INTRODUCTION
TO ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING

What is Electrical Engineering?

Why do we need it?

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Definition

Electrical engineering is a field of

engineering that generally deals with the
study and application of electricity,
electronics and electromagnetism

WHAT IF THERE IS NO
ELECTRICITY ANYMORE

Mass Communication

Phone or Internet
Connectivity

VERY
HARD
TO
LIVE
IN

PROBLEM SOLVING
EE also develops problemsolving and thinking skills
to solve complex problems
using reasoning and thought,
not just by plugging into
formulas

WHY TAKE ELECTRICAL

ENGINEERING?
Like computer literacy, electrical literacy is
very important to engineering and everyday
life
So many things are powered or
controlled by electricity
It is used to communicate by
video, wireless, phone or data
So many physical phenomena are
measured using transducers (devices that
convert between a physical phenomena and an
electrical voltage, current or resistance that is
easily measured and recorded for analysis)
