Electronics Engineering in the Mining Industry


The term electrical engineer is also known as electronic engineering. This career uses scientific knowledge of the behavior and the effects of electrons to develop components, devices, systems, or equipment such as transistors, circuit boards, and electron tubes. In the United States, the electrical engineering encompasses all electrical disciplines including electronics. The Institute of electrical and Electronics Engineers is one of the most important and influential organizations for electronics engineers. 

The Responsibility of Electronics Engineer

Electronics engineer plan and implement research methodology and procedures by applying the principles of electrical theory to engineering projects. They study technical drawings of electrical systems and topographical maps to ensure installation and operations conform to standards and customer requirements. They develop applications of controls, instruments for new commercial and industrial uses. They also layout electric power plants and distribution lines; and operate and design software to perform engineering tasks. 

Electronics engineers compile data and writes reports regarding existing and potential engineering studies and projects. They collect data relating to commercial and residential development, population, and power system interconnection to determine operating efficiency of electrical systems. They estimate labor material and costs, and prepare specifications for purchase of materials and equipment. Furthermore, they evaluate and analyses data regarding electric power systems and stations, and recommends changes to improve operating efficiency; evaluate and analyses data regarding electric power systems and stations, and recommends changes to improve operating equipment. 

Electronics engineers inspect completed installations and observe operations for conformance to design and equipment specifications, and operational and safety standards. They confer with engineers, customers to meet up potential projects and projects.  They perform detailed calculations to compute and establish manufacturing, construction and installation standards and specifications. They also conduct field surveys and studies maps, graphs, diagrams, and other data to identify and correct power system problems. They investigate customer or public complaints, and sometimes they do determine nature and extent of problem. And lastly, electronics engineers direct operations and coordinates manufacturing, construction, installation, maintenance, and testing to ensure compliance with customer requirements.
