Electrical and Electronic Engineering is at the root of both the 2nd (technological) and the third (digital) industrial revolutions that have entirely reshaped our day-to-day life. Electrical and Electronic Engineering progress is still very much alive, and the field is growing and evolving to meet the demands of modern society.
As with all engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a creative field, combining creativity with scientific knowledge to develop new and innovative solutions to address humanity's various challenges. One can say that the Electrical and Electronic Engineer is at the forefront of scientific progress, applying their skills and knowledge to solve problems ranging from the most mundane to the most challenging and sophisticated.
By way of example, consider a self-driving car. Such a car needs to sense its environment and react to it appropriately. This requires a variety of sensors from laser range finders (LIDAR) that can determine its distance from other cars, pavements, or pedestrians; to vision sensors (cameras) which allow the car to sense road signage such as stop signs, or traffic lights. The car also requires navigation systems (e.g. GPS) which enable it to determine its location in the world. While sensors provide data about the car's environment, the car requires intelligent control to use this data to function autonomously, be it from stopping at red lights, to planning the best route to arrive at the desired destination. All the electronics, and on-board computers, as well as the car's motors, require energy to function. Hence, to use the car reliably over long distances, the car needs the means to generate, store and transfer energy consistently and efficiently. As with any other complex system, the development of a self-driving car would see teams of Electrical and Electronics Engineers with different skills and expertise working in synergy.
Self-driving cars are but one example of what Electrical and Electronics Engineers can achieve. Electrical and Electronic Engineering is at the heart of clean energy production and distribution, sustainable and smart transport, space technology, bio-medical technology, automation, robotics, autonomous drones, avionics, satellite systems, ship navigation, communications, mobile telephony, the list is endless. This explains why the demand for Electrical and Electronic Engineers in Malta and worldwide is high and perpetually increasing.
