Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering is a discipline that studies electricity and electrical technology. Students discover the wonders of circuit theory and analysis, amplifiers, semiconductors, and reverse engineering. After graduation, electrical engineers design, develop, test, and fix electrical systems, as well as other electronic devices. Electrical engineering plays a crucial role in innovations in industries such as healthcare, transport, or robotics.

Some of the subfields within Electrical Engineering include Lighting Design, Energy Engineering, Power and Measurement, Smart Electrical Networks and Systems, Electronics, etc.

Courses in Electrical Engineering are interdisciplinary. They focus on principles from Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electromagnetism, Electronics, as well as the fundamental Electrical and Electronic Engineering concepts. You learn how to take systems and devices apart, how they work, and how to fix them. Courses also focus on advancing current gadgets, communication systems, creating better and safer devices, and using new technologies to improve tools used by people daily. You will become familiarized with concepts connected to circuitry, electromagnetism, and semiconductors.

After graduating in Electrical Engineering, you will fully understand the importance of electric power and power generation. You'll also develop technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Electrical Engineering allows you to access lucrative jobs. Here are some of the most popular choices: acoustic consultant, broadcast engineer, CAD technician, electrical engineer, network engineer, system analyst, etc.
