What are Different Fields Where Electrical Engineers Can Work?

07/12/2018 7:47 AM

Electrical Engineers have lots of job opportunities in various fields like atomic power plants, hydro or thermal power plants. In private and public sector also they are having job opportunities like railways, civil aviation, electricity board and utility companies, electrical designing and consultancy firms and all types of manufacturing industries.

When I started into the EE course at PSU in 1968, the Dean told us that 75% of us would never be an EE. We would be in an engineering or technical field, just not an EE, because a person with an EE degree has proven to be the most flexible and trainable of the technical degrees.

For example, while I worked as an EE for 4 years after college and am currently working as an EE, I spent 11 years as a psuedo petroleum engineer, running instruments down the borehole to analyze petroleum reservoirs and predict future production. It was far easier to train a EE in some geology and petroleum reservoir dynamics, than to try to train a geologist or petroleum engineer how to run and maintain the required electronic recording devices. Of all the engineers I worked with in this field about 80% had a degree in EE. While I did work with a man with a geology degree once, he didn't last long. When the electronics failed, he didn't know how to repair such, and just threw the equipment around in the recording truck.
