Pandemic, Shortages,
and Electronic Engineering
Salvatore Pennisi, Fellow IEEE
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and the current shortage of integrated
circuits has highlighted that electronic components (chips) constitute
the basis of our information society. However, chips and
electronic systems are not static commodities, as they greatly
evolve in terms of functionality and performance. It is not possible
to sustain future developments by simply using the available
electronics. Electronic engineers are specifically trained professionals
who will ensure this continuous technological evolution

by designing and optimizing electronic devices, circuits, and
systems for tomorrow's applications. Unfortunately, teenagers
seem to be losing interest in this field and a more serious chip
shortage may happen which could be caused by the basic shortage
of next-generation electronic engineers. It seems therefore
quite important to revitalize the perception of this discipline in
the imagination of young people, to inspire new talents at a time
when chips and electronic systems are entering almost all areas
of human life and new job opportunities are opening up. To this
end, a key factor could be the realization of a motivating communication
campaign for school students and their families, in
which public and private stakeholders together with universities
and professional associations like the IEEE act in a structured
and coordinated way.
