Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems that use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It covers everything from power generation to microelectronics.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Electrical engineering is a discipline focused on the design, development, and application of electrical systems, electronic circuits, and electromagnetic phenomena, encompassing power generation, transmission, control systems, telecommunications, and microelectronics, critical for automation and smart manufacturing.
BACKGROUND
Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation. It is the essence of the secondary sector of the economy. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high-tech, but it is most commonly applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products, or distributed via the tertiary sector to end users and consumers.
