Learn to understand, design and develop devices and systems that operate on or generate electricity
Electrical engineers use the physics and mathematics of electricity, electromagnetism and electronics to create, develop and test electrical equipment and systems.
With an electrical engineering degree, you will be set for a career in areas as diverse as the automotive, chemical and petroleum industries; power utilities; defense and aeronautics; and telecommunications and computers.
Being a part of a community of driven scholars who all want to help each other reach their goals has really shown me how awesome learning can be in a way I never really saw before.
