Abstract

There are blanks in the building of knowledge about Electrical Engineering history. Electricity has been latent in nature and human beings have discovered and developed its potential through millenniums. Electricity utilization by ancient civilizations such as Chinese, Sumerians and Parthians in the beginnings, its basic knowledge development and applications as well as the interconnection among Electricity’s shapes in nature are true examples of development and they are covered in this project. The collaborations of this project are: the presentation of new facts about this history and fill in some blanks, the disclosure of key realities about Electricity that point out their benefits to human society; the assortment of reports about inventions and discoveries related to names and places along timeline, and to present new proposals about Electrical Engineering education. The Electrical Engineering’s fundamentals are the base for the state-of-the-art up today and with a well endowed education course it cooperates to forming high level engineers.
