I wonder how is the theory of electrical engineering taught in other universities. For example what topics does it cover and in what particular order. It is a classical course but yetIi suppose there is always a place for improvements.
For example in my university the syllabus of the theory of electrical engineering course looks something like this:
1. Basics of electrical engineering
1.1. Electromagnetic field. Basic laws.
1.2. Electric potential and electric voltage. Electromotive force.
1.3. Electromagnetic induction. Inductance. Mutual inductance.
1.4. Energy and forces in electric and magnetic fields.
1.5. Maxwell’s equations. Scalar and vector potential.
1.6. Poynting’s theorem
2. Linear DC electrical circuits. Methods for analysis. Magnetic circuits.
3. Linear circuits in sinusoidal steady state. Electrical resonance.
4. Linear circuits in non-sinusoidal steady state.
5. Transient processes of the first and second order. Classical and operator methods.
6. Three-phase circuits. Rotating magnetic field.
7. Active and passive two-port networks.
8. Linear electrical circuits with distributed components in sinusoidal steady state. Transient processes.
9. Non-linear electrical circuits in a steady state. Transient processes.

Dear Dr. Boris Ivanov Evstatiev, your question is very typical and the answer can not be summarized. Anyway I can suggest for the following link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_engineering
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This field first became an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use. It now covers a wide range of sub-fields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, RF engineering, and signal processing. .........Therefore, any curriculum must abide by this basic principle definition of Electrical Engineering.
Thank you all for your answers.
Afaq, definition is one thing but i've noticed there a lot of differences in the way things are presented in different universities/countries.
For example in the former socialist countries the theory of two-port networks is considered to be a very important part of electrical engineering while in many western universities they are not taught (or perhaps they are part of a more advanced course?).
Another example is the Maxwell's equation. Often they are taught in a physics course rather than in electrical engineering.
