  • You have touched on two different topics, neither of which belong here.<ul>
  • <li><b>Scope of the Electrical Engineering site</b>
  • As Monica has already explained, this is up to the users of the site. The right place to discuss that is in the Meta category of the EE site.
  • <li><b>Having a general Engineering site</b>
  • That would be a site proposal, and as such belong in the Site Proposals category of this site. I vaguely remember there was a previous proposal for an engineering site, or at least something similar. If you do propose an engineering site, you should first look at the history of similar proposals. Make sure you're not just proposing a duplicate, or explain how your proposal is different.

  • If this is strictly true, then Codidact currently has no place for you to ask those questions. We do have a physics site. If you can phrase questions to be about the underlying technology rather than implementation issues, then it might be appropriate to ask there.

You have touched on two different topics, neither of which belong here.<ul>

<li><b>Scope of the Electrical Engineering site</b>

As Monica has already explained, this is up to the users of the site.  The right place to discuss that is in the Meta category of the EE site.

<li><b>Having a general Engineering site</b>

That would be a site proposal, and as such belong in the Site Proposals category of this site.  I vaguely remember there was a previous proposal for an engineering site, or at least something similar.  If you do propose an engineering site, you should first look at the history of similar proposals.  Make sure you're not just proposing a duplicate, or explain how your proposal is different.
