UFSC Electronic Engineering program trains professionals with a high technical qualification to work in various market segments, such as information technology (IT), semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, biomedical engineering, telecommunications, electrical/electronic, among others.

In these segments, the Electronic Engineer finds a vast range of working options, such as elaborating or executing technical projects, managing projects, or working as a sales engineer. Alternatively, the Electronic Engineer can continue their studies at the graduate level, in order to work in research, development and innovation.

Electronic Engineering is a dynamic and ever-evolving field that offers numerous challenges and opportunities in cutting-edge technology sectors. In the information technology domain, where internet-connected smartphones dominate, we can envision a future where Electronic Engineering plays a pivotal role. As we advance towards the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, each object will be uniquely identified and capable of remote access from anywhere in the world. This positions Electronic Engineering at the forefront of technological

IoT variants, such as Body Area Networks, will enable network connectivity for devices installed in an individual’s body, enhancing diagnosis or optimizing the administration of substances and the monitoring of individuals. These advances rely on minimizing the size and power consumption of the electronics involved, as well as improving data communication technologies. Therefore, innovation is necessary across all segments: design of new materials, optimization of devices, custom design of circuits and systems, and development of embedded software associated with computational intelligence.

The fundamentals to work in these markets are acquired in the UFSC Electronic Engineering program. The program’s curriculum is divided into two parts: one covering essential concepts with an emphasis on Mathematics and Physics and the other having a professional focus, with an emphasis on Biomedical Engineering, Telecommunications, Electronic Systems (microelectronics) and Digital Systems.

Florianópolis is recognized as an emerging technological hub that has about 600 hardware and software technology services companies, representing one of the main sources of tax revenue in the city. Among these companies, there are well-established and growing microelectronics companies and a significant number of young companies in various stages of incubation installed in local incubators. All this, combined with important research centers and technological innovation parks, stand out as prospective instruments for the future career of the Electronic Engineer graduated from UFSC.
