2. Electronic engineering
It is said that electronics is indispensable to our daily lives, and that as time
has elapsed embeds itself more and more to our daily lives, this is due to the
technological advances we have today had also also be said that it is difficult
find someone more or less connected with daily life, that has not heard of
electronics, because few know what it is. On the other hand, young people
today who were born in the 80's and 90's seen as a basic need services of
electronics and telecommunications; since they can not live without electronic
devices (cell phone, computer, and internet), a clear example of the
importance of electronic technology in our lives is when a company water
lack, the same continues his work but when in a company the internet or
computer failure, there is a technological deficit, since the entire company is
hindered, so the same work with the computer system, bone perform banking
transactions, sending email, etc. With regard to the above electronics has led
to a new era, and this new era is the digital age, and when we say that a new
era, when it begins to change the ways of thinking of citizenship, when people
have no other way to interact, it has other customs and all this is caused due to
the development of electronic technology.
3. Knowledge areas
The electronic engineer has a deep training in everything related to systems,
circuits and electronic instruments and applications.
This knowledge will enable them to:
. Plan and execute communications link systems, electronic data processing
(hardware), including processing (software).
. Study, build and operate systems, subsystems and components for the
generation, transmission, reception, distribution, reproduction and processing
of electromagnetic, optical and acoustic signals.
. Design and manufacture electronic equipment and subsystems incorporate
embedded electronic machines, devices and processes of different types.
. Designing systems for communications, industrial control and automation
systems for professional audio.
. Projecting and design intelligence systems in buildings and homes, roads and
urban traffic systems and transportation.
. Understand and certify in noise and vibration measurements following the
legislation on environmental impact.
4. Fields of action
There are many work canpos for electronic engineer and as it passes the
greatest demand s time. but bear in mind what is now called for in day.
The occupational field relates especially to modern businesses that require
computing both to increase efficiency and control in the productive sectors of
goods and services sectors. Among the former are the industries of mining,
energy, pulp and paper, petroleum, manufacturing, food and agriculture
industry sector.
Among utilities, telecommunications, financial, commercial, pension
companies, consulting, and medical services.
You can also perform consulting and independent advice.
The modernization of equipment used in industry and laboratories,
innovations of new computer applications to increase the level of automation
and the development of medical equipment, continue to require electronic
technology professionals.
5. Importance of electronic engineering
Electronic engineering is very important in our society as it is responsible for
resolving problems such as industrial process control transformation of
electricity for the operation of various devices and has application in industry,
in telecommunications design analysis instrumentation electronics,
microcontrollers and microprocessors.
Among electronic engineering and electrical engineering there are
fundamental similarities, as both are based on study electrical phenomenon.
However, the first specializes in low voltage circuits including
semiconductors, which have as a fundamental component to the transistor or
the behavior of the loads in a vacuum as in the case of valves old thermionic
and electrical engineering specializing in circuits electric high voltage as
shown in the transmission lines and power stations. Both have common
engineering aspects such as mathematical and physical fundamentals, circuit
theory, the study of electromagnetism and project planning. Another
fundamental difference lies in the fact that studied electronic engineering
using electricity to transmit, receive and process information, this being the
basis of telecommunications engineering, computer engineering and automatic
control engineering. The concordant point of electrical and electronic
engineering is the area of power. The electronics used to convert the
waveform of the voltages used to transmit electrical energy; electrical
engineering studies and designs systems generation, distribution and
conversion of electrical energy in sufficient proportions to feed and activate
equipment, electricity networks of buildings and cities among others.
