Hi, I noticed that there are many subdivisions under EE. I was wondering whether I could get some information on each discipline like what there are applications are and there need in industry.
Thank you
Thank you
homeomorphic said:Most physics heavy, maybe electromagnetics, but it's specifically electromagnetism. Also, some aspects of electronics, but not every electronics engineer is going to know that side of it.
jasonRF said:Some other physics-heavy subdisciplines include solid state physics/devices (I know folks that design new high-speed transistors, etc.) and photonics (was called opto-electronics in my day).
Fluxy said:Thanks for all your replies! Are the job prospects for each subdisciplines the same?
The main subdisciplines of electrical engineering include power engineering, electronics engineering, telecommunications engineering, control engineering, and computer engineering.
Power engineering deals with the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power. This includes designing and maintaining power systems, such as power plants, power grids, and renewable energy sources.
Electronics engineering focuses on the design, development, and testing of electronic circuits and devices. This includes everything from microchips and computers to communication systems and medical equipment.
Telecommunications engineering involves designing and maintaining communication systems, such as telephones, radio, and television. This also includes developing new technologies for wireless communication and internet connectivity.
Control engineering is the study of control systems, which are used to regulate and automate processes in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and aerospace. This includes designing and implementing control systems using sensors, actuators, and computer algorithms.
