Electrical Engineers work in a wide variety of industries. Popular sub disciplines include electronic engineering, microelectronics engineering, signal processing engineering, power engineering, control engineering, telecommunications engineering, instrumentation engineering, and computer engineering. Common tasks include: 

• Inventing, designing and building hardware and computer devices (some too small to see)

• Using CAD systems for creation of schematics and to lay out circuits

• Using computers to simulate how electrical devices and systems will function

• Controlling algorithms, sensors, and AI processors

• Designing, building, improving, and testing printed circuits, microprocessors, and other small components 

• Analyzing and altering digital signals to make them more accurate and reliable

• Designing and developing equipment and systems for efficient and safe manufacturing operations

• Constructing, operating, and maintaining electrical systems and equipment
