Electrical engineers work in industries that include research and development, energy,

engineering services, manufacturing, telecommunications and the federal government.


Electrical Engineering job growth is projected to occur largely in engineering services
firms, as more companies rely on the expertise of electrical engineers to develop
projects involving electronic devices and systems. Electrical engineers also will remain
in demand to develop sophisticated consumer electronics, says the BLS (Bureau of
Labor Statistics).

The rapid pace of technological innovation will likely increase Electrical Engineering
jobs in research and development to support the design of distribution systems related
to new technologies. Electrical engineers play key roles in new developments with solar
arrays, semiconductors and communications technologies. The need to upgrade the
nation’s power grids will also create demand and boost Electrical Engineering jobs.
Additionally, electrical engineers will assist with the automation of various production
processes.

Electrical engineers held about 183,370 jobs in 2017, reports the BLS. HBU students
who choose an Electrical Engineering major will be ready to work in process control,
network security, electrical distribution and other engineering-related positions. HBU
Electrical Engineering graduates will be ready to design the next generation of
electronic and control devices to ensure that better security measures can be built into
the devices during production and before utilization and operation begin.

Industries with the highest level of employment of electrical engineers include:

 Architectural, engineering and related services


 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution
 Navigational, measuring, electromedical and control instruments manufacturing
 Scientific research and development services
 Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing

Electrical engineers generally work indoors in offices. However, they may have to visit
sites to observe a problem or check a piece of complex equipment. Review the types of
electrical engineer careers below to determine if electrical engineering is right for
you.

Electrical Engineering Careers and Career Paths


Electrical engineers work on a variety of projects, ranging from computers, robots, cell
phones, cards and radar to navigation systems, wiring and lighting in buildings, and
other kinds of electrical systems. Such projects often start by defining what new
electronics should be able to do. Electronic engineers will then design the circuits and
parts of the electronics using a computer. Electrical engineers create a prototype and
test the product to improve it. Most products do not work initially or have some bugs that
need to be fixed. The electrical engineer needs to figure out the problem and make the
product work.
Texas is #2 nationwide with the highest employment of electrical engineers.

Electrical Engineering careers include many sub-disciplines, according to Sokanu, an


online career-matching platform. Some specialize exclusively in one sub-discipline,
while others specialize in a combination of sub-disciplines. The most popular sub-
disciplines are:

 Electronic Engineer: Deals with electronic circuits such as resistors, capacitors,


inductors, transistors and diodes
 Microelectronics Engineer: Works with design and micro-fabrication of tiny
electronic circuit components
 Signal Processing Engineer: Focuses on signals, such as analog or digital
signals
 Power Engineer: Deals with electricity and the design of related electrical
devices such as transformers, generators, motors and power electronics
 Controls Engineer: Directs the design of controllers that cause systems to
behave in a certain way, using micro-controllers, programmable logic controllers,
digital signal processors and electrical circuits
 Telecommunications Engineer: Focuses on the transmission of information via
a cable or optical fiber
 Instrumentation Engineer: Deals with the design of measuring devices for
pressure, flow and temperature; this involves a deep understanding of physics
 Computer Engineer: Specializes in the design of computers and computer
hardware
