The History of Electrical Engineering: Crash Course Engineering #4
Next stop on our tour of engineering's major fields: electrical engineering. In this episode we'll explore the history of telecommunications, electric power and ...
==========
Electricity powers our world. And we harness it through electrical engineering, the field that focuses on the application of electricity and electromagnetism in our everyday lives. Just as you have blood pumping through your veins, machines and systems often need electrical power flowing through their wires to work. It’s the lifeblood of our society. And it’s hard to imagine society today without three of the main branches of electrical engineering: telecommunications, power and lighting; and computer engineering. They each came about in their own way, with their own challenges and victories, their own heroes and sometimes villains. And you’d be surprised how much death is involved in the history of electrical engineering. Well, it can be dangerous. [Theme Music] Electrical engi...
