Board Developed Course

 

 

 

Why study Electronics?

 

Electronics and electronic devices have increasingly become part of our everyday lives. Indeed, today's generation has been born into the ‘Electronics Age' and are very comfortable within it. Electronics is an interesting, fascinating, exciting and practical subject.

  

 

Working in the Electronics industry involves:

• Working in one of the fastest growing and most dynamic industries, both locally and around the world.
• Designing, developing, programming, testing, diagnosing, installing and maintaining highly sophisticated, state of the art products and systems.
• Travel and career opportunities nationally and internationally.

 

 

Samples of occupations students can aim for in the Electronics industry:

• Electricial Engineering

• Telecommunication

• Biomedical Engineer

• Aeronautical Engineer

• Marine Elect/Engineer

• Software Engineer

• Computer systems Engineer

• Refrigeration and air conditioning

• Sustainable energy technologies

• Automotive Elect/Engineer

• Information Technology

• Robotics

• Mechatronics
