Electrical engineering

Lesson
Overview

• Electrical engineering is the study and application of


electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In
simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity
works in order to use the knowledge for engineering
applications. Electrical engineers defined the 20th
century with technologies that transformed society.
What Do Electrical Engineers Do?
• Electrical engineers study electric and magnetic phenomena
and exploit their unique and malleable properties to the
benefit of society. In particular, electrical engineers design,
build, test, analyze, and document a full spectrum of simple
to extremely complex electric and electronic devices,
machines, systems, and sub-systems.
Electric Power and Energy
• Electrical engineers design power plants, substations, and
transmission lines to make sure that electricity is safely
delivered and reliably available to consumers. They also work
on improving the efficiency and sustainability of power
systems by developing renewable energy sources like solar
and wind power.
• Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of
electrical equipment.
Work Environment
• Electrical and electronics engineers work in industries including research and
development, engineering services, manufacturing, telecommunications, and the
federal government. Electrical and electronics engineers generally work indoors
in offices. However, they may have to visit sites to observe a problem or a piece
of complex equipment.
How to Become an Electrical or Electronics Engineer
• Electrical and electronics engineers must have a bachelor’s degree. Employers
also value practical experience, such as internships or participation in cooperative
engineering programs.
Pay
• The median annual wage for electrical engineers was $106,950 in May 2023. The
median annual wage for electronics engineers, except computer was $119,200 in
May 2023.

• Job Outlook
• Overall employment of electrical and electronics engineers is projected to grow 9
percent from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Similar Occupations
• Compare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of
electrical and electronics engineers with similar occupations.
