About Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is the application of the laws of physics governing electricity, magnetism, and light to develop products and services for the benefit of humankind.
It is a professional discipline that deals with the application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. This branch offers exciting job opportunities for students in the rapidly evolving fields of information and communication technology and the latest advances in the more traditional areas of power, control, and electromagnetism. So electrical engineering deals with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control.
Electrical engineers will be responsible for designing, developing and maintaining electrical control systems, machinery and equipment and play pivotal role in a wide range of fields such as Power generation, transmission and distribution, Building services, Renewable energy sources, Transport networks, Manufacturing and construction etc.
