Definition:
- Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with
the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The
field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century
after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply.
It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control
systems, signal processing and telecommunications.
Education:
- Electrical engineers typically possess an academic degree with a major in
electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or electrical and electronic
engineering. The same fundamental principles are taught in all programs, though
emphasis may vary according to title. The length of study for such a degree is
usually four or five years and the completed degree may be designated as a
Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Technology or
Bachelor of Applied Science depending upon the university. In our university the degree is Bachelor of
Engineering and the length of the degree is four year. The degree generally
includes units covering physics, mathematics, computer science, project
management and specific topics in electrical engineering.
Work & Sub-disciplines:
-
Today
most engineering work involves the use of computers & circuit theory and it
is commonplace to use computer-aided design programs when designing electrical
systems. Nevertheless, the ability to sketch ideas is still invaluable for
quickly communicating with others.
Electrical
engineering has many sub-disciplines, the most popular of which are following:
Ø Power
Ø Control
Ø Microelectronics
Ø Signal
processing
Ø Telecommunications
Ø Instrumentations
Ø Computers
Conclusion:
-
Electrical engineering is a field of
engineering in which students learn about the structure and the working of the
electronic devices. Computers and circuits are the most important part of
electrical engineering in present
because of the embedded system branch of electrical engineering.
