3 simple rules for Electronic Engineers

(Rules)³ for Electronics Engineers

1.     Sir J J Thomson discovered electron in 1897. At that time, nobody had imagined at all, what this new branch of Engineering could do for them.

2.     Just 119 years down into human history and Electronics has brought us at a stage where we can converse with another person in a fraction of second. That is just one example of what technology of today can do for us.

3.     One of the pillars of today’s technology advancement i.e. invention of a Bipolar Junction Transistor happened in 1947.

4.     First Integrated Circuit was developed in 1958 through which engineers came to know that they could pack more and more number of transistors on a single silicon chip.

5.     We got Moore’s law in 1965 coined in by Dr. Gordon Moore ( Former CEO of INTEL) in which he said that density of transistors will keep on doubling every 18 months.

And since then there has been no looking back. Electronics has been following three golden rules stated in an easy language as below –

A.   Make the devices as small as possible no matter whatsoever is the current size of the devices.

B.   Make the devices as power efficient as possible no matter whatsoever power they are currently drawing.

C.    Make the devices as fast as possible, no matter at whatsoever speed those are currently working at.

6.     If one looks around himself, implementation of these three rules could be    easily observed in terms of much faster, power efficient and smaller in size Personal computers, mobile phones and all other electronic gadgets.

7.     Even, each generation of Apple iPhone seems to be following these 3 rules.

God bless engineers and researchers so that they continue to work following these 3 rules for the betterment of humanity.
