What do students actually study in electrical and electronic engineering?
Electrical and electronic engineering commonly covers mathematics and physics as foundations, followed by subjects such as circuits, electromagnetism, electronic devices, signals and communications, electric power, measurement, control, computers, and embedded systems. Through laboratory work, exercises, and programming, students also learn to design circuits or systems, measure and analyze their behavior, and solve technical problems.
Key points
- Use mathematics and physics to understand circuits and electromagnetic phenomena.
- Study a broad range of areas, including electronics, communications, power, control, and embedded systems.
- Laboratory work, design, programming, measurement, and analysis are commonly part of the course.
Things to check
- The balance of topics and the amount or type of laboratory work and programming vary by university, department, course, and year, so the specific curriculum should be checked in official information.
