Electrical engineering is a very broad discipline that addresses the design and understanding of devices, circuits, and systems that use electromagnetic waves in electronic or optical signals. This increasingly involves the use of computers, but focuses on the design and analysis of electronic/optical components and the signals that connect them. In contrast, the field of computer engineering focuses on computer hardware, while computer science looks at computer software and theory.

New institute prepares science and engineering grad students to teach
Graduate students in science and engineering typically receive intensive training in research and relatively little guidance in teaching. A new institute at the University of California, Santa Cruz, aims to change that by preparing science and engineering graduate students for their educational role, whether as future faculty members or in the wide range of other careers that require teaching skills.
