What is Electronics and Communication Engineering?
Electronics
is the technology concerned with the development and behavior of
devices and
circuits (televisions,
computers), which make use of electronic components such as transistors
or silicon chips. Electronics engineers develop and design products,
processes or devices in the field of
low-power electricity. Their
main areas of work are in computer applications, control systems (from
satellite tracking to domestic appliances), medical equipment, radio and
television and telecommunications.
Today
is an era of electronics and communications, and research into how
electronics are used in instrumentation
and communication forms the core
of this department. As such, it integrates those areas of engineering.
Students study a curriculum built around the latest technology with the
goal of applying that
knowledge to emerging
technologies through practical experimentation and intensive discussion
sessions.
What do Electronics and Communication Engineers do?
Design,
fabricate, maintain, supervise, and manufacture electronic equipment
used in the
entertainment media, in
hospitals, in the computer industry, for communication and in defense.
Electronics engineers work with devices that use extremely small amounts
of power. They work with
microprocessors, fibre optics,
and in telecommunication, television, and radio.
Why Electronics and Communication Engineering?
Electronic
systems are at the heart of the new industrial revolution and play a
vital role that
affects nearly every aspect of
our modern daily lives. Mobile phones, computers, televisions, radios,
digital media systems, satellites, exchanges, avionics, automotive
systems, control and instrumentation
systems, embedded systems,
medical equipment, and many others are all based on advanced electronic
technologies. The need for ever increasing performance in these areas is
both challenging and rewarding.
These systems require
professional electronic engineers for their design, development,
commission, service and management. If being part of an exciting
profession that investigate solutions to virtually
every problem encountered today
appeals to you, then you are invited to consider Electronic Engineering
for your career choice.
