What is your dream job in electrical engineering?

[karnez]

I'm an Electrician and in school for Engineering technology, I will be going for my bachelor's when I finish my A.S. I want to do robotics

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It involves the design, development, testing, and deployment of electrical systems, devices, and technologies. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of applications, from small electronic devices to large-scale power generation and distribution systems.

Here are 10 ultimate things to know about electrical engineering and its categories:

1. *Circuits and Electronics*: Understanding circuit analysis, electronic components, and device physics.

2. *Electromagnetism*: Grasping electromagnetic theory, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic waves.

3. *Control Systems*: Knowing control system design, modeling, and analysis, as well as control strategies and algorithms.

4. *Power Systems*: Understanding power generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization, including power system protection and control.

5. *Signal Processing*: Familiarity with signal processing techniques, including filtering, transforms, and signal analysis.

6. *Communication Systems*: Knowledge of communication systems, including analog and digital communications, modulation, and information theory.

7. *Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems*: Understanding microcontroller architecture, programming, and applications, as well as embedded system design.

8. *Computer Networks*: Knowing computer network fundamentals, including network topologies, protocols, and network architecture.

9. *Instrumentation and Measurement*: Understanding measurement principles, sensors, and instrumentation, as well as data acquisition and analysis.

10. *Electrical Energy Conversion*: Grasping electrical energy conversion principles, including electric machines, drives, and power electronics.

Categories of Electrical Engineering:

1. *Power Engineering*: Deals with power generation, transmission, and distribution.

2. *Control and Instrumentation Engineering*: Focuses on control systems, instrumentation, and automation.

3. *Electronics and Communication Engineering*: Encompasses electronic circuits, communication systems, and signal processing.

4. *Computer Engineering*: Covers computer hardware, software, and networking aspects.

5. *Instrumentation Engineering*: Concerned with measurement, sensors, and data acquisition.

6. *Electrical Machines and Drives*: Deals with electric machines, drives, and power electronics.

7. *Renewable Energy Engineering*: Focuses on solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources.

8. *Electrical Engineering Materials Science*: Explores materials used in electrical engineering applications.

9. *Biomedical Engineering*: Applies electrical engineering principles to medical applications.

10. *Nanotechnology*: Explores the application of electrical engineering principles to nanoscale devices and systems.

Remember, these categories often overlap, and electrical engineers may work across multiple areas throughout their careers.

I was very torn in 2018 about if I was capable of doing engineering at university, but you and some other people ( e.g. MajorPrep) were one of the factors that helped sway me to believe I could go to uni and do engineering. I'm now completing my foundation year course this summer, and if all goes well then I'll be going onto Year 1 of Electrical & Electronic Engineering this autumn. 😃
Good to have you back on YouTube, and Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[LayaCups]

watching this and don't know what to do in my life.

[zeteewz]

The way you are helping people in the comments and answering thier questions is amazing, thank you so much 😊

[davidlucario]

Amazing job!
I'm electronic engineer in Mexico, during 10 years that I finish the engineering career, I've never seen anything like that, if it exists in mexican industry, most of the time a mechanical engineer does that, no electronics engineer.

[John-cqhk]

Controls and instrumentation..seems like magic. Its amazing that people can do this..

[adrianbluepythons]

The in depth you could go into the relationship between academic focuses and career application the better. Learning a little bit can make a choice seem easy. Learning a lot can make a choice seem overwhelming. Learning the full or fullest scope possible of something like choosing what to study for the right career can make a choice feel like it will the right one.

[HamedAdefuwa]

just finished my first year in electrical engineering, very glad ur back

[Classifiedastra]

Currently a computer science major but going to switch to EE and minor in physics. I want to work with robotics and aerospace crafts. I feel like this would be a better fit and more hands on. Started to hate being behind a screen hours on end.

[romanzolanski]

I was to supposed to take CS next month but I decided to take EE instead, I’ll do CS or Physics later after I graduate, I also think that CS is very saturated especially here in my country where IT and CS end up as “beehive” workers. I decided to take EE too because one of my role model is Nikola Tesla and I love physics! I want to study physics for all my life LOL

[carverkain]

I joined the Navy as a part of their Advanced Electronics/ Computer Field and I’ve been planning to get my electrical engineering degree and transition to the civilian world

[dewigesrek]

i joined EE because i like hardware, end up pursuing a Software engineering job

Question: Do electrical engineers actually build things? I am heavily interested in mechatronics engineering because I hear you can obtain a wide range of knowledge from it about building things, and I'd love to learn how to build things and maybe have that as a job

[LegendaryLooter]

I went with a bachelors and masters in EE, really liked communication systems and telecommunications, ended up working for the DoD as a systems engineer, do a lot of system integration for C130J

[abrarshaikh]

Being a final year electrical and electronics engineering student (an integrated program). Here's my some of

1) I won't classify computer engineering as sub domain of electrical or vis versa. Both are different in their own field.
Although I will put the mutual topics of both engineering under electronic domain (Digital electronics).
2) Signal and Control are the toughest subjects in entire enginnering program, due to it's vigorous math orientation.
3) Communication is most boring and dull but the same it's interesting also. Here you will find direct application of electromagnetism. If you love physics, then you will definately enjoy some part. (I have mixed feelings for particular).
4) Electronic is really huge field, ranging from vlsi to micro&nano. ( As earlier mentioned, it's integration of non core electrical and computer science)
5) Power engineering is core electrical. In which electric machine was least intrested subject I found.
6) power electronics, the rapidly emerging field due to demand of solar energy and EVs. You'll find tast of power, electronic and Control engineering.

[rahakh]

Thanks for your awesome explain, I watch your video from Iran ❤🇮🇷, I'm 18 and these days I'm thinking about EE, cause next year I have to go univ. by the way, your video was soo helpful ⚡

[tmann]

As an electrical engineering major this makes my choices much clearer!

[jkolade]

Ah, so I started my EE degree when I was 16, but I really didn't know what I wanted to do specifically. I wanted to get all the degrees out there, thinking that would bring me some purpose since I love learning, but having completed a year of my bachelor's, it doesn't seem like this will be the case. I picked EE because it was broad, but now having so many interests in different research areas, industries, and businesses is making it very hard to choose a focus. My initial thought was just to do everything: get an MS and PhD on the way to the PE certification or vice versa.
However, I can't just nab degrees if I don't know what they're in or do research if I don't know what on. I can't even take the PE exam without choosing an industry. So, it's really important that I talk to people and figure out if their opportunities and lifestyles are for me. Where would you recommend me to speak to a body of professionals willing to offer this kind of insight on their lives?
