Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system ...

In the first installment of this three-part series of articles, featured in the August 2024 print issue and online, we discussed fire pump requirements along with Code-related references in the ...

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department offers major programs leading to the bachelor of science in electrical-engineering or the bachelor of science in electrical and computer engineering, ...

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

Most electrical and electronic devices today require a method to detect tampering. In many cases, it could mean that the door of a device has been opened. This post will share some tamper detection ...

Electrical engineers design, develop and analyze key technological systems, like the ones that power electronics, communications and electromagnetics. In UW’s electrical engineering program, students ...
