What is Electrical Engineering?<\/h1>\n

Electrical engineering is a branch of engineering, and dates back to the late 19 th century. Since\u00a0its early beginnings, the field of electrical engineering has significantly changed the human life\u00a0by creating many new technologies ranging from developing electricity generation and\u00a0transmission, new communication technologies such as internet and cellular communications\u00a0to developing new devices such as computers, smart phones, smart appliances or new medical\u00a0technologies from huge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices to small health monitoring\u00a0sensors. Electrical engineering covers a broad range of areas such as electronic design,\u00a0communications, control and robotics, remote sensing, signal processing, digital circuits, instrumentation, audio, video, optoelectronics, power electronics, motors, batteries, renewable\u00a0energy, and power systems. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices\u00a0and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power plants.\u00a0Some of the pioneers in electrical engineering are Thomas Edison (electric light bulb), Nikola\u00a0Tesla (induction motor), Guglielmo Marconi (radio), Jack Kilby (integrated circuit), Philo T.\u00a0Farnsworth (television), Martin Cooper (inventor of cell phone), and Claude Shannon (father of\u00a0Information theory).<\/p>\n

The Electrical Engineering research groups at NAU studies cutting-edge wireless\u00a0communications and networking, embedded systems, and wireless sensor\/actuator networks,\u00a0autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles, remote health monitoring, cybersecurity, cyber-\u00a0physical systems, safe autonomous systems, wearable computing, therapeutic robotics, brain-\u00a0computer interfaces, mixed-signal microelectronics, wind and photovoltaic energy, smart\u00a0energy systems, high power converters, motors and controllers, electric vehicles, and model\u00a0predictive control.<\/p>\n
