Career Choice

Next year I intend to study electronic engineering. This career is strongly related to industrial engineering, but specialised in the field of electronics, dealing with electical circuits, processors, electronic devices, systems and equipment. It has a wide range of professional opportunities: working in the industry, working for government organizations such as public transportation, the business world, computer-circuitry, mechanics, robotics, nanotechnology and investigation (often in cooperation with other disciplines).

Although it is still too early to decide, I am interested in studying a Master Degree in Robotics once I finish my basic studies. As for job options, I am particularly interested in the fields of technological research and investigation, applying electronics to bionics and bioengineering, robot programming and design, and nanotechnology.

I have already sent an application and taken the entry test to Deusto University: http://www.deusto.es.

Other possibilities include the Universidad de Navarra: http://www.unav.es/, and the Universidad del País Vasco: http://www.ehu.es .

Other universities offer electronics only as a specialization coming from Industrial Engineering. An example is the Universidad de Alfonso X El Sabio: http://www.uax.es/indice.htm .
