History

The history of electronic engineering is a long one. Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary (1972) defines electronics as "The science and technology of the conduction of electricity in a vacuum, a gas, or a semiconductor, and devices based thereon". Electronic engineering as a profession sprang from technological improvements in the telegraph industry during the late 19th century and in the radio and telephone industries during the early 20th...

Engineering Components

Component engineering is an engineering discipline primarily used to ensure the availability of suitable components required to manufacture a larger product. The term combines two ideas: A component—a smaller, self-contained part of a larger entity Engineering—the discipline and profession of applying science to implement some functional design Those who practice this discipline are called component engineers. Component engineers...

Telecommunications

Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between two or more entities (communication) includes the use of technology. Communication technology uses channels to transmit information (as electrical signals), either over a physical medium (such as signal cables), or in the form of electromagnetic waves. The word is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies. Early means of communicating...

Industrial Process Control

Process control is an engineering discipline that deals with architectures, mechanisms and algorithms for maintaining the output of a specific process within a desired range. For instance, the temperature of a chemical reactor may be controlled to maintain a consistent product output. Process control is extensively used in industry and enables mass production of consistent products from continuously operated processes such as oil refining, paper...

Computers And Digital Electronic

In computer science, a digital electronic computer is a computer machine which is both an electronic computer and a digital computer. Examples of a digital electronic computers include the IBM PC, the Apple Macintosh as well as modern smartphones. When computers that were both digital and electronic appeared, they displaced almost all other kinds of computers, but computation has historically been performed in various non-digital and non-electronic...

Power Electronics

Power electronics expression is used to distinguish the type of application that is given to electronic devices, in this case to transform and control voltages and currents significant levels. It differentiates this type of application and other electronics called low power or too weak currents In this application the electrical and electronics are reunited, allowing for control electronic circuits for controlling driving (on and off) power semiconductors to...
