aquí podremos observar un texto de ingles en el cual nos habla sobre la carrera de electrónica y las áreas en las que se desempeña.

1. CAREERS IN ELECTRONICS
JUAN CAMILO PRECIADO PEREZ.

2. AREAS OF EMPLOYEMENT
 AVIONCS
Aircraft electronic equipment has to be maintained to a very high standard with rigorous checks at
set intervals .service enegineers are required to maintain on-board equipment such as radio,radar
and automatic flight path plotting equipment.Air traffic control equipment.
 COMPUTING
This is an area where competition between companies is considerable and technology is moving
very quickly . with the increasing numbers of computers used in the office , the home , and as part
of industrial and comunications equipment , there is a growing need for engineers to design these
as well as service them. on the software side ,there is always a demand for programmers to design
software for business use and for leisure.
Almost every large business organization , like Banks and insurance companies,runs several local
area networks (LANs). T hese require network managers and maintenance and software support.

3.  DEFENCE
The reducton in political tensión in recent years has meant cuts in the defence
industry.nevertheless , many countries are still developing sophisticated defence
systems both for home use and for export.These systems require not only engineers to
design them,but highlyskilled operators to man them and maintain them.thus the
armed service recruit and train numbers of electronics technicians and engineers.the
major fields of defence electronics are:
1.Early warning systems,e.g.radar.
2.Detection systems.
3.ranging,using radar and computers.
4.Weapons guidance,using computers.
5.communications.

4.  INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS
Industrial electronics started with transducers which allowed remote monitoring of
processes,especially those which involved high temperatures or dangerous
substances . Further developments allowed processes in a whole range of industries –
from food and drink production to garbage recycling – to be fully automated.
The development of robotics has led to widespread application in the car industry in
particular.Everything from assembling to spraying the completed car can now be
done without human assistance.Tedious and unpleasant Jobs have
disappeared.Automation has led to savings for the manufacturer but has also
contributed to unemployment.Electronics engineers are requiered to design and
service industrial circuits,including control panels.

5.  LEISURE PRODUCTS
Society expects a wide rabge of leisure electronic ítems.this can be gauged by sales of
radio,hi-fi equipment,televisión sets,compact disc players,video recorders ,satellite
receivers,etc.engeniers and technicians are required not only to design and manufactire
these,but also to maintain them.
 TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND BROADCATING
People today expect to be able to get in touch with each other at any time and in any
place.the communication of speech,text,and other data by cable and radio is a growing
field of employment .cellphones are an area of recent expansión.
Engineers are employed to manufacture ,plan,install,commission, and maintain
telecommunication equipment.National and local radio and televisión stations employ
broadcating and sound engineers.
 MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Recent years have seen a Sharp increase in equipment for patient care.This ranges from
body scanners to electronic stethoscopes. While the operation of this equipment is the
responsibility of the medical team,engineers are requiered to work with medical experts in
the design of such equipment ,in the installation of larger equipment,and in
maintenance.job satisfaction in this area can be high.
