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.

Politics is about contestations for power and how we make decisions in society – who gets what, when, and how – from the local community to the nation and internationally.

Politics is concerned with the conflict of ideas and values. It has to do with who governs. It’s also has to do with how and why decisions that affect all of us are made. That could vary from how much students should pay to study at university to whether the UN should sanction military interventions.
