The broad field of electrical engineering involves working with all manners of electronic devices, from pocket calculators to supercomputers. Often overlapping with computer engineering, a college degree in electrical engineering can open up the door to a technical career in almost any industry.
Electrical engineers work to distribute electricity and design electrical systems for vehicles and other products. They have a high starting salary but are expected to see slow job growth in the coming decade. Aspiring electrical engineers should look for ABET-accredited engineering bachelor's programs. Licensure is required in this field for engineers who work directly with the public.
