The Sub Categories In Electrical Engineering

If you've lately been looking for Electrical Engineering Jobs, Mechanical Engineering Jobs or Civil Engineering Jobs you must have come across many of the employers asking a specific type in each category. In this connection here's an overview of the sub categories falling under electrical engineering.

· Signal Processing. An electrical engineer specializing in signal processing analyzes any digital or analog signal. She might develop voice-recognition software or design the display for a new digital camera.

· Mechatronics. It combines mechanical and electrical engineering with computer programming and software design, and is responsible for the creating of complex systems. Mechatronics experts built the Mars rovers; they also designed the anti-lock brakes on your car.

· Instrumentation Engineering. An electrical engineer who works on measuring devices like thermometers, flow meters, and scales is an instrumentation engineer. These tools are often a single component in a greater system, so instrumentation engineers must be well-versed in a variety of engineering disciplines.

· Telecommunications. All communications signals must go from one place to another, no matter what the medium. And whether those signals are going through fiber-optic cables, satellites or cellular towers, a telecommunications engineer is charged with the maintenance of those media.

· Microelectronics. Electrical engineers working in this field develop, maintenance and manufacture of capacitors, diodes, resistors, transistors and other small components. Microelectronics engineers must be schooled in semiconductor technology, as well as materials science and chemistry.
