An
electrical engineer
is someone who designs and develops new
electrical
systems, solves problems and tests equipment. They study and apply the physics and mathematics of electricity, electromagnetism and electronics to both large and small scale systems to process information and transmit energy.
As an
electrical engineer
, you need to be able to think critically. You will engage in logical thinking to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of an
electrical
product. You can then proffer supplementary solutions, techniques, and conclusions to
electrical
issues.
Electrical engineering
is one of the newer branches of
engineering
, and dates back to the late 19th century. It is the branch of
engineering
that deals with the technology of electricity.
Electrical engineers
work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators.
