The continuous exponential growth of information technology depends largely on the continuous technological innovation of many disciplines of electrical engineering. Conversely, the progress of information technology provides a newer and more advanced tool base for technological innovation in the field of electrical engineering.
The main factors that have the greatest influence on the development of electrical engineering include:
The decisive influence of information technology. Information technology is widely defined as the integration of computers, global high-speed broadband computer networks and communication systems, and related supporting technologies for sensing, processing, storing and displaying various information. Information technology has a particularly significant impact on the development of electrical engineering.
