1. Electronics Engineering
Electronic Engineering, noun; a branch of engineering that deals with the design, fabrication, and operation of circuits, electronic devices, and systems. (Dictionary.com)
“Electronics Engineering is a fast progressing profession and the main force in the advancement of information in technology.” (STEPS, 2013). Electronics Engineering or also known as Electronics and Communication Engineering is a 5 year course that focuses on conceptualization, designing, modelling, and improvising of present electronics, and the processes and systems of products that focuses on computer and communications.
Electronics Engineers are the ones who lead in building electronics appliances and gadgets. Their inventions ranges from simple house tools and appliances up to the high-tech inventions like rocket ships and stations. ECE’s are also the one responsible for the possibility of long-distance communications using signals as medium of communication.
According to Jackson, “A high level of knowledge on the field of Mathematics and Science is needed together with perseverance in order to be successful on the path of being an Electronics Engineer.” (2010)
II. How to be an ECE
Being an ECE is not a walk in the park. It is a long road and a hard one at that. A lot of major subjects should be taken up and be passed in order to become an ECE. Some of these are that following Economics with Taxation & Land Reform, Engineering Economy with Accounting, Environmental and Safety Engineering, Electronic Circuit Analysis and Design, Instrumentation and Measurement, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Mechanics of Deformable Bodies, Logic Circuit & Switching Theory, Illumination Engineering Design, Electronic Devices and Circuits, Fee...

...present technology we have now and ways to improve it.
Because it is the newest type of engineering many ways of how to master the course is offered. This is because of the constant change in the course’s study. Being an ECE have its edges. One of it is having less competition than other jobs because ECE are still a bit fewer than other engineering courses being new and all. Also, we are living in a world where technology is present and evolving according to people’s needs. That’s why ECE’s will always be needed. Their knowledge and skills about making and improving technology at present is a vital part of today’s technology.
As long as technology is present, the course BS ECE will never die out. For when technology improves ECE’s knowledge follows for they are directly proportional to each other. This maybe the greatest advantage and edge of ECEs on other courses.
Engineering and technology as people think is not the easy area of study, but it is always demanded the most in the future because that field is not everyone’s cup of tea, and you need to have a very good focus and time management planning skills for that. You always stand different in the crowd if you can work and make a career in that particular field.
...egories: basic engineering, energy conversion, energy resources, engineering & technology management, environment and transportation, manufacturing, materials and structures, systems and design (Careercornerstone.org, n.d.). The role of an engineers in society is to take a mathematical or scientific problem and solve in a way that improves the quality of life within society as a whole.
Engineers are people, just different kinds of people. Engineers are the thinkers of our modern culture. They are the ones who come up with solutions to problems. However, a common occurrence is that with all the education comes a slight downfall. Engineers are very good at details but often need someone to gather all those small yet very vital details, into one big picture.
Engineering is one of the more respected college degrees in the work force in society today. There are many reasons why engineering has earned so much respect and it can all be attributed to the hard work, dedication, time, and attitude of the engineers. Being an engineer is more than just being the smartest guy or girl in the room. To be a successful engineer, one has to learn how to deal with failure and accept failure but strive to improve next time. A successful engineer will not give up, even when things get hard and seem impossible, engineers always push and aim for success.
The word engineer comes from the latin word ingeniare. ingeniare means construct or craftsmanship. Ever since the beginning of time we have had engineers. Engineering is the combination of math and science , solving world problems to help better the world around us. Being an engineer takes a lot of knowledge, creativity, and hard work. A typical engineer can clearly see a problem and is capable of fining a solution. A senior engineer or engineering manager usually doesnt do as much technical work, but usally lot of managing. Some of the first official engineers were military engineers. They were employed by the goverment to build such things as roads, bridges, and weapons. US mililary Academy at Westpoint was the first school to offer an education in enginnering. Engineering is a very broad field. Engineers are always at a high demand, we could never have enough brilliant minds making the world better. Engineers are needed everywhere. Engineering managers have to have a bachelor's degree or higher, they usually direct and seek solutions to problems and are sometimes called executi...
My decision to become an electrical engineer was not a decision I took too long ago. It is something that I decided to pursue when I entered a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) high school. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed working with computers and building circuits, and the fact that this career involved many subjects. Doing a lot of research to understand better what it meant to be an Electrical Engineer, I found out that in order to succeed in this career one had to know a little bit of everything. In other words, subjects such as science and math are essential to know if someone wants to be successful electrical engineer. An electrical engineer is someone who finds practical solutions to everyday problems that involve electricity, such as computers, cell phones, among other electrical equipments. In order to create a useful device one must know where to start and this is where science comes in. An electrical engineer must be able to use the scientific method, which means; one must form a procedure, test it out, and write a conclusion. These parts of the scientific method must be written clearly, so that others can recreate and test out a device or project. Math also plays a key role in this area of study, because one must be precise when creating a new device that others are going to use. For example, if one were to create a new type of cell phone one must know a lot of math in order to be able to progr...
Possessing the basic knowledge in the field of physical sciences and the intuition in them made me to pick up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my majors for the Higher Secondary Education. After the completion of my secondary education, I felt that engineering was the only field which can transform and transfer my dreams in the field of sciences into a real one and also it would give me an opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are appl...
These academic programs include classroom, lab, and field studies. They commonly focus on engineering basics, geology, and thermodynamics. Work experience gained through cooperative education programs that award academic credit for job experience is also highly valued by employers. A solid foundation in math and science is excellent preparation for college studies. College graduates may take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam immediately to validate their technical expertise and academia. Engineers who pass this exam are called engineers in training (EITs) or engineer interns (EIs). After gaining four years of work experience, EITs and EIs can go on to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to qualify for licensure
Engineers are valuable assets to any company because they think analytically. Engineers may advance to become technical specialists or to supervise a staff or team of engineers and technicians. Some eventually become engineering managers or enter other managerial or sales jobs.
Electrical Engineers research, develop, design, and test electronic components, products, and systems for commercial, industrial, medical, military, and scientific applications (Cosgrove 749). They are concerned with devices that use small amounts of electricity that make up electronic components such as integrated circuits and microprocessors. By applying principles and techniques of electronic engineering they design, develop, and manufacture products such as computers, telephones, radios, and stereo systems (EGOE, 121). Electrical engineers touch everyone lives through the things they have designed or created. Electrical engineers have invented the lights in your house, the television, the stereo, the telephone, computers, and even your doctor’s blood pressure gauge (Stine 300).
My fascination towards Electronics N Communication basically developed in the 12th when I took part in a science exhibition. I was then fascinated with the complexities of different structures and their working. The i...
Although there are a plethora of possible careers that I am capable of pursuing, I am particularly interested in a career as either an electrical engineer or a software developer. Electrical engineers fall within the Career Cluster of architecture and engineering. From 2012 to 2022, employment in the field of electrical engineering is projected to grow 4 percent, which is less than the average projected growth rate for all careers. There are no major geographic restrictions to becoming an electrical engineer, however most move to where the companies are located. Travel requirements vary from company to company, but overall the job does not demand much travel. Most electrical engineers work year round, and depending on the firm, there could be some specific peak work periods. Electrical engineers can work 40 hour weeks, or even up to 72 hour weeks, depending on their current projects. There are no major physical demands to the job. The average starting salary for electrical engineers in 2013 was $62,300 per year, and the median salary was $87,920 per year.
On successful completion of my master’s program, I will be able to implement this knowledge in an Indian industry more confidently and effectively. By working in the field of Electronics I would like give my share in enhancing the life standards of my countrymen. I am certain that my contribution, small or great, will prove to be another step in development and success of my country and its people.
As an engineering student, design, develop and test electrical equipments is the major purpose of all time. In other words, electrical engineer is concerned with using electricity to transmit electric power. In electrical engineering, there are extensive subfields such as power engineering, control system and signal processing. It is also worth to point out the difference between electrical engineering and electronic engineering. According to the research, electronic engineering is a major that deal with the electronic system such as computers and radar, to be more specific, electronic engineers are concerned with using electricity to process information.
From my perspective, excellent electronic engineers are a group of gifted and imaginative talents who bravely explore and innovate, change the world with passion and innovation. I have always dreamed of becoming one of them. For realizing this dream, I started from China 's Jilin University and then joined The University of Manchester for BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering to take more advanced professional courses. In UoM, I managed to gain GPA of 4.0. Yet, my pursuit of the dream does not end there, since I plan to apply for M.S. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Carnegie Mellon University, where I can receive the best education among the world.
