Electronic Engineering
Electronic Engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the flow of information in the form of electrons from one point to another after passing through transitional electronic devices (Alley, 1973). This discipline also refers to the designing, inventing and installing electronic devices such as transistors to form various amplifiers or motherboards to form computers (Alley, 1973). The basic carrier of the information is the electron and electricity provides these electrons. There are different sub types of electronic engineering including telecom engineering, instrumental engineering and power engineering. Due to the broadness in the field and extra level of the skills which electronic engineers learn over the course of their education, they are regarded to be the most versatile engineers and can easily integrate themselves to various roles in various organizations such as network engineers when specifically work for the implementation and monitoring of the data communication networks or the telecom engineers when deals with the radio frequencies to implement the GSM circuits or the power engineer when they work in the electrical power generation sector (Swedin, 2005). This is one of the various reasons why electronic engineers most of the times remain on the top of the economic market and gain more than usual benefits with highest paid salaries all around the world.
In various parts of the world, electronic engineering is termed as electrical and computer engineering. This term basically apply that this engineering discipline will be used to study electrical engineering for power and computer engineering for the information to be communicated. The computers are completely based on the electronic devices and principles and the information exchange takes place in all those devices, so when in different universities like in US or in any European Country, it will be meant that it covers the same principles like that of Electronics. However, there are some features that can differentiate electronic engineering to electrical. Electrical engineering in various parts of the world deals with the electrical power generation having high voltage levels to be dealt with but in electronics engineering the dealing voltage is very low around 15 V because nearly all the electronic devices work around and below this voltage level.
If the economic markets around the world are analyzed it becomes clear that engineers are regarded as the professionals who are always needed. Whether they were civil engineers of the Germany or the chemical engineers of France, they played an effective roles in the stabilizing the economy by designing products according to their professions (Van Creveld, 1991). Electronic Engineering came into being in the early part of 1900s, though not very renowned discipline until the formation of the transistors.
