Analog and digital
As more and more systems and frameworks transition to digital workspaces, electrical engineers work at the intersection of many disciplines to support this arduous task. They also work and collaborate with other engineers to streamline and refine system integrations.
Trends and innovations
Electric propulsion
A trend already well-known in the automotive industry, aerospace products are continuing to shift towards electric propulsion. Offering quieter crafts, and reduced cost & emissions, electric engineers, along with propulsion engineers, are developing new segments of the aerospace industry.
This opens huge possibilities for the future of space, drone, and aircraft design.
IoT (Internet of Things) technologies
The Internet of Things is a new development that comprises a network of connected devices able to communicate, affect and manipulate each other along with other devices. From phones and computers, to sensors, actuators and other electronic components, IoT technologies allow us to gather and handle data between devices, analyze data, and automate processes.
This is especially true for safety systems, where IoT allows us to monitor breaks and failures in parts to detect them before they happen.
Wearable Tech
As the applications of wearable devices become wider and even more necessary, electrical engineers lead the way in allowing personnel to be more efficient in a safer way. Wearable technology allows electrical engineers to develop life-saving devices to prevent injury and workplace accidents.
Especially so as headways are made into space tourism, planetary colonization, and into IoT technologies.
Wireless Power Transfer
While early in its stage of development, wireless power transmission holds promise to change the future of electronics. WPT, also known as wireless energy transfer, is the transmission of electrical energy from a source to a receiver without using interconnected wires. With many uses, it also allows us to provide energy in remote or hazardous areas where it is difficult to connect to power systems, essential for space exploration.
