Signal processing/communications and controls
Signal processing involves sound, images and sensor data, while the field of communications provides society with storage devices, such as hard drives, and connectivity, such as the internet and mobile phones. Controls help a variety of applications function, such as robotics and self-driving cars.
Electromagnetics
Electromagnetics is the study of the effect of charges at rest and in motion. This field analyzes, models and designs antenna systems, radio frequency/microwave circuits, fiber optics and electronics packaging.
Physical electronics and photonics
Physical electronics and photonics (formerly solid-state electronics) deals with circuits and devices built from and contained within solid materials. Some examples are microchips, LED and LCD devices. The field covers topics that include semiconductor devices and materials, characterization, photonic/photovoltaic devices, semiconductor processing/intelligent control, nanoelectronics, computational electronics and molecular electronics and transport.
