  • Development of a Wireless Communications Course for Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) Curriculum
    Session 3548 Development of a Wireless Communications Course for Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) Curriculum Ahmed S. Khan DeVry Institute of Technology 1221 N. Swift Road Addison, IL 60101 E-mail: [email protected] Amin Karim DeVry Institute of Technology One Tower Lane Oakbrook Terrace IL, 60181 E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract Wireless communications is one of the most rapidly developing segments of the telecommunications industry. All segments of the wireless industry - cellular, personal communication services (PCS), paging, and specialized mobile radio (SMR) - are expected to grow at double-digit rates. In 1993, wireless services accounted for only $40 billion or 9% of the $640 billion telecommunications market, but by the year 2000, wireless is expected to control $200 billion or 18%, of an expected $1.1 trillion telecommunications market [1]. This phenomenal growth in wireless communications has put new demands on engineering technology curricula. Industry seeks graduates with appropriate background and training in wireless technologies. Electronics engineering technology (EET) graduates are not only expected to understand the theory of state-of-the-art wireless technologies, but also to exhibit hands-on analytical and problem solving skills. To address these changing industrial needs, it is imperative that new courses in wireless technologies be developed and incorporated into the Electronics Engineering Technology program. To help achieve this goal, a survey was conducted in the wireless industry to determine the required level of training for EET graduates. This paper describes a proposed wireless technology lecture/laboratory course implementing the future trends identified through feedback from the wireless industry. Page 2.149.1 Page Introduction “It is dangerous to put limits on wireless.” - Guglielmo Marconi (1932) [2] Nearly a century ago, Marconi transmitted the first radio signals.

  • Electrical & Electronic Engineering Careers
    ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING A FUTURE IN ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING WHAT IS ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING? In a world where virtually nothing can be done without flicking a switch or pushing a button, electrical and electronics engineers hold the keys to progress. Electrical engineers control the diverse power systems that provide energy for all aspects of daily life, while electronics engineers create and maintain the vast array of electronic systems and devices used by individuals and industry. The breadth of activity and opportunity in this field is genuinely exciting. Engineers can be designing components for mobile phones or medical devices, researching circuitry for the development of robots, implementing systems that maintain huge power stations or constructing energy efficient lighting structures for towns or sporting stadiums. Electrical and electronics engineers have an understanding of the whole process of the production of systems and devices, from planning, research, development, manufacture and testing, to implementation and maintenance. As such they will need to be highly competent project managers, communicators and innovators, as well as multi-skilled technicians. Do you like looking behind exteriors to see what makes stuff work? Are you interested in making systems more efficient and effective? Are you good at Physics, Maths and Technology? Do you like hands-on practical activity? If so, a career in electrical and electronic engineering is definitely for you. OUTLOOK AND TRENDS In recent years there has been a big move to software as opposed to hardware. Software modelling technology is now so advanced that actual manufacture has become secondary in the production process. Software technology is at the basis of the microcontroller, which runs virtually every electronic product, and design and maintenance in this area is constantly developing.
