ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Electronic engineering is a rapidly advancing profession and is the driving force

behind the development of the world’s information technology. Electronic
engineers create, design and develop everyday devices like the mobile phone,
portable music devices and computers. Electronic engineering offers a broad range of exciting career challenges including producing new innovations and
developments in telecommunications, robotics, computing hardware and power
and electrical equipment.

 

Electronic engineering develops the way electricity is used to control

equipment. Electronic engineers continually improve the quality of our
lives through the development of new equipment in the fields of medicine, communications, computing, security, business and entertainment. It is a challenging and creative profession which, by using the latest state-ofthe-
art technology, has brought us MP3 players, digital cameras, security systems,
improved weather forecasting, electronic medical devices and so many other things that we now take for granted. Electronic engineering allows students to specialise in a

variety of areas including:

• Audio, visual and light electronic equipment:                      

creating and advancing developments in the audiovisual entertainment and information systems and the light electronic equipment sector including

Playstations, digital cameras and microwaves.

• Control systems and automation:

developing equipment to aid transport and the control of automated systems in industry including robots, navigational control systems and radar.

• Microelectronics:

developing the miniaturisation of electronic systems including microchips and applying electronic engineering to medical applications to develop equipment including hearing aids and pacemakers.

• Telecommunications: designing and developing technologies for broadcast, mobile and optical communications
