Electrical Engineering (ELEC)
This engineering course includes transmission and generation of electrical power, electrical circuit design, electronics, instrumentation, control systems etc. Electrical engineering may include electronic engineering. Electrical engineers are generally concerned with using electricity to transmit electric power.
There will always be opportunities for electrical engineers as this is an evergreen field.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)is one of the main and significant organizations for electrical & electronics engineers.
It now covers a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, RF engineering, and signal processing.
Electrical Engineering as a Subject
Electrical Engineering is one of the core fields of engineering, so it is always evergreen in terms of Scope and Job Prospects.
Electrical Engineering is the heart of whole engineering discipline and therefore it’s scope will never become lighter even many years from now.
Nowadays, we see Electronics playing an essential role in the implementation and control of Electrical Machines.
The course has now transformed from core electrical Engineering into a Fusion of Electronics and Electrical, it has been renamed as Electronics and Electrical engineering or simply EEE.
What will you learn?
Electricity has become the basic need for survival, worldwide. From household to industrial plants, communication and satellite navigation system, electronic equipment, television, computers, mobile phones, household appliances, etc., all require electricity.
Electrical engineering thus deals with study and application of electrical systems for use in these diverse environments. It equips an electrical engineer with the knowledge of transmission and generation of electrical power, electrical circuit design, electronics, instrumentation, control system, understanding electrical and electronic networks etc.
