Electronics Engineering : Introduction
Electronics Engineering is one of the largest and fastest growing field
of engineering. It covers a wide range of applications which make our
life easier and enjoyable such as Television, Radio, computers, telecommunication
etc. They helps us to see, hear and communicate over vast distances and
do things faster. Electronics has a major role in improving productivity
in industries like oil, energy, agriculture and so many other important
sectors of economy. In steel, petroleum and chemical industries it
is the electronic devices that direct, control and test production processes.
Health care industry depend on electronic instruments to perform chemical
tests and to check body functions. The safety in transportation, factories
and mines and in homes rely heavily on electronics.
An Electronics engineer must find new solutions to the practical problems
affecting our daily lives. An electronics engineer will work in team with
other specialists to design, fabricate, produce, test and supervise
the manufacture of complex products and systems i.e electronic equipments
and components for a number of industries including hospitals, computer
industry, electronic data processing systems for communication and in
defense etc. They supervise production and manufacturing processes
and oversee installation and maintenance. Electronics engineers work with
devices that use extremely small amounts of power. They work with microprocessors,
fibre optics, and in telecommunication, television, radio etc.
Electronics engineering is a constantly changing and widening branch of
the engineering profession. Electronics industry being a labour intensive
industry provides many job opportunities for the skilled job seekers.
Increased production and demand by government and businesses for communication
equipment, computers and military electronics along with consumer demand
and increased research and development on robots and other types of automation
contributes to the growth of employment opportunities in the field. Candidates
having a creative and inventive mind and also are good at physics and
mathematics will probably find electronics engineering a challenging
and lucrative career.
