Electronic systems sense what is happening in the world around us. Computer systems process this data to extract information, or to control some activity. Virtually every aspect of our lives involves electronic and computer technology.

Tablet computers, smart phones and internet banking are commonplace today. These are the obvious examples of electronics and computers in modern day life. However, most electronics and computer systems are hidden:

• In appliances (from toasters to washing machines to refrigerators)
• In cars
• In traffic systems
• In heating systems.

Electronics and computers have integrated and become all-pervasive in modern-day life, which ensures the continued relevance of this area of engineering.
