B.E. or B.Tech. (Electrical Engineering) is an undergraduate Electrical Engineering course. Electrical engineering is a main core branch of engineering and a professional engineering discipline that has a strong demand in the industry. Electrical Engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. This stream first became a distinguishable occupation in the late 19th Century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. Electrical Engineering may include electronic engineering. Electrical engineering stream deals with issues related with large scale electrical systems like power transmission and motor control. The duration of this degree course is 4-years and it provides loads of job opportunities in varieties of fields. Several universities and colleges are providing this course throughout the country.
