 Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is the design, study, and manufacture of

various electrical and electronic systems, such as electrical
circuits, generators, motors,
electromagnetic/electromechanical devices, electronic devices,
optical fibers, optoelectronic devices, computer systems,
telecommunications, instrumentation, controls, and electronics.

Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several

fields of electrical engineering and computer science
required to develop computer hardware and software.
