The Meaning of 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 is a 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, power 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. Trained 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 (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.

Arti dari Teknik Elektro

Teknik listrik adalah bidang teknik yang secara umum berhubungan dengan pembelajaran dan penerapan dari listrik, elektronika, dan elektromagnetisme. Bidang ini pertama kali menjadi suatu pekerjaan yang terkenal pada paruh kedua abad ke-19 setelah dipublikasikannya telegraf listrik, telepon, dan distribusi tenaga listrik dan penggunaannya. Selanjutnya, media penyiaran dan rekaman telah membuat peralatan elektronik menjadi bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari.Penemuan transistor, dan sirkuit terpadu, telah menurunkan harga dari peralatan elektronik ke titik dimana mereka dapat digunakan di hampir semua bagian rumah tangga.

Teknik listrik kinitelah dibagi menjadi berbagai subbidang termasuk elektronika, komputer digital, rekayasa listrik, telekomunikasi, sistem kontrol, teknik radio frekuensi, pemrosesan sinyal, instrumentasi, dan mikroelektronika. Subjek teknik elektronika sering dianggap sebagai subbidang sendiri tapi bersimpangan dengan semua subbidang lainnya, termasuk elektronika daya dari rekayasa listrik.

Insinyur listrik biasanya memegang gelar di bidang teknik listrik atau teknik elektronika. Insinyur terlatih mungkin memiliki sertifikasi profesional dan menjadi anggota badan profesional. Badan tersebut meliputi Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) dan Lembaga Teknik dan Teknologi (IET).

Insinyur listrik bekerja disebagian besar wilayah perindustrian dan keterampilan yang diperlukanbervariasi. Kisaran ini berasal dari teori rangkaian dasar untuk keterampilan manajemen yang dibutuhkan dari seorang manajer proyek. Alat dan perlengkapan dari setiap orang insinyur mungkin berbeda - beda dari kebutuhannya , mulai dari voltmeter sederhana untuk akhir analisa atas ke desain yang canggih dan perangkat lunak manufaktur.
