Communication is about telling stories and sending messages .
That is when the expertise of a communications engineer is very helpful. These days, communications has a lot to do with electronics, and so communications engineering is a sub-discipline of electrical engineering. Think about the electronic communication technologies you use every day - telephones, televisions, VCRs, radios, Walkmans, computers a communications engineer helps to develop all of them. That same type of engineer designs satellites, phone lines, switches, and all other types of technologies and processes which make communication possible. You might think it's easy to pick up the phone and call your friend down the street or your aunt in another community, the whole process is designed by communications engineers to seem that way to you, but it's actually very complex.
