Introduction
Think of software and electronics and they probably conjure up images of computers, the world wide web, text messaging, mobile phones, but there is so much more than meets the eye. Software and electronics are among the fastest moving and exciting branches of engineering and some of the biggest growth industries on the planet and here’s why: - Imagine having the confidence in your education and training to work with tiny atoms; designing semiconductors that will control critical actions on a distant space mission! Could you handle the responsibility of writing encryption programmes to safeguard billion pound financial transactions made by banks in the City
- Could you be responsible for creating the electronic tools such as the magic eye and lasers used by surgeons to perform delicate life or death situations?
- Are you looking forward to the choices and control that digital TV will bring into your own living room, you would be surprised at how much design as well as manufacture is done in Wales. Do you have the innovation to develop the head-up displays used by fighter pilots for use in the family car? Or do you think you could design and build a collision avoidance system for use on motorways and in towns?
These are the sort of problems faced by the electronics and software engineers and technicians in Wales every day. Could you handle them? Could you help to design the future?
There are a wealth of opportunities for people with a wide range of qualifications in the electronics sector - the message to you is clear, aim high. The better qualified you are the better your career opportunities will be!
