  2. Introduction to Engineering What is engineering? What are the areas of ECE?

  3. Introduction to Engineering What is engineering? “The science concerned with putting scientific knowledge to practical uses” (Webster New World Dictionary)

  4. Introduction to Engineering (cont.) What is engineering? "Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind." (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)

  5. Introduction to Engineering (cont.) What is science? “Systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation carried on in order to determine the nature or principles of what is being studied” (Webster New World Dictionary)

  6. Introduction to Engineering (cont.) How can you tell an engineer from a scientist? • A scientist's goal is to learn fundamental truths. • An engineer's goal is to use those truths to solve practical problems. In some areas of theoretical engineering, the distinction is very fuzzy.

  7. Introduction to Engineering (cont.) What is an engineer? A person skilled or occupied in some branches of engineering [Rare] a person who makes or operates engines. (Webster New World Dictionary)

  8. Introduction to Engineering (cont.) Where does the word “engineer” come from? From the Latin word “ingenium” meaning something like “ingenuity” (Webster New World Dictionary)

  9. Introduction to Engineering (cont.) What is electricalengineering? Engineering connected with the science or use of electricity. (Webster New World Dictionary)

  10. Areas of ECE Description of disciplines within ECE, taken from the Sloan Career Cornerstone Center http://careercornerstone.org/eleceng/elecengprep.htm

  11. Electromagnetics Electromagnetics deals with the transfer of energy by radiation, such as light waves, and radio waves, and the interaction of such radiation with matter. Engineers apply electromagnetics in optical-fiber communications, radio broadcasting, wireless communications, coaxial cable systems, radar, antennas, sensors, and microwave generators and detectors, for example. Engineering researchers are examining the potential of electromagnetics in advanced computation and switching systems. Electromagnetics is one of the most analytical fields of electrical engineering in that it relies heavily on mathematics to express physical effects such as the complex relationships among electric and magnetic intensities and flux densities and material properties in space and time.

  15. Electronics Electronics is a cornerstone of technology, supporting virtually all areas of science, engineering, and medicine with products ranging from sensitive instruments to machine controls to diagnostic equipment. Electronics deals with the release, transport, control, collection, and energy conversion of subatomic particles (such as electrons) having mass and charge. The field is a fast-changing one, as new technology supplants old in rapid succession. Electronics engineering deals with devices, equipment, and systems whose functions depend on such particles. Electronic engineers design, develop, and manufacture, for example -- computers; integrated circuits; sensors and transducers; audio, video, broadcasting, and telecommunications equipment; process control systems; navigation, guidance, and detection systems; prosthetic devices; and pollution monitoring instruments.

Electrical engineers design and develop automatic control systems to guide aircraft and spacecraft. They apply control technology to automatically adjust processes and machinery in manufacturing such diverse products as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and integrated circuits. For the healthcare industry, electrical engineers design controls for medical assistance devices such as medication-injection machines and respirators.
