What is electrical and electronic engineering? Electrical and electronic engineers design and build essential devices and equipment that are integral to modern life. These include systems for electricity generation and distribution, electronic automation and control of various processes, as well as the transmission and reception of electromagnetic signals.

In electrical engineering, we apply the fact that electricity can be used to transport and deliver energy. It lights our homes, runs many of our domestic gadgets, and keeps the wheels of industry turning. It is such an established and reliable part of our lives that we too often take it for granted, yet it remains a fascinating and developing field of study. Electrical engineering deals with the study of motors and generators and their control, power transmission and distribution systems, and the principles that underlie them.
