Tomorrow’s Engineers Week – What would you say to inspire Tomorrow’s Electronics Engineers?

Technology is the future, and Electronics Engineering is a fascinating career that is integral to advances in healthcare, net zero, AI, communications and much more.

This year, as part of our celebrations for Tomorrow’s Engineers Week and National Engineering Day, we asked some young Electronics Engineers to share a few words of inspiration for those considering a career in engineering.

Ben summarised it really neatly:

“Electronics is a career of the future. Where do you want your future to take you?”
Ben Huggett, CMR Surgical

Have an impact

“For me, Electronics is a very creative discipline. It allows me to use maths and physics to solve real-world hands-on problems, and I find that extremely rewarding.”
Lucy Hodgins, University of Southampton

“Imagine creating the next generation of smart devices that can change the world. Electronics offers endless opportunities to innovate and make a real impact. Your innovations could revolutionize how we live, work, and connect.”
Amrik Sadhra, Arm Ltd.

Do something you love

“Electronics is an exciting and rewarding field to be involved in – it powers the world! If you’re passionate about understanding how things work and turning ideas into real world devices, it just might be for you.”
Qali Mohamoud, Aston University

“If the idea of programming microprocessors and designing circuits excites you, electronics engineering is a path that will keep you engaged and challenged. You’ll be amazed by how these tiny electronic components come together to perform complex tasks.”
Lau Yi Jun, University of Southampton/AMD

“Electronics allows you to have a deeper understanding of the devices you use every day, and the opportunity to have an impact on devices of the future, whether that be helping improve energy efficiency to tackle climate change or more accessible medical devices!”
William Burbidge, University of York/Microelectronics Support Centre – MSC

Endless possibilities

“Despite having studied the same Electronic Engineering course at the same university, I don’t know any two people in my cohort who have the same job. In fact, our careers are so diverse even just a year or two on, that I’m certain we wouldn’t be able to swap jobs even for a day, despite having the same background. When we say that the possibilities within Electronics are endless – we truly mean it!”
Oana Lazar, University of Southampton/Tessent Embedded Analytics
