Computer Engineering Considering the wide range of electronic devices people use everyday, it is not surprising that electrical engineering has become the most populated of the engineering disciplines. Electrical engineers have a wide range of career opportunities in almost all of the industrial sectors. Engineers specializing in computer technology are in such high demand that numerous institutions offer a separate major for computer engineering. Please refer back to the earlier section which described computer engineering separately.
Electrical engineers are responsible for the explosion in communication technologies.
Satellites provide nearly instantaneous global communication. Fiber optics and lasers are rapidly improving the reliability and speed with which information can be exchanged. Wireless communication allows people to communicate anywhere, with anyone. Future breakthroughs in this field will have tremendous impact on how we live in tomorrow's society. Electrical engineers also design and develop electronic circuits.
