Electronic Engineering
Is a discipline dealing with the behavior and effects of electrons (as in electron tubes, transistors and ICs) and with electronic devices, systems, or equipment. The term now also covers a large part of electrical engineering degree courses as studied at most European universities. In the U.S., however, electrical engineering implies all the wide electrical disciplines including electronics. There is the worldwide organization IEEE that sets the standard as standard bearer in the electrical and electronic field.
In many areas, electronic engineering is considered to be at the same level as electrical engineering, requiring that more general programs be called electrical and electronic engineering (many UK and Turkish universities have departments of Electronic and Electrical Engineering). Both define a broad field that encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering, telecommunications, and semiconductor circuit design amongst many others.
Terminology
The name electrical engineering is still used to cover electronic engineering amongst some of the older (notably American) universities and graduates there are called electrical engineers. The distinction between electronic and electrical engineers is becoming more and more distinct. While electrical engineers utilize voltage and current to deliver power, electronic engineers utilize voltage and current to deliver information through information technology.
Some people believe the term "electrical engineer" should be reserved for those having specialized in power and heavy current or high voltage engineering, while others believe that power is just one subset of electrical engineering (and indeed the term "power engineering" is used in that industry) as well as "electrical distribution engineering". Again, in recent years there has been a growth of new separate-entry degree courses such as "information engineering" and "communication systems engineering", often followed by academic departments of similar name.
Most European universities now refer to electrical engineering as power engineers and make a distinction between Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Beginning in the 1980s, the term computer engineer was often used to refer to electronic or information engineers. However, Computer Engineering is now considered a subset of Electronics Engineering and the term is now becoming archaic.

In the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Nebraska. The EE Department has over 25 faculty involved in research related to electronic materials, nano-technology, optical systems, communications, biomedical applications, signal processing, microelectronics design, energy systems, and electromagnetics. Undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in research activities, and have opportunities to travel and present their research results. Graduate students are also strongly supported by the department with regard to travel and participation in technical conferences and workshops.
The department has extensive research facilities for all areas including state of the art computing facilities, integrated circuits and systems research facilities, communications and signal-processing laboratories, applied electromagnetics research, solid state laboratories, nanostructures research, electro-optics research and energy systems laboratories.
In addition to computing facilities individually operated by each research group, the department administers a network of high-end UNIX workstations and PCs, upgraded regularly, and used for classroom instruction as well as the individual needs of students. For integrated circuits and systems research, a network of workstations is maintained with VLSI CAD software that includes Mentor Graphics, Hspice, Xilinx placement and routing tools, and Tanner. VLSI test facilities include data acquisition and RF and mixed-signal test and measurement instruments for integrated circuit characterization. Communications and signal-processing laboratories are maintained for data compression, error control coding, array signal processing, mobile communications, bioinformatics, and biomedical signal processing research activities. Applied electromagnetics research facilities include an optical polarimetric scatterometer, an atomic force/scanning tunneling microscope, and an anechoic chamber facility. The solid state laboratories have a full array of material processing and device fabrication facilities along with specialized equipment for measurement, allowing research on thin-film deposition and characterization, photolithography systems, ellipsometry for in-situ monitoring of growth processes, plasma etching and the study of breakdown phenomena, and diamond film growth at low temperatures. Nanostructures research includes facilities for the study of self-assembly of quantum dots and wires, their properties in cryogenic, noise-isolated environments, and the creation of nanostructures as well as hard materials coatings. Other electrooptics research focuses on femto- and atto-second laser techniques and sensor development using a high-powered ultra-short pulse laser, and optical diagnostics and spectroscopy equipment. The energy systems laboratories include test and measurement equipment for high temperature and cryogenic environments for power electronics converters and semiconductor devices, as well as a test bed for advanced electric machine prototypes.
This is amazing Nipponia Electronica. He samples and mash ups a every TV program, a news image, a documentary film, an entertainment TV program and every movies. He finish an original work by adding new electronic sound to this. Nipponia Electronica does not release package media work yet. He loves YouTube ! We recognize him as media artist.
