 Message from the Chair
Why Major In Electrical Engineering?
Electrical engineers work in the areas of design
and analysis of digital and analog electronic
circuits, design and analysis of computer architecture,
microprocessors, communication networks, and
control systems. They apply this design and
analysis knowledge to the practice of electrical
engineering in an effective and professional
manner.
Electrical engineers are employed in practically
every field of human endeavor-manufacturing,
transportation, construction, business, education,
government, health care and many other areas.
It is difficult to imagine a field in which
engineering knowledge cannot be profitably applied.
As a result, the profession is becoming ever
more diversified, offering an even broader range
of career opportunities. In addition, an engineering
education is widely recognized as an excellent
background for entry into other occupations
and professions. Persons selecting electrical
engineering as a profession may enter one of
several specialties, depending upon interest
and aptitude. Within each specialty, an electrical
engineer may choose research, development, design,
production, application and sales or management.
