abstract:Electronics engineering, or electronic engineering, is an engineering discipline where non-linear and active electrical components such as electron tubes, and semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, are utilized to design electronic circuits, devices and systems, typically also including passive electrical components and based on printed circuit boards. The term denotes a broad engineering field that covers important subfields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer electronics, embedded systems and power electronics.
ElectronicEngineering Times reports that engineers are feverishly competing to develop sugarcube-sized digital cameras for incorporation into cell phones.
The electronicengineering department at the University of Surrey has been awarded a prestigious professorship by the Queen to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
