Electronics engineers create, design, and develop commonplace gadgets like computers, laptops, and portable music players. Electronic engineering provides the opportunity to create new advancements in telecommunications, robotics, computing hardware, and electrical and power equipment. There is a lot of room for specialization in this area, with areas of competence in microelectronics (computer chips), telecommunications, control systems, and light, audio, and visual electronics.

An electronics engineer's typical tasks include:

• Creating, installing, and maintaining telecommunications systems utilizing a combination of engineering and science methods.
• Constructing and running the machinery that controls and observes systems, processes, and machinery in many different fields
• Using and creating technologies for manufacturing companies to regulate pressures, temperatures, and waste management
• Building user-friendly interfaces, writing specifications, and creating theoretical designs.
• Planning projects, budget creation, and management
• Drafting technical papers and being current with technological and legal developments
• Utilizing computer-assisted engineering (CAE) and designing software and equipment to carry out engineering activities, assessing operational systems, and recommending design improvements to remove sources of malfunctions or changes in system needs.
