A few words on computers in electrical engineering

Computers have become a core component of electrical engineering, which is why Afeka now offers a specialization track in computers. In addition to the widespread use of personal computers, computers of all kinds are also integrated within almost every electronic device or instrument. Computers exist as part of designated systems and circuits in programmed CPLD, FPGA, and SOC hardware devices; as integrated processors and controllers running code in various operating systems such as VxWorks, RTOS, and Linux; and as systems on specific silicone ASICs. The various branches of modern electricity and electronics – including communications, control, power systems, signal processing, compression, encryption, and more – are realized and implemented, one way or another, using a computer.
