Electrical engineering appeared in the 19th century with the invention of the electric motor in (1) __________ . The work of James Maxwell and Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century gave rise to the field of (2)__________. The later inventions of the vacuum tube and the transistor further accelerated the development of Electronics to such an extent that electrical and electronics engineers currently outnumber their colleagues of any other Engineering specialty.
The modern Electrical (3) __________ covers a range of subtopics. The most popular sub-disciplines are:
- (4) __________ Engineering (deals with the generation, transmission, distribution of electricity),
- (5) __________ Engineering (focuses on the modeling of a diverse range of dynamic systems and the design of controllers),
- (6) __________ Engineering (involves the design and testing of electronic circuits),
- (7) __________ (deals with the design of small electronic circuit components),
- (8) __________ Engineering (deals with the analysis and manipulation of signals),
- Telecommunications (focuses on the transmission of information across a channel),
- Instrumentation Engineering (deals with the design of devices and tools),
-etc.
Usually electrical (9) __________ focus on one of these sub-disciplines, but sometimes they deal with a combination of them.
