Electrical and electronic devices like computers, mobile phones, and power systems have made the world we live in today. Others will shape our future—like spacecraft, autonomous electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and new communication networks.
Electronics is the study of the way information moves around inside a device, through components like circuits or microprocessors. These days computer systems work closely with electronics, using code to replace large electronic chips—meaning we can create smaller, smarter devices.
When you study Electronics at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, you’ll be developing and designing real systems and components for the world we live in today, and helping to create those that will shape our future.
I decided to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering because I wanted to focus on renewable energy and assist in reducing the harm of non-renewable energy sources on our planet.
