工作描述

自从电子技术出现以来,现代消费产品的技术功能日益增强。从电路到传感器,我们被嵌入电子元件的商品所包围。这种复杂的组件需要训练有素的电子技术员根据需要进行安装、维护和修理。 

这些专家的工作涉及广泛的产品类型--从计算机和微波炉到音响、安全和航空电子系统的一切。一些技术人员专门从事一个领域的工作,而另一些人则能够排除故障并修理几乎任何东西。他们也可能被要求更换旧的组件或系统,并以升级的方式完全取代它们。 

职业生涯的回报
  • 保持电子系统的平稳和安全运行
  • 防止潜在的高成本或有害的干扰
  • 能够在各种电子零件和系统上工作
  • 有可能找到一份需要安全审查的工作(这可能意味着更多的工资)。

期望与牺牲

Electronics Technicians are relied upon to ensure electronic components and systems operate as intended. Depending on the issue, electronic failures from overheating, stress, incorrect voltage, or other factors can be costly or even dangerous depending on the situation. Technicians are required to be thoroughly knowledgeable in their field and able to perform duties correctly and efficiently. 

这就是说,他们并不被期望知道所有的事情!技术人员往往需要研究制造商的技术手册,以排除故障和修复他们以前没有处理过的项目。因此,有一个持续的学习曲线,即使对于那些已经在这个行业工作了一段时间的人来说。 

对于从事需要安全许可的工作的技术人员来说,他们必须通过模范的个人行为来保持安全许可。这可能需要格外注意在社交媒体上发布信息,管理债务,以及一般地远离麻烦。 

当前趋势

As with every technology-related industry, the field of electronics is changing and advancing. For starters, electronics are being incorporated into more and more products every year. From electric vehicles to wearable technology that connects to the Internet and the cloud, designers and manufacturers keep finding ways to enhance their goods with the help of electronic components. Indeed, the Internet of Things concept seeks to digitally connect all manner of objects via sensors and software — which should translate to plenty of electronic work opportunities for many years to come. 

从事这一职业的人在年轻时喜欢做什么样的事情......

电子技术员年轻时可能喜欢摆弄电子设备和小玩意,拆开它们看看里面有什么,同时参考书本或视频来学习它们如何操作。他们可能总是能自如地使用小型手工工具,沉浸在他们所专注的任何项目中。最有可能的是,他们相对有耐心,能够长时间保持专注,同时运用解决问题的技巧,密切关注小细节。

需要的教育和培训
  • 电子技术员通常要完成电气/电子技术方面的理科副学士学位,但有些职位可能需要本科学位。
  • Most electronics-related college programs are accredited by ABET
  1. Students can use ABET’s program search tool to find accredited programs. If the program you’re interested in isn’t listed, reach out to the school to double-check
  2. Note, ABET accreditation is voluntary. Not being ABET accredited doesn’t mean the program isn’t good quality. Still, accreditation offers proof that the program’s curriculum meets rigorous standards. Many large employers prefer (or are required) to hire graduates of ABET-approved programs
  • 常见的课程可能包括代数、物理、模拟和数字电子学、计算机编程语言、集成电路、工程入门、数字设计、嵌入式微控制器和网络。
  • 一些工人通过电子学徒计划或通过入伍的军事训练开始工作。
