Occupations in electrical/electronics engineering. The field of electrical and electronics engineering has grown to include many related disciplines and occupations.

The Dictionary of Occupational Titles lists a number of occupations in electrical/electronics engineering. It describes them as concerned with applications of the laws of electrical energy and the principles of engineering for the generation, transmission and use of electricity, as well as the design and development of machinery and equipment for the production and utilization of electrical power:
