PART 1:
wave propagation.It is a branch of engineering that deals with the use of non-linear
and active electrical components such as electron tubes, and semiconductor
devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits to design electronic
circuits, devices and systems, typically also including passive electrical
components and based on printed circuit boards. The term denotes a broad
engineering field that covers important subfields such as analog electronics, digital
electronics, consumer electronics, embedded systems and power electronics. Also,
An electronic and communications engineer is responsible for the design of
electronics that drive the transmitter and receiver functions of any system
transporting wireless or wired communications. A person with this job may work in
the fields of computer networking, digital TV, satellite, radio or Internet
technology.
E.C.E has to do with the
non-linear and active
component such as electron
tube, semi-conductors and
vices, such as transistors,
diodes,which are utilized for the
design of electric circuit and
and systems on pointed circuit
boards.
E.C.E is highly
required in the sense that
almost all operating systems like,
the refrigerators, air conditioners, television set, radio, are all incorporated and
made possible due to electronics engineering.
BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION
ENGINEERING
Electronic engineering is a branch of electrical engineering; telecommunication
being a branch of the electronics. Thus it would be more appropriate for us to
consider the history of electronics and communication from these two views.

SOCIETAL EFFECTS OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION
ENGINEERING
Radio and Television: The introduction of radio and television were major
agents of social change in the 20th century, opening windows to other lives,
to remote areas of the world, and to history in the making. Broadcasts of
news, sports events, and live performances captivated audiences as they
emanated from speakers or screens in living rooms. After Marconis 1901
demonstration of the wireless telegraph and the practical use of signal
transmission, technical developments were rapid.
Computer Sector: The rapid progress of computers came about because of
innovations in stored data, the competitive race for superior materials that
would make computers faster and more reliable, and engineers who saw that
the computer was more than a calculator. Graphically driven software makes
computers easy to use and has begun to open new worlds through the
Internet. The average American now has access to unprecedented amounts of
knowledge, and can communicate freely in a world forum.
In this respect, the real computer revolution is not one of numbers and bytes,
but one in which people, regardless of geography and politics, can share
information and learn from each other.
