ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

It is commonly known as Electrical & Electronics engineering. Electrical engineering has as much relevance as electricity has in our life. So it is considered as one of the major and basic branches in engineering field. We can’t even think of an earth with out electricity.

At first this branch dealt with electricity, electronics and electromagnetism, now power electronics, power systems, digital signal processing, control systems are all handled by an electrical engineer. The major advancement in this field was emerged by late 19th centaury. By 17th centaury the work on electricity got started. It includes the famous works done by George Ohm on the relationship between current and potential difference, Michael Faraday’s Electromagnetic induction, James Clerk Maxwell’s theory on electricity and electromagnetism. These all made the advancement of an electric era so fast.

Major and noticeable inventions in this field are Cathode Ray Oscilloscope by Karl Ferdinand Baum, Diode by John Fleming, Triode by Robert Von Lieben and Lee Deforest, Albert Hull’s Magnetron which eventually lead to the development of Microwave oven by Percy Spencer. These inventions made our life as wonderful as we wish. We know how well these all take parts in our life.

In the field of education, an electrical engineer covers Maths, Physics, computer science, specific topics in electrical engineering. They should have detailed knowledge in Electrical machines, signal processing, power systems, power electronics, and control systems

An electrical engineer has to work in the development of wide range of technologies. They use to design, test and supervise all electric systems. They are destined to work in electric power stations, telecommunication systems, and satellite communications, in the fields of power generation, transmission and distribution. It includes work on transformers, motors, alternators, generators etc.

Electrical engineer has a key role in the field of space flight. Control system is a major topic in electrical engineering; this plays an exceptionally strong role in space flight. Electronics is the sub discipline of electrical branch. It involves the testing of electric circuits, properties of resistors, capacitors, diodes etc. It deals with the study of radar, commercial circuits, microprocessors and its applications on different fields.

Digital signal processing is an unavoidable section in electrical engineering. It deals with the analysis and manipulation of signals. Another markable feature is in the field of computer technology. This involves the designing of computer and computer systems.
In short, in every walk of our life we can feel the importance of electricity and hence electrical engineering.
