What is electronic engineeering?
Nowadays any field of human activity requires the support of electronics: communication systems, multimedia services, control of industrial processes, energy management, automotive, medicine, etc.
There are just a few examples of the use of electronics that demonstrate their transversal nature. From the microchips to the motors of the trains, the electronics are everywhere wherever you look. In addition, the current tendency to produce electricity as a net source of energy makes electronics even more current than ever.
This degree aims to train graduates to meet the needs of companies and institutions in the diverse sectors of highly qualified personnel in design and technological development in the field of electronics. The degree provides a solid foundation in both physical and electronic principles and mathematicians that requires discipline with a future that goes beyond what we can now imagine. Electronics since its inception is a constantly evolving technology where research and technology transfer are key factors.
What types of work do electronic engineers develop?
Professional outings are all those that are related to the design, implementation and management of electronic systems in all fields and sectors where electronic technology is applicable.
Examples include consumer electronics, telecommunications, micro and nano technologies, the automobile industry, robotics, multimedia image and sound systems, energy, medicine, bioengineering, photonics, industry aeronautics and aerospace, and research centers in all these areas.
This university degree also allows you to develop project management tasks and is associated with content with high labor demand as shown by its high employment index.
In addition, the degree in Electronic Engineering enables the regulated profession of Telecommunications Technical Engineer.
What is different from other degrees of the etsetb?
At the moment the ETSETB provides the Degrees of Engineering of Technologies and Services of Telecommunication, the degree of Physical Engineering, the Degree of Science and Engineering of Data and this degree of Electronic Engineering.
All these degrees represent current technologies that are constantly growing. Since the birth of electronics in the early 20th century, this has always been closely related to communications and data processing. For a time, only one degree, such as Telecommunication Engineering, was sufficient for this field. At the moment the technology has evolved and it has integrated in many new dominions. Like in any mature technology, you need to specialize to work on the cutting edge.
Within this field, Physical Engineering is the degree that is closer to the physical principles. Its challenge is to develop new technologies based on the intimate knowledge of the subject at its lowest level. Telecommunication engineering develops highly complex systems and advanced telematic services. Data processing, in itself, is also an expanding discipline and requires a specific degree. This degree in Electronic Engineering, although it has common elements with Telecommunication, focuses on the technology that supports its most intimate level and provides highly transversal knowledge applicable to many other areas.
