Electrical Engineering
Abstract:
Engineering the profession is the first assignment of IE 201.The
objective of this assignment is to achieve knowledge about our field
of engineering. Also, toachieve awareness about other fields of
engineering. Through this assignment we can get lots of information
about different departments of engineering faculty. In this assignment
we searched a lot about our favorite department which helped us to
know more information about our profession. In this assignment firstly
I talked about general engineering,and then I discussed deeply
Electrical Engineering. In addition to that I mentioned my technical
and social skills, job opportunities, salary, market and future growth
of electrical engineering in KSA. According to my interest, technical
and social skills that I have I want to study Electrical and
Communication Engineering.
Introduction:
1.Engineering and its Departments:
Engineering is knowledge of problem solving and making all the
different devices in the world. Engineering is the application
of mathematics, empirical, evidence and scientific, economic, social,
and
practical
knowledge in
order
to invent, design,
build,
maintain, research,
and
improve
structures,
machines, tools, systems, components, materials, and processes.
The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD,
the predecessor of ABET) has defined "engineering" as: The creative
application of scientific principles to design or develop structures,
machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing
them singly or in combination; or1to construct or operate the same
2.Electrical Engineering:
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals
with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and
electromagnetism. This field first became an identifiable occupation in
the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the
electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and
use.
Subsequently, broadcasting and recording
media made
electronics part of daily life. The invention of the transistor, and later
the integrated circuit, brought down the cost of electronics to the
point they can be used in almost any household object.
Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of
subfields
including electronics, digital
computers, engineering,
telecommunications, control
systems, radio-frequency
engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics.
The subject of electronic engineering is often treated as its own
subfield but it intersects with all the other subfields, including
the power electronics of power engineering.
Electrical engineers typically hold a degree in electrical engineering or
electronic engineering. Practicing engineers may have professional
certification and be members of a professional body. Such bodies
include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the Institution of Engineering
and Technology (professional
society) (IET).
Electrical engineers work in a very wide range of industries and the
skills required are likewise variable. These range from basic circuit
theory to the management skills required of a project manager. The
tools and equipment that an individual engineer may need are
similarly variable, ranging from a simple voltmeter to a top end
analyzer to sophisticated design and manufacturing software[2].

11. Conclusion:
Finally, after finishing this assignment I learned a lot about
engineering. Especially about electrical, chemical, civil and
mechanical engineering. I got much information about electrical
engineering that I wasnt knowing before. I understood what electrical
engineer do and in which fields they work. Also, I got information
about different fields of electrical engineering, salary, project
duration, professional society, job market and so many other things.
Before the assignment I had some confusing between the civil and
electrical engineering, but after I finished this assignment now I can
easily choose electrical engineering.
All in all, I found this assignment very useful and essential for
all students in university. I recommend this assignment to all students
of university to choose a department that are fair for them.
After lots of soirees, thirsts and hungers I finished this assignment
by help of almighty Allah. For this assignment I used trusted
sources such as internet to access for accurate information. I faced
some problems during searching information about KSA, but after lots
of searching I got all the information.
According to my interest, technical and social skills that I have I want
to study Electrical and Communication Engineering.
