Electrical & Electronics Technology

Overview

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This field at the outset became an identifiable occupation in the later half of the 19th century after the commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use.

Subsequently, broadcasting and recording media made electronics part of everyday life. The invention of the transistor, and later the integrated circuit, brought down the cost of electronics to such a level that they can be used in almost any household object.

Electrical engineering has now been subdivided into a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics. Many of these subdisciplines overlap and also overlap with other engineering branches, spanning a huge number of specializations such as hardware engineering, power electronics, electro magnetics & waves, microwave engineering, electrochemistry, renewable energies, mechatronics, electrical materials science, and many more.

Electronics engineering, or electronic engineering, is an electrical engineering discipline that utilizes non-linear and active electrical components (such as semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits)in order to design electronic circuits, devices, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other systems. The discipline typically also designs passive electrical components, based on printed circuit boards.

Electronics is a subfield within the wider electrical engineering academic subject but denotes a broad engineering field that covers subfields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer electronics, embedded systems, and power electronics. Electronics engineering deals with the implementation of applications, principles, and algorithms developed within many related fields, for example, solid-state physics, radio engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, systems engineering, computer engineering, instrumentation engineering, electric power control, robotics, and many more. 

Programme Objectives

Electrical and electronic engineering covers a wide range of general principles and concepts.  There is a definite crossover between aeronautical and mechanical engineering.  Doing EEE makes one an all-rounder in engineering.  Special emphasis is placed on providing practical experience that will be useful to students for their future careers. 

The course is made interesting and useful with live demonstrations, practical experience, and training on various topics.  Assessment consists of tests, coursework, laboratories, presentations, and project reports.  The following topics are covered in this program-

• Finding new ways of powering our world from renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro).

• Creation of electronic, and nano/micro–scale devices.

• Power electronics to drive robots, electric vehicles, and industrial machines, and enable efficient and sustainable power flow.

Career Scope

• Job role from beginner to senior level is available as Aerospace Engineer, Broadcast Engineer, Control and Instrumentation Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Electronics Engineer, IT Consultant, Network Engineer, Nuclear Engineer, Systems Analyst, Management Consultant, Multimedia Programmer, Project Manager, Technical Author, Technical Sales Engineer and many more.
