Question:

Electrical Engineering anyone?

i am attending college in the fall, actually school starts on the 21st, and my major will be in electrical engineering, i was just fishing around and wondered if anyone could give me, in a nutshell, the basics of this field. since i have already chosen this as my major I do know a little, enough to choose it as my major. i just wanted to know what I might not already know. Give the names of specific jobs that would be of interest after graduation also, if you know any. Thanks!

Answer:

Galactic man already gave it all but I just wanted to wish you good luck in your studies. I just became a junior and I'm majoring in EE as well. I wouldn't suggest keeping a certain EE job in mind since you're just starting out. You really won't find what you like until you actually start taking the classes and doing some co-op/internships (if your school has a program like that).
Sky is the limit! Beside all the obvious electrical engineering jobs such as circuit designer (both digital or analog), system engineer, semiconductor process or equipment engineer, power engineer, communication engineer, product engineer, device engineer, QC engineer, field service engineer, etc. You can be an astronaut, mission control engineer (for NASA), technical marketing or sales engineer (with MBA), apply for medical school, and God forbids be a professor in engineering (with PhD), Simply too many to list.
