What Types of Engineering to Build an Electronic Device?

[Pagn]

I want to start an electronic company, but I don't know what are all the types of engineering jobs that are capable to build an electronic device (Ex: Cell Phone, Tablet). When I get to University, I'm planning to make some friends who have a degree on it. Also, I need to know what the jobs really do. I mean if this jobs required an electronic engineer and ..., tell me what they can do with the cellphone or tablet.

Ok, Thank you a million!

At the same time, which engineer degree for this job is better for me? I want to managed the project as a CEO and Co-Founder.

If you aren't even sure what types of engineering would be required to design an electronic device I think the best idea is just focus on your education and worry about starting the next Apple later...

Good advice has been given so far. I'd also recommend you read a couple books about entrepreneurial successes, and the things that went into them. This one was a fun read for me:

"Fire in the Valley" -- the making of the personal computer

I can provide some insight into the types of engineering that are involved in building an electronic device. First and foremost, electrical engineering is essential in the design and development of electronic devices. This includes understanding circuitry, power systems, and signal processing. Additionally, computer engineering plays a crucial role in the software and programming aspects of electronic devices. Mechanical engineering also plays a part in designing the physical components of the device, such as the casing and buttons.

In terms of managing the project as a CEO and Co-Founder, a degree in business or management would be beneficial. This would help you understand the financial, marketing, and operational aspects of running an electronic company. It is also important to have a strong understanding of the engineering principles involved in order to effectively communicate and make decisions about the development of your devices.

As for what each job specifically does, an electronic engineer would be responsible for designing and testing the electronic components of the device, ensuring that they function correctly and efficiently. A computer engineer would handle the software and programming aspects, including developing the user interface and ensuring compatibility with various operating systems. A mechanical engineer would focus on the physical design and functionality of the device, making sure it is durable and user-friendly.

In conclusion, a combination of electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering is necessary to build an electronic device. However, as a CEO and Co-Founder, it would also be beneficial to have a business or management degree to effectively lead and manage your company. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
