Trends and Opportunities in Electronics Engineering
Energy has been greatest resource for human civilization, starting from very beginning of scientific evolution. Electrical energy is the muscle power that can drive any kind of energy to a tangible format for use in most of the dimensions of human activities. Whereas, electronic sciences have been the
ain power that operates those muscles with greatest intelligence. Hence, electronics is a very fundamental aspect of modern humans. It thus holds a wide scope in terms of areas it covers. In fact, the booming areas including consumer electronics, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence and machine learning, power sector etc. contain the electronics at the core of them. Due to keen interest of exploration, I am always an enthusiastic to study this field as a major subject of my career. This essay would explore the recent trends and opportunities in this area.
Signal Processing:
One of the key area is signal processing. Signals arise from any typical engineering system. The core of system is not always accessible due to proprietary issues and system complexities. However, this area deals with measurement based approach to know and take control of unknown systems. To exemplify, it is the applied mathematics used for active noise cancellation, power quality improvement, response predictions for early detection of failures, speech and language processing, image processing, data storage and computation, medical signal analysis, analyzing data from remote stars/galaxies, avionics, big data analytics in the field of machine learning etc. to name few. Following shows the rise in employment trends in the areas of signal processing engineers in the state of North Carolina [1]:
Power Electronics:
    This is a technology of recent origin but has gone through tremendous change over the years. Starting from vacuum tubes, it has developed up to several multi-purpose switches including IGBT, MOSFETs, GaN devices to name few. Devising new switch technologies by progress in material science, or by manufacturing is one possibility. Another promising area being a
angement of those devices to develop applicable topologies for efficient power conversions. With boom in renewable energy sector, as well as new technologies of power generation, energy storage and electronic mobility, this field is going to be king of the future. Development of software solutions, or mixed hardware plus software technologies for example, hardware-in-the-loop simulation is a demanding area now-a-days. The recent research trend includes devising new methods for modeling, analysis, and control...
