Hughes electrical and electronic technology

Abstract

It continues to surprise that the subject of Electrical and Electronic Engineering does not draw more young people into the profession, either at Technician or Graduate Engineer level. It is rewarding, both financially and intellectually, whatever the particular role chosen. There are exciting roles for every personality, both for men and women, in manufacturing, production, design, R&D, teaching, management...the list is long and there are opportunities for travel. Above all perhaps, it is a profession that provides service to the community, whether through the technology of a washing machine, a mobile phone, a laptop, satellite communications, the electrical power system, new renewable generating equipment, electric vehicles both on and off rails...that list is even longer. Engineers are the driving force that brings ideas from the drawing board to the marketplace.
