Electronics Engineering is one of the fastest and largest developing field of engineering and it covers a wide range of applications that make out life enjoyable and easier such as telecommunication, computers, radio, television, etc… They help us to communicate over vast distances and do things faster. Electronics has a major role in improving productivity in industries like agriculture, energy, oil and so many other important sectors of the nation. in industries like chemical, petroleum and steel, it is the electronic devices that test, control and direct the process of production.

Even health care industry depends on electronic instruments for performing chemical test and for checking the performance of body. The safety of mines, factories and transportation largely depend on electronics.

What is the job of an electronics engineer?

An electronics engineering must find new remedies to practical problems affecting the day-to-day lives of human beings and an electronic engineer will have to work in team with other specialists for designing, fabricating and producing tests and supervising the manufacture of complex systems and products that are used in many industries like defense, computer and hospitals. These professionals supervise manufacturing and production processes and oversee maintenance and even installation process. They work with devices that make use of extremely small amounts of power and they work with radio, television, fibre optics, microprocessors as well.

Scope in the field of electronics engineering:

Electronics engineering is a constantly widening and changing branch of engineering and the industry had always been labor intensive thereby providing wide range of employment opportunities for skilled personnel. The development of employment opportunities in this field is further contributed by the increasing production and demand for research and development in robots, military electronics, computers and several other communication equipments. Candidates, who are good at mathematics and physics with inventive and creative mind can sure be able to shine in the field of electronics engineering.

Educational qualification required for becoming an electronics engineer:

To become an electronics engineer, a candidate will have to get a degree in electronics engineering or they must complete their AMIE in electronics engineering. Even a diploma in electronics engineering can pave a way for a career in the field of electronics engineering. A PG degree in electronics engineering is needed for most teaching and research positions and management positions. If a candidate seeks for management or administrative position, he/she will have to do a business administration degree at the PG level after completion of their B.E/B. Tech in Electronics Engineering.
