Question:

What is the day like for an electrical engineer?

I am currently studying electrical engineering in college but Im considering maybe teaching math for a while. But I wanted to ask what the daily routine is like for an electrical engineer at workThank you

Answer:

BORNING ROUTINE, SITTING IN FRONT OF COMPUTER MONITOR TO DO NON IMPORTANT WORK OR NO WORK !
There is no typical day for most engineers and that is a good thing. Yes, some engineers settle for repetitive engineering jobs but you don't have to. There are always jobs with variety and interesting stuff to do.
There are different types of Electrical Engineering jobs. Could be with:- Civil engineering projects Mechanical engineering projects . Electronic engineering projects Might be an idea to enter industry and perhaps enter teaching at a later date. Not an uncommon route.
I am an electrical engineer at the university of texas at austin and I recently interned at L3 as an electrical engineer working with hardware. Basically from what Ive done you really work with testing electrical equipment making sure it works correctly. I worked a lot with multisim, matlab, and other programing/testing devices. You also get to install hardware ocassionally. But most of the time I followed around my mentor and learned what the day to day job required. Had to get a security clearance though.
