Q: I am currently doing a school project in which I am being interviewed as if ten years from now I am an electrical engineering being interviewed for a job. I would like to know what the requirements for obtaining a career as an electrical engineering. I would like to know what steps I need to take for that specific field. What kind of majors, certificates, etc., should I pursue?
A career in electrical engineering generally requires an education from a specialized school, college, or university. Depending on the nature of the job desired, a bachelor's or graduate degree is usually necessary.
A 1999 report by the National Science Foundation estimates that electrical engineers make up about one-fourth of all those employed as engineers. Most electrical engineers in the United States and Canada started their careers after earning a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in engineering from an accredited program that required four years of study (some universities award a Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Applied Science degree). In some European countries, typical engineering programs require five years of study. The general trend in Europe (based on the Bologna Declaration) is toward a program of three (3) years of studies toward a B.Sc. degree followed by two (2) years of studies toward a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree. Only M.Sc. holders are considered ready for engineering practice.
It is estimated that about 77% of practicing engineers with engineering degrees in the United States hold a B.Sc as their highest degree (requiring on average 4 years). 19% hold an M.Sc. (requiring additional 2 years on average), and the remaining 4% hold a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) (requiring on average 4 years of study after the B.Sc. degree). Most engineering jobs still require only a B.Sc. or equivalent. However, if you desire to do advanced development work, an M.Sc. is likely to be required; if you wish to engage in state of the art research, you probably would need a Ph.D. degree.
Electrical engineering major and its sub-disciplines
Electrical engineering is a broad academic field and is composed of many sub-disciplines. These sub-disciplines include (but are not limited to) power, control, electronics, microelectronics, signal processing, telecommunications, and computers. The diversity of the academic field is representative of the diversity of professional careers in electrical engineering, which range from the design and modeling of nano-scale electronic devices to the control of the US electric power grid. Computer engineering and electronics engineering are also closely related to electrical engineering.
Most universities offer curriculum tracks within their electrical engineering department that focus on individual sub-disciplines. You should select a track or sub-discipline based on the kinds of jobs that interest you.
Licensure
For careers that involve providing engineering services to the public, the applicant usually must be licensed as a professional engineer. In the United States, this requires (in addition to a degree from an accredited engineering program) four years of relevant work experience and passing a state exam. Although in general it is not necessary to attain the Professional Engineering (PE) license to practice engineering, it may be required in order to do certain kinds of government work or to review and approve designs. Some companies may require the license for promotion to management positions.
