manufacturing and power systems engineering.

Electronics engineering is a very diverse field and it is currently undergoing expansion as new applications are found for

electronic equipment. This has led to the development of two relatively new fields of engineering – software engineering and mechatronics.

  1. Software engineers design and modify complex software systems and computer hardware. Mechatronics Engineering combines the disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering. It is associated with the use of digital computers to control machines and processes. It is also used to create diverse products such as substitutes for human sensors and organs and computer controlled machine tools.
  2. Mechatronics Engineering is a rapidly developing field and as the world becomes steadily more technologically advanced it will be of increasing importance. Electronic engineers work for companies and government departments that design, construct, and test electronic devices (including computers) or that are involved with their installation.
