Could you please give us a few more details, so we can assist you?

As this site is peopled by engineers all over the world, it would help if you tell us which country you wish to consult in.

Also, which field of engineering would you like to consult in?

Thanks,

Mark

India is blossoming. Soon, if not already (due to ongoing massive takeovers of US and European manufacturing) it will be the country in the world to reckon with for export of technology in both mechanical and electronic fields, at least as promising if not more so than China. It's because although China now has the balance of new trade due to inexpensive manufacturing facilities, India has been building more depth in terms of upcoming home-grown students and graduates. The team with the greatest depth usually builds the champions.

It is very difficult for an Asian engineer to move into the North American milieu. But, since Europe is wide open to Europeans, my advice would be to choose a situation there, beginning with an Asian-positive country for emmigration and professional equivalency, and then going directly to England to work for some American or Canadian (or possibly Brazillian)-owned company with head offices in England. The possiblity of upward mobility in a field such as yours would be much greater, in my opinion.

When you have accumulated enough experience and wealth, move back to India, and start an industry there. Then, some day when you are very successful, try to remember the 'little people' (school chums, teachers, relatives, neighbours) who were your friends along the way, and give back to the community.

Perhaps somebody in here can suggest a route for you to follow to establish a European base.

Hi , I guess Cement industry has a lot of instrumentation, controls & automation...Industrial Automation is a new ermerging field you may look into...consultency need higher competency...many consultencts gain it through more & more projects they aid...

wish you all the very best...

In U.S. take EIT thats (engineer in training) exam. then take PE (professional engineer)exam after 5 years. With PE stamp you can become a consulting engineer.
