Electrical and Electroincs Engineering

Summary

Electrical engineering works with the concepts of electro-magnetism, electronics, telecommunications, electronics, control systems, power, and signal processing. Electrical engineers use mathematical concepts and electrical physics, electronics, and electromagnetism to create new machines and electrical systems, problem solving and testing equipment.

Electrical engineers began working on various projects, such as the design of power stations, appliances, telecom systems, and satellite communications systems. Electrical engineering dates back to the 19th century, and is one of the most basic forms of engineering.

Electronic engineering was born when the tube of thermionic valve diode vacuum was invented by John Ambrose Fleming in 1904. This invention was the basis of all electronics until the middle of the 20th century such as television, radio, and radar. A few of the most prominent electrical engineers include Nikola Tesla (motor induction motor), Thomas Edison (electric lamp), Guglielmo Marconi (radio), George Westinghouse (currently changing), and Philo T. Farnsworth (television). They are transforming new ideas into functional systems and devices that are changing the way we live today.

Electrical engineers are developing a wide range of materials, such as cards, cell phones, radars, navigation systems, computers, cables and lighting in buildings, robots, and other electrical systems. More and more electrical engineers are relying on computer-assisted construction programs to create designs and layout circuits. They also use computers to simulate how various electrical systems work.

Electrical engineers work in a variety of industries around the industry and the skills they need on a daily basis also vary. They range from a basic regional concept to a project manager. The equipment that an electrical engineer may need also varies, and ranges from voltmeter to analyzer to advanced design and production software.

The duties of an electrical engineer may require:
Inspect electrical systems, products, components, and applications
Designing and implementing research programs
Lying Using information about electricity and building materials
Ensuring system capacity and components by designing testing methods and facilities
Making electronic products by studying the needs of customers
Research and evaluate production and integration methods and building materials
Improving production processes by designing and modifying equipment
Ensuring product quality by designing electronic testing methods

Assessing finished products and system power Aring Preparing product reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data and trends Provide information by answering questions and requests  Maintaining the company's product and product by complying with government and federal regulations Maintaining product data by writing computer programs and entering data  There are many sub-sectors in electrical engineering. Some electrical engineers specialize in a single subject, while others focus on a combination of sub-fields.

The most popular topics are:

Engine Electronic engineer
Electronic engineers study, design, build and test electrical systems and equipment in such areas as telecommunications, acoustics, aerospace control, and propulsion control, or tools and controls. This job is very similar to an electrical engineer - both jobs are used differently in the United States. The biggest difference is technology. While electrical engineers take care of all electrical systems, electronic engineers enter small parts, such as individual computers, electrical circuits, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors and diodes and apply their knowledge of electronic structures and building materials.
Engine Engineer for Microelectronics Microelectronics is less electronic and is subject to subject and microfabric

Power Engineer
An energy engineer, also called a power system engineer, operates in the area of electrical engineering that includes the production, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy, and the electrical equipment associated with these systems (such as transformers, generators, motors and electric power). While most power engineers focus on three-phase AC power issues, another area of focus is the transition between AC and DC power and the emergence of specific power systems such as those used in aircraft or power networks. Power engineers draw the majority of their vision base from electrical engineering.

Control Engineer
Management engineering, or control system engineering, is often taught as well as electrical engineering in many universities, and focuses mainly on the use of control systems acquired by modeling a wide range of systems. This type of engineering instruction uses automatic control to design controls that enable systems to behave in a certain way, using small controls, programmable logic, digital signal processors and electrical circuits. By using sensors and sensors to measure the effectiveness of a controlled process release and to provide a corrective response, the desired performance can be achieved.

Telecommunications Engineer
Telecommunication engineering focused on electrical and computer engineering that seeks to assist and improve telecommunications systems. The work of the telecommunications engineer will range from performing basic circuit configurations, providing high-speed data transmission services, and overseeing the installation of telecommunications equipment (such as switching systems, optical fiber cabling, IP networks, and microwave transmission systems). They use a variety of transport equipment and media to design network infrastructure (such as twisted pins, coaxial cables, and optical cables) and provide solutions for wireless communication and transmission services, such as wireless telephone, radio and satellite communications and broadband technology.

Metal Engineer
Metal engineering derives its roots from electrical and electronic engineering and discusses the design of devices for measuring pressure, movement and temperature. In short, the field deals with measurement, automation and control processes that involve a deep understanding of physics. Metal engineers are developing new and smart sensors, smart transducers, MEMS Technology, and Blue tooth Technology. One can find instrumental engineers to work in almost all the processes and production industries involved in steel, oil, fuel, energy and defense production.

Computer Engineer
Most universities offer computer engineering as a degree, undergraduate training in electrical engineering, or offer two degrees in electrical and computer engineering. design, computer engineers research, develop, and test computer systems and materials such as computers, computer circuit boards, memory devices, networks, and routers, microchips, and other technologies. They work in areas such as digital programs, operating systems, computer networks, etc. Computer engineering seeks to match digital devices and software to meet the scientific, technological, and administrative needs of business and industry.

They are very close, and they are built on the same basic topics Electrical engineers should study semiconductor devices and circuits, electrical and energy conversion systems, and electric and wave fields. Computer engineers need to do microprocessor interfacing, digital system design, learning software programs and software engineering.

To Where does it work?

Electrical engineers can work in a variety of industries: Defense, Technology, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Marine, Chemicals, Materials and Metals, Construction, Power Production, Oil and Gas, Trains, Chemicals, Telecoms, Aerospace, and Utilities. Electrical engineers can also work for nonprofits, companies, or government agencies. They can also be administrators, professors, patent attorneys, or the financial sector.

Can an electrical engineer be a good plan?

Electrical engineers need to make plans as part of their studies. You usually have the option to avoid everything but the lessons to present if you don't like them. However, many aspirants also decided to double in electrical and computer engineering. If the system is literally followed, an electrical engineer with his or her computer hardware background, has a clear understanding of what a computer can actually do.
