Electrical Engineering

Future Prospects

A popular branch of engineering which deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. The subfields include electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, RF engineering, and signal processing. Electrical engineers are considered to deal with the problems associated with systems such as electric power transmission and electrical machines. The course mainly includes fundamentals and principles of Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Project Management. The course contains designing and testing ICs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors,. The students also learn to design electronic circuits, computer systems, and also develop control systems. The sub-disciplines of Electrical and Electronics Engineering include power, control, electronics, microelectronics, and Signal Processing, Telecommunications, Instrumentation, and Computers. Electrical Engineering refers to electrical machinery, problems of generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy, electrical controls in factories, motors and their control and transformers. One of its objectives is to provide electrical power to customers.
