Electrical engineering is one of the broadest and largest engineering disciplines. Many electrical engineers work in the areas of design, analysis, and application of electrical/electronic components, circuits, and systems. Others work in areas focused on the analysis, design, and application of information processing systems such as communication systems, medical imaging, and military sensors.
