What is electrical engineering?



Electrical engineering comprises the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism.











Sub-disciplines of electrical engineering and their scope:



  • Computer engineering

To design and control of computing devices with the application of electrical systems.

  • Electronic engineering

To design the circuit that use electromagnetic properties of electrical components such as resistors, diode, capacitor, and transistor to achieve a particular functionality.

  • Power engineering

The generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, and the design of devices such as transformers, electric generators, electric motors, high voltage engineering and power electronics. 



  • Optic engineering

The design of instruments and systems that utilize the properties of electromagnetic radiations.

Electrical engineers have made remarkable contribution to our world. Electrical engineers helped invent the computer, DSL, cellular phones, microchips and solar panels to name just a few examples.
DVD players, cellular phones, radio, television, computers, airplanes, space vehicles, cars, motorcycles, home appliances, life saving medical equipments, computer games and Martian battles fought with joysticks represent a mere sampling of now familiar facets of life made possible with the input of electrical engineers.
