Electronics Product Design
When you wish to learn Electronics, first a short study of Physics
is essential, secondly some Electronics
theory. Then build simple and small electronic projects to
learn Practical
Electronics while working with Educational Hobby
Circuits. Lastly to make your own product designs, a
fundamental knowledge of Analog and Digital
Electronics is the foundation for your next steps into
Engineering a Design.
Applications and Components
The basic building blocks for most circuits are Chips or ICs. You
can acquire considerable knowledge by studying Application
notes. Then you would want to use a Microprocessor
or Build Microcontroller
Projects. The Specifications and Behavior of Passive
Components like inductors, capacitors and Resistors; Discrete
Semiconductors; Power
Devices and RF Components have to be understood well, in
order to design sturdy Industrial Grade Designs.
Advanced Engineering
The Technology related to the equipment used for Testing,
Troubleshooting and Calibration is called Test & Measurement,
Here we use Test Instruments like Oscilloscopes and Digital
Multimeters. Medical Electronics and Military Designs require more
meticulous, robust and dedicated
designs with higher reliability and accuracy. In Medical
electronics product safety is vital, Consumer products should
be affordable without compromising Human Safety factors.
Then you need to look into Usability and
Ergonomics, which is a science that helps us develop practical
and cost-effective products, which have an optimum Man-Machine
Interface. EMI, ESD, RFI are other important aspects that deals with
Electromagnetic, Electrostatic and RF; Noise
and Interference; in the Stable performance of products in
Real World Harsh Environments or the Reliable
Transmission of data. Lastly Computing
and Communication makes products more versatile in any
application. EDA, Technical Computing and Systems Engineering helps
creating products and complete process solutions.
Industrial Automation and Process Control
Automation and Control is the predecessor of Robotics
and Mechatronics.
A Control system is made of Sensors sending acquired data to a Controller
which operates Actuators to manage the process in Real Time.
Starting from a Bimetal
Thermostat to a SCADA,
the controller has grown from mechanical -- electrical -- analog --
digital devices to microcontroller-computer based equipment.
Both in Control
Systems and Robotics the Collaboration between Robots or
Control Units, leads to the development of wireless network of
Interactive, Intelligent and Distributed Self Governing Systems. The
outcome is Web Process Automation, Web
Applications based Solutions in Monitoring, Analyzing and
Configuring these Sophisticated
Networked Systems.
