Electrical Engineer's Day

O Electrical Engineer's Day is celebrated in 23rd NovemberIt is a tribute to the professionals responsible for all the electrical energy that is distributed, making the energy arrive in the best and safest way to the delivery points, so a day was created dedicated to professionals who carry the great responsibility of keeping all the energy sources of a country functioning.

So since 2009 it has been recognized by law that all who are Electrical Engineers will be remembered nationally with all the merit they deserve. Many people do not know the importance of Electrical Engineers, but if we stop to understand how important the profession is for us, we would value more the profession of engineers, regardless of being an electrician, electronic, civil, food, among others, goes far beyond just someone who works for the operation of important things, but also all the will with which you carry out your work, all the time and dedication that you leave there, remember an Electrical Engineer when you turn on the light to fetch a glass of water at night, remember also when you go to do any simple function that involves Electricity.

Have you ever thought how hard it would be to have no light in the dark? Not being able to perform any basic function? Then you know, this is the level to which an electrical engineer is essential.

When is Electrical Engineer Day celebrated?

On 29 October 2009, Law N° 12.074 entered into force, stating that 23 November will be Electrical Engineer's DayThe great importance of the professional and also the principles that gave rise to the profession in Brazil.

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, for any kind of function that required an Electrical Engineer, it was necessary to bring someone from outside, because only European countries had professionals in the area, so due to the great demand for services to be performed by Electrical Engineers, the discipline was implemented in universities, both to reduce costs and to train people who really liked the area.

What to give on Electrical Engineer's Day?

We all like to receive gifts, at Electrical Engineer's DayWhatever the gift, what matters is the dedication, the importance that is given when choosing a gift.

You should always think about how much you would like to receive what you are giving someone, be it an engineer, doctor, teacher etc. But as our focus is them, the Electric Engineers, there are some gift ideas to make their day even better.

The first gift idea would be a necklace, with a pendant as a symbol of the profession, representing luck throughout his career, and perseverance to insist on what he wants. Already in a more affectionate way, I could present them with a personalized mug, saying how important they are for all of us, last and most common, would be the multimeter, a measuring device of great currents of electricity, the Electrical Engineers love to collect this item of precision.

Remember, as already said, there is no such thing as a certain gift determination, but choose with dedication, and with all certainty the person will like it.

Where can an electrical engineer work?

The areas of operation of a Electrical Engineer are many, the professional is basically responsible for everything that involves electricity and as it is an essential item for almost everything we do on a daily basis, on any occasion. Electrical engineers study many exact subjects, in the course they teach from calculus, to electrical circuits, so when choosing your area of expertise within electrical engineering, be aware of what you like most and go deep. Within electrical engineering there are many areas, but we will mention the main and best known.

Energy Supply

Energy supply is one of the main fields of activity that an electrical engineer performs, the most common being because energy is something widely used, so the demand for electrical engineers is high. In this area of activity the engineers carry out the creation of hydroelectric plants, they can also carry out similar activities in wind and solar power plants. In this field they can carry out small aids in energy suppliers, among other variations of activity.

Electro-electronics

In the area of the electro-electronics, the electrical engineers act carrying through the development of electronic components and systems, in general the professional develops all type of component, either for the branch of the medicine or even automotive, the field of the electro-electronics is well requested, because many professionals identify themselves.

Civil Construction

Many people associate Civil Construction with an area only for civil engineers, but they are not the only ones who can act in this area. Electrical engineers are responsible for the development of electrical circuits, widely used in construction, they choose the ideal materials for a quality electrical system. The electrical engineer also has great responsibility in planning how the electrical system will be used, among other projects involving the design of the plants.

Automation

For those who like automatic systems and facilitation systems, automation is a good area, because the 21st century is the age of technology and practicality, many robotic or self-control systems are often used, because saving time is saving money. In the field of automation the electrical engineer will have to perform some tasks, he will be responsible for making the entire structure and electrical automation system.

Electrical Engineer or Electrical Engineer?

Electrical engineer is a term used by the vast majority of people, usually associated with those who have studied electrical engineering, but actually the term is not correct, since "electrical" is not used for an electrical specialist but a word associated with the professional.

The right one, in fact, would be an electrical engineer, because it is a name that derives from the specialization of the professional and not a copy of the name of the specialty.

The electrical engineer is the one who studied electrical engineering, that is, the term electrical engineer is not totally incorrect, but as was decided by the CONFEAthe right one is an electrical engineer.

What is the difference between an electrical engineer and an electronic engineer?

Electronic engineers are all those who carry out the development of electronic components, which are also responsible for electronic systems for all types of segments, one of the main ones is:

Consumer electronicsIt is the branch that manufactures electronic equipment for personal use (TV, radio...), that is, any equipment that is intended for
to the most ordinary use.

Already the Electrical Engineer is responsible for the distribution of electrical energy, and also for several other functions, but in general this would be the main field of action. The difference between the two is little, because most of the activities that one does, the other also performs, the differential is the graduation course, because electronic engineering is studied in the technologist mode, that is, with less time duration, besides not learning all the subjects that are applied in the Bachelor in electrical engineering. The electronic engineer can also carry out energy generation and supply work.
