Electrical Engineer
Transcript: Supervise manufacturing process and attend meetings to discuss and plan projects Posible Entry Points Potential Advancements I need to improve on geometry and english skills along with biology. BY ANDREW WU Entry Wage Hourly- $34.10 Annual- $70,930 Median Wage Hourly- $41.78 Annual- $86,890 Experienced Wage Hourly- $51.17 Annual- $106,430 Along with their salaries most engineers also receive benefits, including health and dental insurance and paid sick leave and vacation time. Other benefits include performance-based bonuses,and use of a company car. Use computer programs to design products, components, or electrical systems and test systems and equipment to make sure they perform as required Training I am interested in computers and wiring and how they work. A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is offered at colleges across the country. Electrical Engineer My Goals I can work towards a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and take classes like chemestry, physics, trigonometry, and world history. Estimate quantities and cost of materials, equipment, and labor needed for projects A lot of the work electrical engineers do is done at a desk, in front of a computer. Sometimes they are required to respond to and solve problems on the factory or power plant floor and engineers who specialize in telecommunications equipment may have to travel to communications towers to install or repair equipment. Those who work as consultants may go across the country or the world to their clients’ factories. The average starting salary for those with bachelor’s degrees in electrical/electronic and communications engineering is about $60,000 a year. Resouces: http://www.careercruising.com Potential advancements are: Trainee Junior Engineer Intermediate Engineer Senior Engineer Manager / Senior Partner Highly trained specialists with lots of experience and senior-level managers can earn well over $125,000 a year. Most electrical engineers in the United States earn between $53,000 and $126,000 a year I enjoy playing around with the computer and figuring stuff out. Also I find wiring and circuits interesting. On the job, electrical engineers use precise drafting and designing techniques to turn their ideas into products that help consumers. The tools they use include computer programs, such as CAD (computer-aided design) programs, which give three-dimensional views of their designs. At the undergraduate level, students are taught how to design and build electrical communications systems, power systems, and computers. Electrical engineers work between 40 and 45 hours a week, depending on deadlines and workload. Many can also expect to work a fair number of evenings and weekends when they are under pressure to meet a deadline. A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is the minimum educational requirement but a master's degree or PhD is often required for academic or advanced research and development positions. Vacation time varies from company to company, but most electrical engineers take between 2 and 4 weeks of vacation a year. Nature of the Work/ Outlook Potential Benefits Earnings A bachelor's degree costs around 40,00 dollars (10,000 per year) and increases as you work a PHD.
