According to the latest Engineering Employment Outlook published by Kelly Services, the United States will require the services of nearly a quarter of a million new engineers over the next 10 years. Electrical engineers, including printed circuit board designers, are part of the “big four” fields of engineering that make up over half of the approximately two million engineers in the United States. The report predicts that industries such as aerospace, renewable energy and oil and gas will all need an increase of engineers, leading to nearly 250,000 new jobs by 2023. This would represent an 11 percent expansion rate. Students in these engineering fields will be able to put their skills to use with helping the country grow mechanically and technologically by fully tapping into the potential of the resources available.

Engineering Growth and Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing

In addition to affecting those getting into the engineering field and building their careers, the increased rate in engineering job growth affects those companies involved in the printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly processes. As PCB manufacturers have seen over the past few years alone, the ability to develop smaller, faster and more reliable circuit boards will drastically play a role in how the United States progresses as a country. The ideas of the future are already here, with more and more prototypes and designs being introduced each day. The next step for engineers is to retool their PCB designs to make use of the latest components and materials on the market. To learn more, contact a representative at Advanced Circuits today.

Future Uses for PCBs from Advanced Circuits

Whether it is by making cell phones and tablets smaller and faster or adding features to our cars and homes, printed circuit boards are sure to become even more important in our lives. As you dream up new inventions and products for the next generation, think of ways to integrate PCBs that will help you stand apart. To learn more about how you can begin designing and ordering circuit boards, contact a representative today.

Engineering students are the future for engineering advances and, as such, it is important to support student endeavors. Advanced Circuits believes in investing in the future of engineering and has set up a program for engineering students. The program includes six different ways that Advanced Circuits looks to give back to students. If you are looking for a sponsor for your next robotic and/or solar car/boat competition, give us a call about our sponsorship options. You can also get PCB 2-Layer Full Spec orders for $33 each or 4-Layer orders for $66 each to help save on money while you continue your steps toward innovation.

More Savings for Students from Advanced Circuits

In addition to special pricing on PCBs, students and professional engineers alike can benefit from free tools provided by Advanced Circuits. With free PCB layout software you can design your PCBs and use our free PCB file check system to check for manufacturability before placing your order.
