Profession of Electrical Engineering

The modern world has affected tremendously from the inventions in the field of electronics that have changed and continue to change our lifestyle. Today, our lives are directly affected by electricity without which we cannot perform most of our day-to-day tasks. The advancement in the field of electrical engineering has definitely created wonderful opportunities for professionals linked to this field. Geniuses like Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison made lives easier when they gifted mankind fantastic inventions. Similarly today's electrical engineers are also striving to give this world more advanced tools to make the life easier than ever before.

The basic job of an electrical engineer is to design systems that provide electrical power, such as the power distribution scheme in any infrastructure

All the major engineering universities of Pakistan namely, NED University of engineering and Technology, National University of Science and Technology (NUST), University of Engineering Science and Technology, Sialkot, offer degree program in electrical engineering. Since today's world would be impossible to run without electricity, career and Job prospect for electrical engineers is very bright in Pakistan and abroad.

Electrical engineering is the knowledge of generation, transmission, distribution, utilization and control of electricity. Electric power is normally changed into mechanical power, heat, sound, light or chemical power by some motor, electric magnet, Furness, loudspeaker, lamp or electrolytic. Electrical engineering has performed an important rule in the advancement of science and technology today due to the characteristic of being changing of electric power into mechanical power.

Electrical engineering begins with the activity of generating electric power through generators. Electricity is generated by the generators which work through oil, gas or atomic energy, or construct dam on rivers. Then this electricity is supplied to cities, towns and villages for domestic and industrial consumption. Different equipments and instruments are fixed for such purpose of distribution and transmission. Generation of electric power in the electric station, transmission to cities, distribution of electricity among domestic and industrial consumers, fitting of electrical equipment, are all such activities which are performed under the supervision of engineers.

The youths having practical approach and creative abilities can be more successful in the field of engineering. They are necessary to be logical minded and have the ability to pre plain their task. An engineer also has to work as an administrator therefore he should have the ability to make use of others. Doing a work in a disciplined manner and arrange the record carefully are some additional persona of an engineer.
