The Tribulations of the Trade
Electrical Engineering
The future of energy falls into our own hands
Why did i choose electrical engineering?
Good ole' power plant
Benjamin being estatic
The man, the myth, the legend:Benjamin Franklin.
In case you don't know Franklin: he was an American inventor and innovator. He contributed to much of the understandings of electricity. A fun fact about Franklin: he invented bifocal glasses, and the odometer.
With time comes progression
Things I have come to know and pass along!
- Typically, electrical engineers will work with other engineers to tackle a project.
- Electrical engineers are not required to be a math magician. However, the job comes with many mathematical curves: study up!
- Very much a kinesthetic occupation: another reason I'm interested in electrical engineering.
- With any job it doesn't hurt to be charismatic, and outgoing. Being a leader in this job field with a powerful tongue, will surely move you up the ladder faster.
- Electrical engineering is layered in many different skill levels. For example: an electrical engineer with a 2 year degree may get started at an hourly wage of eighteen dollars an hour. Versus, a doctor in electrical engineering (8 years of college) may get started at a salary of a hundred thousand dollars a year.
- Just because you have a degree in electrical engineering does not mean your gonna find a job immediately after graduation. Like any other profession, you want to insert yourself into an environment where you have the opportunity to get some real experience. Examples: Get a job, volunteer, or do an internship: with an electrician, at a music venue, for a computer company. Anything pertaining to your interests.
Dangerous
Electricity is the most dangerous aspect of being an electrical engineer. Depending upon what an engineer is working on: an electric shock is deathly.
Not to mention, engineers have to be weary of chemical burns and battery explosions.
The most important part, always protect yourself when working on electric properties. Example: wear goggles, insulated shoes, gloves, and safe clothing.
