Electrical Engineering

1. Power Engineering
Power engineering deals with the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity as well as the design of a range of related devices

Devices: transformer, electric generator, electric motors, high voltage engineering, and power electronics.

2. Control Engineering
Control engineering focuses on the modelling of a diverse range of dynamic systems and the design of controllers that will cause these systems to behave in the desired manner.

Device: electrical circuit, digital signal processors, microcontroller, and PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers)

3. Electronics Engineering
Electronics Engineering involves the design and testing of electronic circuits that use property of components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors to achieve particular functionality.

Example of electronic circuit: tuned circuit, circuit that allow a user to tune to a radio station.

4. Microelectronics Engineering
Microelectronics engineering deals with the design and microfabrication of very small electronic components and circuit for use in an integrated circuit (IC) or sometimes for use on their own as a general electronic component.

5. Signal processing
Signal process deals with the analysis and manipulation of signals (digital and analog signal).

6. Telecommunication
Focuses on the transmission of information across a channel such as coax cable, optical fiber or free space.

7. Instrumentation
Instrumentation engineering deals with the design of devices to measure physical quantities.
That physical quantities are: pressure, flow, and temperature. The design of such instrumentation often requires a good understanding of physics that often extends beyond electromagnetic theory.

8. Computer engineering 
Deals with the design of computers and computer systems (systems that contain more than one computers).

9. Mechantronics
Mechantronics is an engineering dicipline which deals with the convergence of electrical and mechanics system.

10. Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering concerned with the design of medical equipment. This includes fixed equipments such as ventilators, MRI scanners and electrocardiograph monitors, as well as mobile equipment (cochlear implants, artificial pacemakers and artificial hearts).
