Electronics Engineering is one
of the largest and fastest growing industries. It covers a
wide range of applications we use daily and 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. The uses are endless.
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.
