Electronic Engineering has advanced the convenience and sensory experience of our lives; providing services and entertainment at our fingertips wherever we go. Progress insists products must become thinner, lighter and faster with sharper images, better sound quality and more memory which is why electronic engineers are researching and developing new machines to replace the ones we now fill our homes and pockets with. These engineers are also helping us to live longer, safer lives with exciting progress in medical equipment and gadgets that sense invisible dangers like carbon monoxide. Career choices for electronic engineers are plentiful and varied. Opportunities exist in a wide-range of industries, such as telecommunications, bioengineering, manufacturing, military services, aerospace and service industries.
