Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers design, develop, and test electrical equipment. They deal with things like...

• electric motors
• radar
• navigation systems
• communications systems
• power generation equipment
• automobiles and aircrafts

Electronics engineers design and develop all kinds of equipment. This ranges anywhere portable music players to large scale applications like global positioning systems (GPSs). Many also work in areas closely related to computer hardware.

Electrical engineering is a broad area of engineering that has sever sub-specialties within it.

• Power Engineering
• Control Engineering
• Electronics/Microelectronics
• Computers
• Etc.

They use basic physics and circuitry principles to design electronic components, software, products, or systems for commercial, industrial, medical, military, or scientific applications.

The average pay is around $98,000, which is slightly higher than the engineering field average overall. If you find yourself interested in computer science and how electricity powers almost every device around us, electrical engineering might definitely appeal to you.
