Electrical Engineers

Electrical engineers design and develop systems that generate, transmit, and use electrical power and signals. They work on projects ranging from massive power grids and renewable energy systems to tiny computer chips and telecommunications networks. On any given day, they might use computer-aided design software to create circuit diagrams, build prototypes in a lab, or troubleshoot why a system isn't performing as expected. They collaborate with other engineers and technicians to test new designs, analyze data from experiments, and refine their work to meet safety standards and project specifications.
