Electrical Engineering 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. Subsequently, broadcasting and recording media made electronics as a part of our 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, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing and instrumentation. 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.
