Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design and
application of equipment, devices and systems that use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
Electrical engineering is now divided into a wide range of fields, including computer engineering,
systems engineering, power engineering, telecommunications, radio-frequency engineering, signal
processing, instrumentation, and electronics. Many of these disciplines overlap with other engineering
branches, spanning a huge number of specializations including hardware engineering, power electronics,
electromagnetics and waves, microwave engineering, nanotechnology, electrochemistry, renewable energies,
mechatronics, and electrical materials.
Subfields within the Electrical Engineering Discipline
- Power – the generation, transmission, and
distribution of electricity as well as the design of related devices
- Control – focuses on the modeling of a diverse range of dynamic systems and the design
of controllers that will cause these systems to behave in the desired manner
- Electronics - the design and testing of electronic circuits that use the properties of
components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors to achieve a
particular functionality
- Microelectronics and nanoelectronics - the design and microfabrication of very small
electronic circuit components for use in an integrated circuit or sometimes for use on their own
as a general electronic component; nanoelectronics is the further scaling of devices down to
nanometer levels.
- Signal Processing – the analysis and design of signals
- Telecommunications - the transmission of information across a communication channel such
as a coax cable, optical fiber or free space.
- Instrumentation - the design of devices to measure physical quantities such as pressure,
flow, and temperature.
- Computers – the design of computers and computer systems.
