 Introduction

Lecture 1

Murat Fahrioglu 2
 Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE)

Study and application of electricity in areas such as

Power
Communications
Electronics
Computers
Control
Signal Processing
Biomedical
and many specialized fields

 Why need a course on EEE?
Real life is full of mechanical/electrical interfaces.

Can you think of a contemporary engineering system that is

fully mechanical or fully electrical?

 Why need a course on EEE?
Real life is full of mechanical/electrical interfaces.

Can you think of a contemporary engineering system that is

fully mechanical or fully electrical?
An interesting system almost never is in todays world

We are surrounded by:

Sensors
Actuators (devices which transform an input signal, mainly an
electrical signal, into motion)
Generators
Motors

Even a seemingly fully electronic system with unmoving parts

has plenty of mechanical/thermal interactions and vice versa:

 Why need a course on EEE?
Very likely that a Mechanical Engineer works on engineering a
system with electrical and/or electronic components
Vice versa for Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Need to have an intuition on parts of the system that deals

with electricity
Principles of electricity
Circuit elements
Basic circuit analysis techniques
Operational Amplifiers
DC vs. AC power
Magnetic Circuits
Principles of Electromechanics
