Is Electrical Engineering Dead?

Is electrical engineering a good major? Is electrical engineering a good career? You might wonder and ask yourself: is electrical engineering right for me? Or worse, you could ask: is electrical engineering dead? And I am here to assure you that NO its NOT.

Electrical engineering jobs are insanely in demand. There are many electrical engineering jobs which are a good signal if you are considering an electrical engineering career. Electrical engineering is worth it and an electrical engineer career is probably one of the best things you can invest in.

Despite all the pressure from people to study computer science you keep encouraging me that electrical engineering is also good. Am so lucky I discovered your channel

[peterasamoah]

I’ve always thought that EE was inseparable from software and modern life in general but I really like the way you put it because software literally can’t exist without the hardware that backs it up. Maybe in one or two decades from now we’ll have mainstream wearable tech and a functioning meta verse (fingers crossed of course 😅) and when that time comes the demand for EE will surely skyrocket 🚀

[koshka]

Yea, my major is Electrical Engineering, and in all my classes, I'd say about 90% of the people are all majoring in Computer Engineering with plans to go into the Software stream

[CEA]

Realistically more software people are needed. I see it everywhere. You can work at prob. 80 % of companies in existence as a software developer. Electrical isn't bad but you need lots of experience to really dig into FPGA / VLSI / SoC design.

I’ve been reading your book and I want to thank you for the so valuable lessons it teaches, not only relating to EE, but also for my personal life. Still not quite sure if EE is for me, but you’ve given me some enriching advise nonetheless 😊

At a point I started associating 'tech job' with computer science and then I remembered most of tech is engineering which you helped me remember lately, thanks man.
Going hard on Engineering - tired of this computer science 'tech' trend.

Am going for Electrical and Electronics Engineering and watching your videos makes me not to regret my decision

[JayDEEPIEAS]

*Dude this video came outta nowhere and now soothing my nerves...absolute blessing🥰*

[ronalerquinigoagurto]

As you climb the tech stack towards applications complexity and innovation increases, that is why there is more demand for software engineers

[turtle_]

Great channel. There aren’t many electrical engineering channels like this.

I think the best part of EE is that you can always switch to CS if the market starts favoring it, and during major layoffs or market crashes in CS you can switch to EE or even mechanical, they're all very similar and usually knowing a bit of all 3 and specializing in one is better than only specializing in one.

Unfortunately at the moment, most companies are starving out the talent pool of hardware designers because they refuse to pay them like they do software engineers. So most people choose comp sci or even switch from hardware to software in their career. But the chickens are coming home to roost. They have to start paying for the talent to encourage more people to choose the hardware career path. Shit or get off the pot as they say.

We have to realize there will be no advanced technology without Electricity as strong foundation so Electrical Engineering Field will continue to grow with Technology 💪

[samjelanyoh]

I’m about to get into electrical engineering in April I’m glad I found this video.

[dancingshade]

The main difference is.
Software engineering can be remote and pays much better than electrical.

Only a few electrical engineering roles can be remote, and those are roles are software leaning as well.


Though i will say electrical engineering is more steady cereer wise.

A little note on the computer engineering history part; while mechanical computers and vacuum tubes preceded transistors, computers as we know them today did not really take off (and would have never taken off) without the invention and utilization of transistors. I will likely make some technical content about EE/CE/CS sometime soon.

ee is active because electricity is a funtamental for our society (ee are needed for the maintenance and building of infrastuctures). but it is prosperus (mostly electronic eng)because it is currently being used by computer science. consider this : who made a more significant contribution ?Shakespeare or the guy who created the ink and paper with witch shak wrote ? Each one is good in his field. could the craftman write some some poems or plays in paper ? sure and probably did write something, but he didnt write romeo an juliet. could shak make some ink ? probably if he was in a craftmans lab . but he couldnt probably make the top quality ready for sale stuff.

[andrewsegundo]

I’ve read way too often that EE grads switch over to software roles simply because that’s where the demand is. I feel maybe this may coming from a doctoral perspective of opportunities rather than a terminal BS perspective.
If it’s the case that there aren’t enough hardware jobs for all EE’s (the pay really says it all, they’re not hurting for people), why not just redirect your studies to develop better software?

[Nachbardesvertrauens]

Do I have realistic chances to success getting the bachelor in electrical engineering, even though I was pretty bad at mathematics in my school? I'm from Germany, so I did Oberstufe, similar to High school. The thing is I never tried to learn mathematics cuz it was pretty boring for me. I'm interested in Electrical Engineering, but would you suggest doing it, if I'm not even interested in doing math? Hope for a positive answer.

[pietheijn-vogt]

I have a BSc in electrical engineering and now I'm studying MSc signal processing + machine learning/AI. Am I still an electrical engineer? lol (I really don't want to call myself a software engineer, I just happen to really need python)
