What Is Electrical Engineering?

Electrical engineering encompasses a broad range of subdisciplines included electronics, RF, controls, signal processing, instrumentation, power, and much more. This video covers a quick overview of those fields and then goes into the electrical engineering undergrad curriculum you can expect. Note that all schools are a little different so don't take this as a guarantee, but hopefully this gives a good overview of what to expect.

Hey everyone, yes I have done many videos on EE but the one's on "why is EE a difficult major" have seemed to scare some people in terms of the major which is never the intention of these videos. Tried a different delivery with this one to replace those, hope this gives a good overview of just what to expect. For those just coming across the channel there are many more videos on EE as I mention at this end of this video that you can find in the description. Hope you enjoy!

This is the kind of information that a typical high school kid would need when they inevitably ask the question. 'Why are we studying this stuff'? If a teacher can then go into to this and answer questions while doing it. That is a real teacher. Most teachers actually don't know the answer.

i watched this video back in 2020 before starting my first electrical engineering year, one year from now i will be getting my diploma in electrical engineering, specifically in telecommunication engineering and everything said in this video is so true thank you Zach for guiding me through my journey and goodluck for all electrical engineers enthusiasts out there!

I am an electrical engineer. Graduated this year with a First Class Honors from University of Nairobi. It's the best choice one could ever make. Trust me.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm back in college at 32. Looking to get an EE degree. I'm on my third semester. I have 10 years experience in graphic design. My focus is alternative energy and EV. I also bought an Arduino to practice building circuit and to do project.

As an electrical engineering student myself, your videos are extremely helpful and honestly invaluable. This is the stuff that no one tells you but is so important. These videos have really helped me narrow my focus and prepare for the future. My roommate said after watching a video, "man I really wish I knew this when I was starting out". Thank you!

Great video! I'm an EE major I can confidently say this is a well-described summary. I would suggest a video comparing Electrical and Computer Engineering, and maybe benefits for those doing both as dual.

Having studied electrical engineering 25 years ago in Germany, it's good to see that this field is very stable even across countries. I had about 90% of the same classes.

general people really confuse engineers with technician

The most thing in my life I'm proud of is that I'm an ELECTRICAL ENGINEER!! <3

[superkrystal]

Thanks for this video man! Im a 2nd year engineering and I love that EE is so broad and with one degree you can do anything and work anywhere!

Studying may suck at times but in between our dreams and success, there's surely a lot of midnight studying and coffee breaks that's going to happen.

Most of the people reading this are probably waiting for an exam to happen as well. This pandemic surely has caused others to loose their motivation. Some have lost that exam vibe and it's quite difficult to bring back our old self — the one who was always motivated to study every day.

You won't always be motivated but you can be determined to keep going no matter how hard it gets. Hard work will never disappoint you because every second of it is going to pay off.

One day, we will all be taking that exam that we have been preparing for. For now, let us focus on our goals. Keep studying and be consistent.

That license is waiting for you! ❤️

I am a highschool student who is struggling with choosing a major. Electrical Engineering was an option I had in my head. This is has been of so much help, I can't even begin to put it in words. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS!

Great video, some things that need to be discussed is how hard some of these classes are. If people can get passed calc 1-4 and phys 1-3. You still have fields 1 and 2, which is wild and signals and systems good luck.. Just focus and ccncentrate on studying and no negative energy, you guys got this.

[davidchoy]

You are my motivation to choose electrical engineering !!Awesome!

I'm a fourth-year undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering student and I really wished I had this video when I started at my University or when applying for majors at my college. This video is honestly a really great overview of what was to come. Having done all these courses already, I can see the bigger picture now. But at the time of starting out, I often questioned why I was taking these courses, other than we had to. Your video is still really helpful, even now, since job interviews are coming up and I've forgotten some of the material that I am supposed to know.

This sounds hard asf. Yall is insane for doin this.

[kchannel]

Brilliant video, I'm switching from math to electrical engineering, due to the fact that I need a job when I finally get out of school

[MrE_]

Bro. I watched this video years ago to see wtf I was even getting myself into. I'm glad I watched this and some of your other videos going into more depth. It helped me choose what I was interested in. I'm now an EE and this video popped back up in my feed. Just came back to say thanks for the info

[BangMaster]

Wish you were around when i was in High school and contemplating what field i should major in. Your videos break down all the STEM majors for a beginner, and gives them an overview of what to expect. I would have chosen EE as my major and not Computer Science had i known the overview of both.
