Careers
Electrical engineering is a versatile degree. Because electronics have penetrated virtually every aspect of our lives,the opportunities are unlimited.By the time you’ve graduated with a Bsc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering , chances are you’ll be more proficient in some skills than others. Depending on your preferences, you may choose to go down one of these common career paths:
-
Electrical Engineer: The most obvious career path for one with an Electrical engineering degree, the electrical engineer is generally responsible for the design, development and testing of electronic products, components, and devices.
-
Project Engineer: If you have strong soft skills such as leadership and communication, you may be suited to overseeing projects and delegating tasks. Project engineers are responsible for managing personnel, budgets, and schedules to meet technical deliverables. Depending on the structure of a company, a senior electrical engineer may double as a project engineer or project manager
-
Design Engineer: If you love CAD and PCB design, this is the career path for you. The design engineer is the one who actually drafts the wiring diagrams and engineering drawings that document the product. Design engineers are actively involved in turning engineering requirements into product designs.
-
Test Engineer: Products need to be tested, often in the field. The test engineer will test a product to its engineering requirements. This can involve everything from subjecting a product to extreme temperatures, humidity, and dynamic environments to running electrical tests on the assembly line.
-
Instrumentation & Controls Engineer: The instrumentation and controls engineer takes process variables such as pressure, temperature, humidity, flow, and speed, etc. and uses them with control schemes to automate a production process.
In reality, there can be a lot of overlap between the different job titles in this list. The actual roles of job titles can vary from company to company.
This list barely scratches the surface of the different careers an Electrical engineering graduate can pursue.
