Electrical Engineering is that branch of Engineering which deals with the study of application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. Trained electrical engineers design electric circuits and equipment. They work on large power plants as well in small hardware companies which includes designing, manufacturing and operating power plants, industrial machinery, electrical motors, computer chips and ignition systems for automobiles, aircrafts, space crafts and all kinds of engines.

Electrical Engineering is spread across a range of specialties such as acoustics, speech, signal processing to electromagnetic compatibility, automobiles to vehicular technology, geo-science and remote sensing, laser and electro-optics, robotics, ultra-sonic, ferroelectrics and frequency control.

A qualified electrical engineer has the option to choose his/her line of work from a range of areas like computers, cell phone, electronic gadgets, radars, navigation systems, power plant, etc. Average starting salary of fresh electrical engineering graduates is Rs 4 lakh and upwards.Candidates can pursue Electrical Engineering at both graduate and postgraduate level. Below mentioned are the eligibility criteria to be fulfilled in order to pursue Electrical Engineering:

Minimum eligibility criteria to pursue Electrical Engineering (BTech) is class 12 pass in PCM/PCMB subjects with at least 50% marks in aggregate from a recognized school or university or equivalent

To pursue Electrical Engineering at post graduate level, the candidate must have a BTech degree in electrical engineering

Most people relate Electrical Engineering with wires and circuits but it is much more than that. Electrical Engineers are needed not only in construction or power industry but also in telecommunication, IT, navigation, railways, automobile, architecture, aerospace, defence, etc. From maintaining power grids to supervising research and development of electronic devices and technology to designing circuits for computers, Electrical Engineers are required in various fields.

This branch of Engineering is basically required broadly in two fields: Power and Telecommunication.

Power Engineers: Power Engineers are involved in generation and transmission of electricity. Their service is sought the most in automobile industry as they are responsible for designing, manufacturing and maintaining engines and maintaining the flow of power from the engine attached to devices. Power Engineers having specialized skills in microelectronics design and manufacture very small power circuits used in computers and other electronic devices. The average starting salary of Power Engineers is Rs 4 lakh and upwards.

Telecommunication Engineers: They mainly work on designing and maintenance of cables. Their service is also sought for production of receivers and transceivers. The average starting salary of Telecommunication Engineer is Rs 4 lakh and upwards. Key roles of an Electrical Engineer are:

Designing, manufacturing and operating power plants, industrial machinery, electrical motors, and ignition systems for automobiles, aircrafts, space crafts and other types of engines

Research and design improved ways for using electrical power

Compute the cost of manufacture, construction and installation of electrical equipment as per specifications

The journal “Electrical Engineering” following the long tradition of Archiv für Elektrotechnik publishes original papers of archival value in electrical engineering with a strong focus on electric power systems, smart grid approaches to power transmission and distribution, power system planning, operation and control, electricity markets, renewable power generation, microgrids, power electronics, electrical machines and drives, electric vehicles, railway electrification systems and electric transportation infrastructures, energy storage in electric power systems and vehicles, high voltage engineering, electromagnetic transients in power networks, lightning protection, electrical safety, electrical insulation systems, apparatus, devices, and components. Manuscripts describing theoretical, computer application and experimental research results are welcomed.
