These circuits may be used in computers, telephones, and stereos. Others use their science and math skills to test equipment, solve operating problems, and write performance standards. Electrical engineers usually specialize in an area. They may choose power distribution equipment, lighting, integrated circuits, computers, electrical equipment manufacturing, or communications. They use computers in many ways.
Electrical engineers use computer programs to make drawings of ducts and wiring.
They may make a computer model of the equipment. Then, the computer will run a program and tell them how the system will work and which parts might have problems. They also use computers to control electric utility systems and to turn generators and other parts on and off. Electrical Engineers is in the Engineering, Science, and Technologies Career Cluster.
