Hello,
In 2002, I was in the final year of an electronics degree at a UK university. All the various lecturers were coming to speak to us about their subject, as they wished us to do a masters and choose their subject.
The Microwave Engineering lecturer came in, and announced to us all that "Microwave engineering is the last bastion of analog electronics in the UK".
Does this mean that there are active political plans to get rid of analog electronics in the UK? I regard SMPS as analog electronics. Do the UK politicians wish to get rid of SMPS work in the UK?
It makes you wonder because below the age of 16 years old, no single UK school teaches electronics. By that I mean they don't teach about eg stuff like Transistors, opamps, 555 oscillators, linear regulators etc etc.
The only semiconductor that's discussed in UK under 16 education is the rectifier diode. That's it.
