Hello Young Friends
These days, it is becoming harder for electronics engineers to plan their future. Hence, those who have undergone serious experience can guide others who are now just at the starting point of the race.
Here are some points that may help. You with experience can add up whatever you feel may work better for planning future by the young engineers.
1. Under ROHS PCB design techniques and learn PCB design and fabrication techniques. No electronics is done without making PCBs so that is the starting point for this business. If you do like software, PCB CAD will be a great idea for you. Look at Mentor Graphics, ORCAD etc.
2. If you are good at Physics or antenna design then RF communication may be ideal. There is lots of wireless communication these days. Designing RF circuits needs lots of education and training and hence, go for higher degree in RF communication if you like this area.
3. Optoelectronics and fiber optics is now the backbone of high speed communication. This may require some training but good field to work on.
4. Sensors and signal communication is the key in industrial automation. It is easy to enter this field. Also look at PLCs to program and interface with sensors.
5. VLSI, ASIC design is for building future in high technology and one can get some training and start with simple designs from XILINX and ALTERA VHDL and VERILOG training.
6. Embedded Systems are everywhere, so this area is the key to intelligent devices. One can start with simple Microcontroller Training Kits and move on to DSP and VLSI based Embedded Systems.
7. Specialized electronics areas are; power electronics, industrial electronics, manufacturing process electronics, environmental electronics, medical electronics, defense electronics, space electronics, communication electronics, education electronics, domestic electronics, security electronics etc. Hence look for the right area where you wish to remain and build your life. Training is the key to fast starting point and to win the race.
If you are in India and want to get trained in some of the above areas, then you may find some training institute near your city. Write to me if you want to know more specific to your interest. It is worth asking experts and knowing the facts ahead of time as electronics requires expertize at work and only imagination is not enough.
Good luck.
