National Trends Job openings resulting from job growth and the need to replace electrical engineers should be sufficient to absorb the number of new graduates, making for good employment opportunities through 2006. The need for electronics manufacturers to invest heavily in research and development to remain competitive will provide openings for graduates who have learned the latest technologies. Electrical and electronics engineering graduates should have favourable job opportunities.
