what is electrical engineering? i mean what must i know about electrical engineering.?

Question

do help me!!this is for my scholarship's interview...

Answer 1

electrical engineering is a core or mother stream of engineering,electronics,computers came later,but as electricity is a thing with the progress of the society its demand will go higher and higher,even whenever we r switching on a computer we need electricity.It is a vast subject...so for little brush ups visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_engineering

if u want to go for engineering in electricals u must be prepared with the basics of mathematics and physics..best of luck!!!

Answer 2

electrical engineering(sometimes referred to as electrical and electronic engineering) is a semi-professional and professional engineering discipline that deals with the study and/or application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century with the commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. The field now covers a range of sub-studies including those that deal with power, optoelectronics, digital electronics, analog electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, control systems, electronics, signal processing and telecommunications.

Answer 3

Electrical engineers must study advanced mathematics (calculus, Fourier transforms, vector analysis, etc.) and physics, especially mass and energy. They must know the basics of other engineering fields such as mechanical and chemical engineering to coordinate their efforts with other engineers on large projects. However, they specialize in things electrical such as the generation, distribution and use of electricity in transformer, motors and heating equipment. They must know how to measure and control high voltage electricity as well as small intricate electrical circuity used in TV's, radar and other electronics including computers.

Answer 4

I loved electrical engineering.. but you really need the hands on lessons to enjoy it.. I got to play with fibre optics, satelite dishes, communications equipment and even radioctive elements which we measured.. it was all highly interesting.. also did computer programming in machine language.. and in physics learnt quite a lot about light, electromagnetics and even mastered atomic theory.. which seems obvious once you understand it..

I switched to business and have regrets so I still muck around with electronics.. I strongly recommend it but be prepared to work VERY VERY hard.. you'll have to learn and master all the basics.. there's a lot of mathematics, lots of "constants" like speed of light, and many others.. you'll have to apply yourself as its regarded to be the toughest field of study now. BUT well worth it indeed. You might even have fun in the second year onwards once you can start wiring things up and using test equipment..

Answer 5

It deals with electricity like current, voltage, power etc and its laws. It tells you how and why. The difference with electronics engg. is that elctronic engg. deals with very small current like micro or nano amps.

Answer 6

Wear pink...you'll do fine.
