{{Short description|1=Overview of and topical guide to electrical engineering}} {{See also|Index of electrical engineering articles}} {{Electrical engineering sidebar}} <!--... Attention: THIS IS AN OUTLINE part of the set of 830+ outlines listed at [[Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines]]. Wikipedia outlines are a special type of list article. They make up one of Wikipedia's content navigation systems See [[Wikipedia: Outlines]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines]] for more details. Further improvements to this outline are on the way ...--> The following [[Outline (list)|outline]] is provided as an overview of and topical guide to electrical engineering. '''[[Electrical engineering]]''' – field of [[engineering]] that generally deals with the study and application of [[electricity]], [[electronics]] and [[electromagnetism]]. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the [[electric telegraph]] and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including [[power engineering|power]], [[electronics]], [[control systems]], [[signal processing]] and [[telecommunication]]s. {{TOC limit|limit=2}} == Classification == Electrical engineering can be described as all of the following: * Academic discipline – branch of knowledge that is taught and researched at the college or university level. Disciplines are defined (in part), and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong. * Branch of [[engineering]] – discipline, skill, and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. == Branches of electrical engineering == * [[Power engineering]] * [[Control engineering]] * [[Electronic engineering]] * [[Microelectronics]] *
