2. Electronics is the technology associated with electronic circuits
and systems, and is one of the major branches of electrical
engineering.
Electronics engineers research, design, develop and test precision
components and systems; developing the way electricity is used
to control equipment. The work is usually carried out in cross-
functional project teams, with colleagues in electronics and other
branches of engineering.
Electronics touches on almost all areas of human activity, so its
applications are diverse. They include acoustics, defence, medical
instruments, mobile phones, nanotechnology, radio and satellite
communication and robotics. Subfields of electronics engineering
include control engineering, instrumentation, signal processing
and telecommunications engineering.

3. Electronics engineering, or electronic engineering, is an engineering discipline
where non-linear and active electrical components such as electron tubes, and
semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, are
utilized to design electronic circuits, devices and systems, typically also
including passive electrical components and based on printed circuit boards.
The term denotes a broad engineering field that covers important subfields
such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer electronics, embedded
systems and power electronics. Electronics engineering deals with
implementation of applications, principles and algorithms developed within
many related fields, for example solid-state physics, radio engineering,
telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, systems engineering,
computer engineering, instrumentation engineering, electric power control,
robotics, and many others.

4. Electronic engineering as a profession sprang from
technological improvements in the telegraph industry in the
late 19th century and the radio and the telephone industries
in the early 20th century. People were attracted to radio by
the technical fascination it inspired, first in receiving and then
in transmitting. Many who went into broadcasting in the
1920s were only 'amateurs' in the period before World War I.
The modern discipline of electronic engineering was to a large
extent born out of telephone, radio, and television equipment
development and the large amount of electronic systems
development during World War II of radar, sonar,
communication systems, and advanced munitions and
weapon systems. In the interwar years, the subject was
known as radio engineering and it was only in the late 1950s
that the term electronic engineering started to emerge.

5. Professional bodies of note for electrical engineers include the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the
Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) (now renamed the
Institution of Engineering and Technology or IET). Member of
the Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET) is
recognised in Europe as Electrical and computer (technology)
engineer. The IEEE claims to produce 30 percent of the world's
literature in electrical/electronic engineering, has over
370,000 members, and holds more than 450 IEEE sponsored
or cosponsored conferences worldwide each year.

6. For most engineers not involved at the cutting edge of system
design and development, technical work accounts for only a
fraction of the work they do. A lot of time is also spent on tasks
such as discussing proposals with clients, preparing budgets and
determining project schedules. Many senior engineers manage a team of technicians or
other engineers and for this reason project management skills are important. Most
engineering projects involve some form of documentation and strong written
communication skills are therefore very important.
The workplaces of electronics engineers are just as varied as the types of work they do.
Electronics engineers may be found in the pristine laboratory environment of a fabrication
plant, the offices of a consulting firm or in a research laboratory. During their working life,
electronics engineers may find themselves supervising a wide range of individuals including
scientists, electricians, computer programmers and other engineers.
Obsolescence of technical skills is a serious concern for electronics engineers. Membership
and participation in technical societies, regular reviews of periodicals in the field and a
habit of continued learning are therefore essential to maintaining proficiency. And these
are mostly used in the field of consumer electronics products.
