Electrical Engineering

Overview

Electrical Engineering is a branch of engineering that exploits properties of electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism to create useful products. It is a broad field that touches on power distribution, electronics, telecommunications, automatic control, and other areas. In this class we learn about a few of these areas to help students understand what electrical engineering is all about.

This year we will cover basic electronics, magnetism, microelectronics, and computer control.
