that foster their integrity, continuing professional education, development and growth. This article also
covers the basic definition and interpretation of terms as the basis of each terminology to be used in this
Act to be practiced by Electronics Engineers. It includes,” Electronics”, “Professional Electronics
Engineer”, “Electronics Engineer”, “Electronics Technician”, “Computer”, “Communications”,
“Information and Communications Technology”, “Broadcasting”, etc. Lastly, it discussed the Categories
of Practice which are the Professional Electronics Engineer (PECE), Electronics Engineer (ECE), and
Electronics Technician (ECT) together with its Nature and Scope of Practice such as, application of
engineering sciences and/or principles to the investigation, analysis, synthesis, planning, design,
specification, research and development, provision, procurement, marketing and sales, manufacture
and production, construction and installation, tests/measurements/control, operation, repair, servicing,
technical support and maintenance of electronic components, devices, products, apparatus,
instruments, equipment, systems, networks, operations and processes in the fields of electronics,
including communications and/or telecommunications, information and communications technology
(ICT), computers and their networking and hardware/firmware/software development and applications,
broadcast/broadcasting, cable and wireless television, consumer and industrial electronics, electro-
optics/photonics/opto-electronics, electro-magnetics, avionics, aerospace, navigational and military
applications, medical electronics, robotics, cybernetics, biometrics and all other related and convergent
