Welcome to Electrical and Computer Engineering!

Electrical Engineering is about what you can do to a voltage. Sensors help take the real world, and turn it into a voltage. Then you can amplify or divide it, add or subtract it, compare it, and more. << Simulation of how the electrical fields (and currents) would flow from a charge on the left to a charge on the right through the 'U'.
