<p>EE involves 4 major topics:</p>
<p>Digital/Analog circuits
Computer structures
Signals and Systems
Electromagnetics and wave propagation</p>
<p>Each topic is served as building block for upper level classes in its respective discipline...</p>
<p>Circuits - Ex: Transistor fabrication, CMOS design, VLSI design, microwave circuit design, etc. This is geared towards hardware design and circuits.</p>
<p>Signals and Systems- Digital signal processing, communication systems, communication networks, control systems, etc... The communications field concentration.</p>
<p>Computer structures- Microprocessor, digital computer design, etc. Concentration on assembly language programming...mips, verilog, bit manipulation, gates...etc. This is geared towards computer hardware design and embedded programming.</p>
<p>Electromagnetism - Optics, wave propagation, antennas and transmission lines. This is more geared towards topics on wireless as well as RF engineering.</p>
