Electrical Engineering Electrical Engineering Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment. Electrical equipment includes power generating and transmission equipment used by electric utilities, and electric motors, machinery controls, and lighting and wiring in buildings, automobiles, and aircraft.
Electronic equipment includes radar, computer hardware, and communications and video equipment.
The primary concern of electrical engineers is hardware, but as more and more systems become computer-based, they are increasingly involved with software techniques.
