A Fair Introduction to Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) is a brilliant combination of Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering that are brought together for offering an excellent career path for the aspiring engineers.

Our day-to-day lives have become more and more dependent on electrical and electronic devices like refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, TV etc.

Due to the rising demand of these devices, the scope of EEE engineers is increasing like never before. Let us first know the difference between the two streams:

What is Electrical Engineering?

This stream of engineering mainly deals with the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and implementing its concepts into practical devices like motors, batteries, control systems, power electronics etc.

Major functions of electrical engineers include:

• Manufacturing and Installation of Electrical Goods after thorough calculations.
• Testing of electrical equipments to ensure that they meet the required standards
• Understanding consumer complaints , evaluating issues and come up with better solutions

What is Electronics Engineering?

This stream of engineering is the study of electronic devices, circuits, equipment, and systems which are majorly used in Analogue Electronics, Digital Electronics, Power Electronics, Embedded Systems and Communication Systems.

The primary functions of an electronics engineer include:

• Building software’s, electronic components and products for various commercial, industrial and residential uses.
• Inspecting electronic goods to ensure their safety standards using various testing methodologies. 
• Enhancing technical performances of electronic devices with required modifications.

Why does Electrical and Electronics Engineering come together as a single stream?

It has become increasingly clear that the mechanism of almost all modern appliances involves the combination of electrical and electronic concepts.

So in order to study the circuiting of the appliances as a whole, it is necessary to study this integrated course for better understanding.

The best engineering colleges in Kerala offer this integrated branch of engineering qualifying students for high profile engineering jobs.
