Electrical Engineering

The precise meaning of the term electrical engineering is not universally agreed upon. In some parts of the world, it is considered to be the most general of the electricity-related engineering disciplines, with electronics engineering being a subfield. In other areas, electronics engineering is considered to be at the same level as electrical engineering, requiring that more generalised programs be called electrical and electronics engineering. Both terms define a broad field that encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering, telecommunications, and semiconductor circuit design amongst many others. Electrical engineering is considered distinct from electronics engineering especially in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe where the strict definition of electrical engineering (whose practitioners are called electrical engineers), is: an engineering discipline that deals with the study and application of electricity and...
