2021 Engineering Research Studies

For the past five years, EETech Media has partnered with Wilson Research Group to analyze hard data straight from industry professionals around the globe. We establish valuable year-over-year trends and compare demographics to better define how engineers interact with the market.

Please select your study from the list below.

Professional Electrical Engineers

Electrical engineers are some of the most influential professionals in the electronics industry. In order to understand these engineers, we must go beyond the basic assumptions that characterize them. We take a look at how they consume information, make purchasing decisions, and what they buy.

Makers & Hobbyists

Defining the term “maker” is sometimes difficult in the electronics industry. A “maker” is someone who designs, develops, prototypes, or tinkers with electronics outside of traditional professional contexts. Makers can be STEAM students and educators, hobbyists tinkering in their garage, or entrepreneurs prototyping a device they’d like to bring to market. There are also practicing professional engineers who classify themselves as makers because they enjoy creating projects at home in their spare time.

Educators

Educators represent a direct line to understanding what the next trends in the engineering field will be. They are entrusted with preparing future engineers with the skills and information they need to succeed, which often means that they must stay on top of new trends as a matter of necessity.

Students

In an industry that holds cutting-edge professional design above almost anything else, engineering students may seem like a strange demographic to study. The reality, however, is that students—whether they’re undergrads destined to be circuit designers or they’re pursuing a doctorate to revolutionize the field through their academic research—represent the future of the electrical engineering world.
