretical knowledge as well as practical concepts which will help him/her perform well at job.
