La ingeniería eléctrica es una disciplina de ingeniería relacionada con el estudio, diseño y aplicación de equipos, dispositivos y sistemas que utilizan electricidad, electrónica y electromagnetismo. Surgió como una ocupación identificable en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX después de la comercialización del telégrafo eléctrico, el teléfono y la generación, distribución y uso de energía eléctrica.
“The design of this memoir is to deduce strictly from a few principles, obtained chiefly by experiment, the rationale of those electrical phenomena which are produced by the mutual contact of two or more bodies, and which have been termed galvanic; its aim is attained if by means of it the variety of facts be presented as unity to the mind.”
“Electrical engineering is becoming greatly in demand in colliery districts, and we have pleasure in noting the establishment of the new firm.”
“I was originally supposed to become an [Electrical] engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.”
“Innovation is everything. When you're on the forefront, you can see what the next innovation needs to be. When you're behind, you have to spend your energy catching up.”
“Ultimately, progress in applications is not deterministic, but opportunistic, exploiting for new applications whatever new science and technology happen to be coming along.”
“Computers are no more able to create information than iPods are capable of creating music.”
