Electrical engineering is consistently one of the highest-paid and most in-demand careers. Nearly every industry relies on electrical engineers to create both the underlying power and communications infrastructure and the consumer products that power our lives. Electrical engineers understand how to design and make the hardware that helps our newest intelligent tools and machines – and houses and cars – get smarter, smaller, cheaper, faster and safer. And when radical new technologies appear on the horizon that will dramatically change our technological landscape, one thing is certain: they will come from the imaginations of electrical engineers.
