This page is under construction. More information will be added. I prepared this on September 14, 1987. Electrical Engineering is an extremely exciting field of endeavor. Electrical engineers work with signal frequencies from zero to beyond the optical range, and they use tools such as computers, advanced mathematics, and wire cutters.
Electrical engineers are thinkers and doers.
Strictly speaking, Electrical Engineering is not just a single field, but a collection of many fields fused into one unified discipline. It is by far the most dynamic and most varied of all fields in engineering. I think the best way to find out what Electrical Engineering is is to see what electrical engineers do and form your own definition. My opinion has always been that electrical engineers can do everything. In the following paragraphs I'll try to list some of the major fields in electrical engineering from my point of view.
