| An electrical engineer is far from just making light bulbs | | | | to utilize your programming skills as almost everything |
| as they have an enormous selection of career paths | | | | today has a microcontroller inside, including the alarm |
| to choose from. An electrical engineer can choose the | | | | clock that you woke up to. So brush up on those |
| following industry as their career path: power | | | | programming skills! An electrical engineer with both |
| transmission, electromagnetic, signal processing, control | | | | proven hardware and software skills will be a valuable |
| system design, commercial appliances, | | | | asset for companies. |
| instrumentations, telecommunications, embedded | | | | In your undergraduate studies, you can also participate |
| systems, bioelectricity etc. | | | | in different engineering research projects happening in |
| Sounds interesting doesn't it? So how does one | | | | the campus. You can learn a lot of knowledge from |
| become an electrical engineer then? You will need to | | | | the professors and graduate students that would not |
| be interested in how things work and have the | | | | normally be able to learn in courses. Another |
| enthusiasm to find the solution. You will also need to | | | | opportunity that is excellent for your career is to |
