2. Electrical Engineering Defined  Electrical Engineers use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to construct computers, electronic communication devices, and other electronic devices to improve daily life.  Electrical Engineering became a recognized career path after the discovery of practical applications of electricity such as telephone lines, computer chips, and radars. Most electrical appliances were created or designed by electrical engineers. 2

3. Sub-Disciplines of Electrical Engineering  Power engineering- Transportation, distribution, and utilization of power such as electricity.  Signal Processing- Processing, transmitting, and applying electrical signals across large amount of distance. Includes radio waves and telephone lines.  Computer Engineering- Designing and creating computer parts such as computer chips, as well as computer programing. Involves software and hardware engineering. 3

4. Sub-Disciplines of Electrical Engineering (Cont.)  Telecommunications Engineering- Involves all electrical engineering disciplines, although mostly computer engineering and signal engineering, to improve overall communication systems.  Electronics Engineering- designs electrical circuits and other conductive devices, such as microcontrollers. 4

5. Mechanical Engineering (Similar Discipline)  Mechanical engineers utilize physics and material science to create any form of machinery. Mechanical engineers design and create everything from inkjet printer nozzles to space crafts. They design their products to be cost-efficient and to withstand the forces of nature involved in its system. As such, mechanical engineering is considered to be one of the oldest practices of engineering. 5

6. Things Electrical Engineers Create  Computers  Cell phones  Robots  Radars  Navigational systems  Wiring and Lighting for buildings 6

7. Three Famous Engineers  Alexander Graham Bell  Born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland and died Augusts 2 nd, 1992  Has one formal year of education at a private school and two years at Edinburgh’s Royal High School. Although not the most studious student, he was known for his ability to problem solve.  He is most famous for creating a the first working telephone 7

8. Three Famous Engineers (Cont.)  Nikola Tesla  Nikola Tesla was born July 10, 1856 in Croatia. He died in New York City on January 7,1943.  While Tesla was growing up he learned in Realschule, Karlstadt, a Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria. He also educated at the University of Prague.  Tesla was famous for inventing the “Tesla Coil” which made a huge impact on wireless technology and is still used for radio tech today.  Tesla Coil: Is a form of induction coil for creating high-frequency alternating currents. 8

9. Three Famous Engineers (Cont.)  Guglielmo Marconi  Marconi was born on April 25, 1874 in Bologna, Italy. He died on July 20, 1937, in Rome. Reason: Heart Failure  He was a student at the Livorno Technical Institute. He was also educated at home and had a great interest in science and electricity.  Marconi was most famous for inventing the telegraph. A.K.A: Wireless communication. 9

10. Five Career Paths  The average U.S. salary of an electrical engineer is $93,000 a year  Aerospace industry- involves space crafts, astronauts, and escaping the atmosphere.  Automotive industry- involves the creation and improvement of cars and other motorized vehicles.  Electronics- from IPhone to computers, electronic engineers specialize in commercialized electronics; designing them to be cost efficient and powerful. 10

11. Five Career Paths (Cont.)  Telecoms- Involves improving overall quality of communications across distances using electronics and compression techniques.  Power Generation- Involves the creation, transportation, utilization, and improvement of all three practices in electricity or oil. 11
