Abstract :
WE ARE LIVING in the world of electronics and atomic energy, the jet airplane, the guided missile, the earth satellite, the digital computer, the automatic factory, and, unfortunately, the hydrogen bomb. I have set myself the task of talking about that part of this amazing world which belongs to the electrical engineer. I would like to start by drawing a picture of the electrical engineer´s world of today as I see it and to finish by drawing some very general conclusions as to the preparation a young electrical engineer should have before he is launched on his career in this world.
