Almost anything that that relies on the transfer of electrical energy and information - and makes use of devices such as electrodes, diodes, transistors, circuits, microprocessors, and electromagnets - is designed or built by electrical engineers.
Electrical engineers develop devices for high-voltage transmission lines, microelectronics, biomedical applications, digital communications and networks, data monitoring, nuclear power instrumentation, video cameras, receivers, and transmitters. They also manufacture control processes and systems for everything from aircrafts to robots and satellites.
As an Electrical Engineering graduate, you will find career opportunities in the design, development, manufacture, testing or marketing of electrical and electronic equipment and systems. Telecommunications and computer industries, government agencies, steel mills, biomedical engineering departments of hospitals, nuclear power plants, electronic systems and components manufacturers, and biomedical engineering firms all employ electrical engineers.
You may undertake include research and development, production engineering and quality control, computer systems engineering, industrial process control, marketing and technical services, and technical education.
