Electrical/Electronics Engineering

Electrical and electronics engineers work with some of the most high-tech equipment in the world. They design electronic devices and systems for everything from airplanes to laptops. Electrical engineering involves building and testing electronics systems, wiring, lighting, and more; the production and delivery of electricity; and modern concepts like robotics, nanotechnology (controlling matter at the atomic and molecular level), and microelectrics (very small electrical components).

A degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering prepares you for the following Industries: Aerospace, automotive, energy, IT and telecommunications;
