1, people's research on electromagnetic (force) phenomenon has been recorded at least since the beginning of17th century, but the real "system" research began at the beginning of19th century, and the landmark event was georg ohm's Ohm's Law published in 1827.

2. At the initial stage of development, most of the research on electrical engineering was classified as a branch of physics, and it was not until the end of 19 that many universities began to set up degrees in electrical engineering. 1882, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany first established the world's first electrical engineering department, professor and head of the department. Therefore, you can think that the establishment time of electrical engineering discipline in the world is1882;

3. The earliest school with electrical (mechanical) education in China is Nanyang Public College (now Jiaotong University, as for Xi Jiaotong University or Shanghai Jiaotong University, the two schools are always quarreling), which is 1909. So you can think that the discipline of electrical engineering in China appears in 1909. At present, the official name of the general specialty of "Electrical Engineering and Automation" appears in 1986 and has been approved by the State Council.
