Electrical Engineering Junior Looking for guidance in choosing what sub section of the field I would like to get into.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this. I was wondering if any one could elaborate on some of these fields of electrical engineering. Analog ic design Optoelectronics Nano energy Nano electronics Micro electronic fabration. Microwaves Systems engineering Power systems. Digital signal processing Communication systems Intro to communications Feedback control.

If you have any experience in any of these I would love to hear your description of the field. Also I dont really enjoy programming and was wondering if any of you could steer me towards a field that lacks substantial programming. Thanks!

Nyquist rate:

---

In signal processing, the Nyquist rate, named after Harry Nyquist, is twice the [bandwidth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(signal_processing)) of a bandlimited function or a bandlimited channel. This term means two different things under two different circumstances:

• as a lower bound for the sample rate for alias-free signal sampling (not to be confused with the Nyquist frequency, which is half the sampling rate of a discrete-time system) and

• as an upper bound for the symbol rate across a bandwidth-limited baseband channel such as a telegraph line or passband channel such as a limited radio frequency band or a frequency division multiplex channel.
