THEORETICAL APPROACH
Career background1
The term electronic engineering was coined in the 20th century and ago
reference to a branch of engineering whose objective is the resolution of
engineering problems such as:
• Control of industrial and electrical processes
• Control of power electronic systems

electromagnetism.

• The transformation of electricity in order to make machines, products,

devices work correctly and using energy
electrical.
The history of electronic engineering dates back to the end of the 19th century and
beginning of the 20th century when a series of scientific experiments related to
electrical phenomenology and
electromagnetism. In this way a new specialty emerges that first
He started out in physics and later entered the field of engineering.
The great inventor Thomas Alva Edison was responsible, in 1884, for the
carrying out work whose objective was the improvement of the incandescent lamp.
During their development, he detected a thermionic phenomenon that would give
rise to the first electronic valve, thus giving rise to this new engineering.
Nikola Tesla contributed to this branch of engineering its usefulness in
telecommunications when in 1893 he carried out the first public demonstration of

a radio communication.
In the following years, and with the beginning of the new century, they left
developing new inventions such as:
• In 1907 Lee de Foster integrated a grid between the cathode and the
anode of a diode to improve the telegraph receivers of yesteryear,
thus inventing a primitive diode, this being the one that would support the basis of
modern electronic engineering.
• In 1912 Edwin Armstrong developed the regenerative circuit, the Oscillator

Armstrong and the Superheterodyne Receiver.
• In 1947 William Brandford Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Houser

Brattain developed the transistor, becoming a great electronic revolution in
the late 1950s. It was perfected later by developing technology with
integrated circuits.
7
These new advances and inventions initiated the invention and discovery of
new materials and processes in the manufacture of products developed thanks to
to electronic engineering.
Currently, the Electronic Engineering degree is responsible for solving
problems such as process control, the operation of electronic devices applied in
telecommunications and industrial automation.
This professional is also capable of developing projects that are based on
mathematical and physical foundations, circuit theory, the use of
microcontrollers and microprocessors and advanced topics such as

industrial automation.
In general the field of action is:
• Electronic systems design
• Electronic instruments
• Services
• Industrial processes, automation of machines and equipment
• Education
• Adaptation and integration of technologies to various disciplines
• Application and maintenance of electronic equipment within the industry
• Information, networks and telecommunications areas
• Services and research and teaching
8
Given these general approaches, the purchasing power of the professional

in the workplace is briefly shown below, especially
everything in the country.
According to the website tusalario.com for Electronic Engineering

professionals in El Salvador, the minimum and maximum salary for them is between
$552.50 to $2,961.05 per month.
Now, we will analyze the academic training part that UTLA

offers the aspiring electronic engineer

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE TO TRAIN

Training Areas:
The study plan of the Electronic Engineering degree is structured by two areas
training: Basic and Specialized.
The subjects of the basic area are all those that contemplate general knowledge to base
the career, such as laws and theories that will be applied in other subjects; as well as some that
address the humanistic, social and environmental part
environmental.
The subjects of the specialized area are distributed in four branches: projecting,
automate, design and maintain electronic equipment.
In general, the training received by the graduate student from the Latin American
Technical University (UTLA) will allow them to broadly develop their intellectual and practical
capacities and skills in the electronics sector. It will also help the student to orient themselves
to the area of specialization that they wish to develop in their future professional actions.

METHODOLOGY
Kind of investigation
A preliminary exploratory study was carried out given that the university did
not have any study related to the labor market of the Electronic Engineering major.
Subsequently, a descriptive investigation was carried out since the
The objective of this document is to provide a diagnosis of the work environment of
professionals graduated in the area of Electronic Engineering, in different
national and regional companies.
A qualitative approach was given based on personalized surveys to the
different authors (Employers, Active Students, Graduates and Graduates of
University).
The information was contrasted with that collected in different exchanges.
employment and profiles of university graduates in both cases at the national level
and regional.
Population and sample
Because this study was carried out in a survey format, we
limited to the companies closest to the university, either because there are students
who work in them not only in the area of Electronic Engineering but in other areas of
production and administration, 8 of them were considered
classified between medium and large companies.
28
As for active students, there is a population of 50

students up to the date of the study, of which only 29 of them collaborated
in completing the proposed survey.
Among university graduates and graduates in the last five

years there was the participation of 15 of them.
In the selection of universities at the national level, they are all those that give
that race counting on us a total of 4 universities and at a regional level the
selection was random with a total of 19 universities.
In the selection of entry profiles, the information was extracted from

various job board pages given a total of 4 entry profiles
countries including El Salvador.
Collection techniques and instruments
The data related to the entry profiles in this document

They were obtained from job advertisements published on the Internet.
The data obtained was purified before being analyzed, the technique used
was natural language processing. Searching for names
surrounded by a pre-established set of phrases like professionals of
Electronic Engineering, for example.
The survey is made up of a series of questions that are used to obtain

information from a sample of people and institutions already involved.
