  1. What is Electrical Engineering? • Electrical Engineering covers all things electrical (and related areas), with emphasis on devices, systems and energy/power. • Five major specialties of electrical engineering are: 1. Electronics 2. (Analog and Digital) Systems 3. Communications 4. Control 5. Power

  2. Electrical engineers are responsible for the design and development of control systems (automobiles, robots, etc.), electronics, electrical energy development and transmission(fuel cells, etc.) and communications (telephone networks, intelligent appliances, satellite transmissions, etc.) Scooter, ATRV-Jr Electrical Engineers

  3. Electrical Engineering at Vanderbilt • Electrical Engineering at VUSE is broken into: - Circuits - Solid State/Microelectronic Devices - Systems and Communications - Robotics and Control - Signal and Image Processing - Nanotechnology (most recent)

  4. Mathematical Knowledge and Software Tools used in Electrical Engineering • Math - Linear Algebra - Statistics - Differential Equations and Laplace Transform - Difference Equation and Z-Transform • Software Tools - Matlab (ES140) - Mathematica (EE112) - LabVIEW (EE213)

  5. Matlab • MATLAB is a high-level language for technical computing with interactive graphical environments that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C or Fortran.

  6. Mathematica • Mathematicais a fully integrated software environment for technical and scientific computing. Mathematica combines numerical and symbolic computation. You will receive a free copy of Mathematica when you enroll in EECE 112. Left: 2-D plot. Right: 3-D plot of

  7. LabVIEW • NI (National Instruments) LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment for measurement and control. It is a developmental tool used in EE labs such as EECE 213 (Circuits), 235 (Electronics) and 258 (Control).
