Electronic Engineering....

Electronic engineering is a discipline dealing with the behavior and effects of electrons (as in electron tubes and transistors) and with electronic devices, systems, or equipment. The term now also covers a large part of electrical engineering degree courses as studied at most European universities. In the U.S., however, electrical engineering implies all the wide electrical disciplines including electronics.

In many areas, electronic engineering is considered to be at the same level as electrical engineering, requiring that more general programmes be called electrical and electronic engineering (many UK and Turkish universities have departments of Electronic and Electrical Engineering). Both define a broad field that encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering, telecommunications, and semiconductor circuit design amongst many others.

The modern discipline of electronic engineering was to a large extent born out of radio and television development and from the large amount of Second World War development of defence systems and weapons. In the interwar years, the subject was known as radio engineering and it was only in the late 1950s that the term electronic engineering started to emerge. In the UK, the subject of electronic engineering became distinct from electrical engineering as a university degree subject around 1960. Students of electronics and related subjects like radio and telecommunications before this time had to enroll in the electrical engineering department of the university as no university had departments of electronics. Electrical engineering was the nearest subject with which electronic engineering could be aligned, although the similarities in subjects covered (except mathematics and electromagnetism) lasted only for the first year of the three-year course.

Introducing My Self

Hi...My name is Diosana Bermudez, I'm 21 years old i'm from Maracaibo, and i study electronic engineering at URBE.

Well..to tell you a little bit about my self... i have a boyfriend, we have been together for 3 years and a half, and i'm very much in love with him..!

There are a lot of things that i like, i love spending time with my family and friends, to go to the movies with my boyfriend ( we try to go at least 1 time per week). On weekends, i go out with my friends and my boyfriend of course, first we have dinner and then we go to diferents places such as mandarin, where i sing every time I go there( very bad actually), or mi ternerita, saga, or we just go to one of our friend's house... I never stay at home on weekends....!.

Right now i'm doing thesis 1 yeeeiiii...!, i will finish my career on march next year, so i'm very happy about that, but also scared, because i'm going to start a new chapter of my life where i'm going to have to be on my own not depending on my parents, wich will be totally new for me, so i'm very scared but excited at the same time.

thing i don't like...well... i hate lies, trafic jam, and the heat in Maracaibo, but i don't change my city for any city in the world!!!

In the future i see my self as a very successful engineer, married, with 3 kids, living in a very beautiful apartment, and driving a very beautiful truck ( almost anything).

So, i hope that with this little introduction about my self, you could see and know a little bit about me, and if there is something more you would like to know, i will be delighted to answer any of your questions.

XOXO Diosana B.

Questions:
1. Could you please define Engineering in your own words?
For me, engineering is a profession where you have to aply all the knowledge that you learned in college always on a search of advances of science
2. What influenced you to pursue Electronics engineering, industrial ingeneering, computer science engineering or informatics engineering?
My dad influenced me. He is also an Electronic engineer, and ever since i was a little kid, i loved the work he did and i wanted to become an engineer just like him.
3. Could you please describe the educational process required to become an Engineer?
well..first you have to finish scholl, and then, after you entered to the university, you have to study a lot in in order to pass subjets and become an engineer.
4. What are the skills you need to be a good engineer?
you have to be able to study a lot, to be all the time searching for new tecnollogy, new things that could improve you to become a better professional.
5. What job considerations were you looking for after you completed your education?
i would like to work on a telecomunication company, or in the telecomunication area of any company.
6. What's something of your school life that you enjoy the most?
my friends... i met some of my best friends here at URBE.
7. from your perspective, what is the most difficult part of being an engineering student?
All the hours of study... when you become an engineer student you have to be able to sacrifice vacations, weekends, partys, etc.....
8. What are your plans for the future?
well... i will finish my career on march 09, i plan to be working by then, and in a couple of years i would like to get married with my boyfriend and have a family with him.
