Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge for engineering applications. Electrical engineers defined the 20th century with technologies that transformed society. They gave us universal electric power, telecommunications, radio, and television. Today, we have access to electronic surveillance, medical imaging, computers, and the internet.
