Study Notes

Electrical Engineering Overview

Electrical engineers design systems with two main objectives: gathering, storing, processing, transporting, and presenting information; and distributing, storing, and converting energy.
Information and energy manipulation are often intertwined in electrical systems. For instance, weather prediction utilizes data on cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed, gathered by satellites and land-based sensors. This data is processed by computers to create weather forecasts.
Electrical energy is converted in power plants from various sources (e.g., chemical, thermal) to usable forms like mechanical energy, heat, and light.
Electrical distribution systems carry energy to homes, businesses, and industries.
Mechatronics is a field that integrates electrical and mechanical systems, as seen in automobiles and appliances.

Subdivisions of Electrical Engineering

Communication Systems: Transmit information electrically. Examples include cellular phones, radio, satellite TV, and the internet. Communication systems enable nearly instantaneous global communication. Applications influence highway design, traffic control and emergency response systems.
Computer Systems: Process and store information digitally. They are found in household appliances, automobiles, and various other devices.
Control Systems: Gather information with sensors and use electrical energy to control physical processes. Examples include heating/cooling systems and rolling sheet steel production. Controlling flow rates and temperatures are critical in the automation of industrial applications.
Electromagnetics: Study and application of electrical and magnetic fields. Examples include microwave ovens, and materials processing.
Electronics: The study and application of materials, devices, and circuits used to amplify and switch electrical signals. Electronic circuits are essential in various devices (e.g., cardiac pacemakers).
Photonics: Manipulating light for computing, signal processing, sensing, and communication. This field uses light generation (lasers, LEDs) for improved signal transmission, amplification, and switching in various devices.
Power Systems: Convert and transmit energy over large distances. These systems involve generators, transformers, and distribution lines for electricity transfer across vast networks.
Signal Processing: Deals with information-bearing electrical signals. Applications include machine vision (for robots) and controlling ignition timing in internal combustion engines to maximize performance and reduce pollution.
