IDC Books - Technical Training that Works

Electronic Engineering

Electronics engineering involves an intimate knowledge of the behaviour of electrons to develop components, devices, systems or equipment. There are many subfields such as biomedical engineering, power electronics, digital signal and image processing. In common with all of the courses within the Electronics course category, students in this field require a multi-disciplinary approach. The short courses in this category offer practical, industry focused technical content, that can be used straight away.
