EVOLUTION OF ELECTRICAL

ENGINEERING FIELD
 WHAT IS ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING?
• Electrical engineering is one of the newer
branches of engineering, and dates back
to the late 19th century. It is the branch of
engineering that deals with the
technology of electricity. Electrical
engineers work on a wide range of
components, devices and systems, from
tiny microchips to huge power station
generators.

THE
DYNAMO
 THE DYNAMO
• The invention of the crude electric generator
known as the electrical dynamo in 1831 by Michael
Faraday made it possible for the industrial use of
electricity. Faraday’s electrical dynamo was able to
generate stable eclectic current, which was a major
problem by then. The dynamo also enabled the
invention of other conversion devices that were
powered by electricity.

• Two scientists, Thomas Edison, an American, and a
British scientist Joseph Swan invented the light bulb
in 1878. The duo developed incandescent light
bulbs in their respective nations, which saw the
electric lighting of houses and later streets. In 1882,
Edison further improved the light bulb by relying on
his previous direct current system to illuminate the
first electric street lamp in the New York.

• Nikola Tesla is well known for discovering
alternating current (AC), and the
polyphase distribution system, which is
particularly useful for transmitting power
to electric AC motors. Tesla was
America’s super hero for his invention.

• The now most famous and important Philo Farnsworth
invented household electronic gadget in 1928.
Farnsworth made the first public demonstration of an
electric television in this year. The public display led to
a few countries making televised broadcasts in the
early 1930′s. However, the end of the First World War
saw a rapid rise in the televised broadcast subscription
throughout the world.

 RADAR AND RADIOLOCATION
• The First World War saw an increase in the risk of
aerial attack. Nations were more concerned and
took deliberate measures to develop technologies
that would identify the aerial attacks. Through the
radar technology, nations would simulate the
aerial attacks. Heinrich Hertz is the one who
invented radar.

• It was not until 1941 when Konrad Zuse developed the
world’s first programmable computer dubbed the Z3.
These developments were vital as they saw the
development of other land breaking technologies
including the NASA Apollo mission. Scientists relied on
the great arithmetical prowess of the Z3 to make their
inventions.

• The modern day long distance telephone
services were made possible by the invention of
satellites in 1979. The modern-day satellite
advances enhanced the establishment of the
satellite communication launched in Tokyo in
the 1990′s.

• In 1981, the RFC 791 introduced version 4
of the internet protocol (IP) while RFC 793
introduced the Transmission Control
protocol (TCP). These two enabled the
creation of the TCP/IP that is heavily relied
upon by the current day internet.

• The late 1990′s and early 21st century saw a rapid increase in
demand for the internet. Consequently, demand for higher
communication bandwidth increased. The internet protocol
traffic saw an unprecedented rate of increase than that of the
integrated circuit in Moore’s law. The optical fiber cables saw an
increasing usage, as they are able to carry up to 100 times more
information than the conventional cables suited electronic
amplifiers. The fiber optic cables have seen an increase in
internet access to billions of people across the world.

were first used in Japan in 1999 but saw a global
penetration in mid-2000 to become the standard
type of mobile phones today. The development of
portable internet access and the Wi-Fi continues to
supply users with access to the flow of information.
