Lectrical Engineering Is A Field of Engineering That Generally Deals With The Study and Application

Electrical engineering is a broad field that deals with electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It became an identifiable occupation after technologies like the telegraph, telephone, and power distribution became widespread in the late 19th century. Electronics then became part of daily life with broadcasting and recording devices. Inventions like the transistor and integrated circuit further reduced electronic costs. Electrical engineering now includes many subfields like electronics, computing, power systems, and communications, with electronics intersecting all areas. Electrical engineers generally have an engineering degree and may be certified members of professional organizations.

lectrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and

electromagnetism. This field first became an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, andelectric power distribution and use. Subsequently, broadcasting and recording media made electronics part of daily life. The invention of the transistorand, subsequently, the integrated circuit brought down the cost of electronics to the point where they can be used in almost any household object. Thepersonal computer and information technology are the most complex electronics yet to be used in everyday life. Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering,telecommunications, control systems, RF engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics. The subject of electronic engineeringis often treated as its own subfield but it intersects with all the other subfields, including the power electronics of power engineering. Electrical engineers typically hold a degree in electrical engineering or electronic engineering. Practicing engineers may have professional certificationand be members of a professional body. Such bodies include the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Electrical engineers work in a very wide range of industries and the skills required are likewise variable. These range from basic circuit theory to the management skills required of project manager. The tools and equipment that an individual engineer may need are similarly variable, ranging from a simple voltmeter to a top end analyzer to sophisticated design and manufacturing software.
