Choosing a particular field of engineering can often be very difficult for the undergraduate engineering student. A field particularly interesting to me is the development of network devices and the transmission of information between networks. Whether it is designing faster and more efficient modem circuits or researching for better transmission of signals between Earth and satellites, this field would be both challenging and exciting. The Internet is one of the best examples of how this field has impacted society. Enormous amounts of information are now accessible to anyone, anywhere. From network interface card design to on-demand Internet processing, I believe the world of networking has endless opportunities for engineers to get involved and make it better.
Networking technology has become a necessity for affairs in government agencies, international corporations, banks, and the life of common citizens. This field has exploded over the last ten years. The need for better servers, faster signal transmission such as in fiber-optics, and secure online commerce are only a few examples which lead to various engineering opportunities. I think the impacts of this career would directly affect society, and its advances have alr
Careers in these networking fields continue to interest me, and I think I would find the work very exciting and rewarding. I am not familiar with particular kinds of electrical engineering fields within this broad career, but as that dreaded graduation day nears, I hope to learn more about this area and hopefully become an active part of it.
The future holds endless opportunities for this engineering field. I believe technology is advancing so rapidly that electronic communication will play a role in everything that we do. People will be able to listen to any radio station in the world, watch any movie with the click of a button, remotely control lights, air conditioning, and heating in homes and automobiles. Schools will depend on digital equipment to create worldwide classrooms. Students will be able to perform live interviews, visit distant cities through on-demand video, and experience cultural traditions with natives of any country. Previews of these kinds of applications are already amazing us by their capabilities. Again, none of this would be possible without the many engineers who have developed and improved the devices that make these things happen.
