  Communication engineering may work and design on tiny troubleshoot circuits or may work with the technology that manages a city wide electrical grid. They may work in a lab or at the top of a cellular tower; they also may travel many times or remain in a central office. For some positions, engineers must also be certified by one or more advisory bodies.
