Electronics is the study, application and control of the scientific event concerned with the flow of electrical current. Fluids, gases, semiconductors, vacuum, semi or super conducting materials are electrical conductors. Based on this phenomenon a variety of electronic products have been produced which are used in our day-to-day life.

Telecommunication applications are enormous and companies are fast growing in this sector. Besides telephones, voice processing equipments, touch tone telephones, cellular technology, wireless technology, microwave applications and satellite communication systems, to the linking of computers and telephone lines are developing very fast and their functional efficiency is improving in every respect. Growth in the area global computer network, with computers linked by wires, fiber optics, cables, microwave and satellite communication links is happening very fast and one of the best examples of this in our daily life is the internet.

Nature of Work:

Electronic Engineers
