Why study Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering, one of the core branches of the engineering discipline,
deals with the study, design, and application of equipment,
devices, and systems that use electricity, electronics,
and electromagnetism. Electrical engineers work with all kinds of electronic devices,
from the smallest pocket devices to large supercomputers.
They develop and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment
and electrical systems for the automobile and aviation industries including electric motors,
machinery controls, radar and navigation systems, communication systems, power generation and transmission devices used by electric utilities, as well as lighting and wiring in buildings.

Employment Opportunities

After completing their B.Tech/BE in electrical engineering, students can also opt for any of the following jobs:

Electrical Design Engineer: Electrical design engineers develop new electrical systems for various applications by using systematic design methods. They use layout diagrams, terminal plans, and electrical schematics for testing, developing and debugging designs in the lab.
Electrical engineering technologist: An electrical engineering technologist conducts or supervises the installation, commission, and operation of electrical equipment (other than aircraft electronics or instruments). He or she is also responsible for diagnosing, testing and analysing the performance of electrical assemblies and systems.
Marine Electrical Engineer: A marine electrical engineer advises scientific crews on the most suitable use of electrical power. He or she develops technical manuals, troubleshooting procedures, drawing updates, operating procedures, maintainability improvements and test reports; validates/verifies various electronic and electrical systems; helps determine electrical requirements; and supervises the adapting and connecting of scientific equipment to shipboard power.
