ELECTRICAL
The study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It powers our cities, drives our computation, and connects our world.
The Flow of Charge
At its core, electrical engineering manipulates the flow of electrons to do work. Whether it's gigawatts on a grid or nanowatts in a processor, the fundamental laws—Maxwell's Equations and Ohm's Law—remain the same.
