The Electrical and Electronics Engineering major covers a variety of sciences including electricity, energy, electronics, automatic control systems, wireless communications, and practical applications of electricity along with electronic applications. The major is divided into two main sections: the Electrical department, where students study electrical systems for energy transmission and motor control, and the Electronics department, where students learn about electronic systems that include computer sciences and integrated circuits. Electronic engineering is a part of electrical engineering, which involves the study and design of various electrical and electronic systems.
Importance of Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and electronic equipment are fundamental to various fields, making electrical and electronics engineering a critical and central role in modern life and future technological developments. It is foundational to electronic circuits, control systems, biomedical systems, energy systems (production, transmission, and distribution), communications, information transmission, computers, and the internet, which are widely used today.
Electrical and electronics engineering contributes to various disciplines, from medicine to communications, and from computer technology and internet to space research. It also plays a role in designing, developing, and testing electrical systems and equipment by applying the sciences of physics, mathematics, electricity, electromagnetism, and electronics to all systems and developing smart applications like smart homes, smart roads, and smart cities.
