Transportation can include railroads, shipbuilding, and traffic management. What these disparate areas have in common is the increased use of electronics merged with other engineering disciplines. It includes electronics for internal and external communication, navigation, failure detection, and displays of many types. Many vehicles are directed and accelerated by fault-tolerant electronics.
Electric power is generated and distributed within most vehicles.
Ships are wired like small cities for power and information. Once the domain of mechanical and civil engineering, transportation and automotive areas have many job opportunities for electrical engineers from various technical specialties, including communications, computers, and control systems.
