• Electrical engineering is concerned with electrical devices, circuits and systems. Traditionally, electrical engineers have specialized in areas such as power generation and transmission, electrical machinery, electronics, communication, control and circuit design. In the past several decades, this field has expanded considerably with the development of the transistor, integrated circuits and microelectronics, the laser and the digital computer. Many electrical engineers now work in new areas such as quantum electronics (microelectronics), quantum optics (lasers) and computer engineering

• Starting salaries for engineers with bachelor’s degrees are significantly higher than starting salaries for bachelor’s degrees in other fields. Companies will need employees with engineering knowledge to help them increase productivity and optimise their manufacturing processes, thus creating many fruitful opportunities for engineering graduates – still more will be needed to build and improve new roads, bridges, water and pollution control systems and other public facilities.

• UK Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) recently released figures that prove that engineering graduates are amongst those who are more likely to start their careers on higher salaries - earning £18 000 pa six months after graduation in comparison to the median of £15 000 pa of all other students. Additionally the report emphasises that engineering students rank amongst those more likely to find permanent employment on leaving university at 83 % in contrast to 64 % for all graduates.
• Did you know that engineers save more lives than doctors in the early stages of drought and earthquake disasters, by reconnecting water supplies, thus avoiding the spread of disease? And had you ever wondered who creates and who maintains the technology which doctors use to save lives in our hospitals every day of the year?

  Career Opportunities In Electrical Engineering
  Electrical engineers can find work wherever there are electrical systems that need development, testing or maintenance. This means that electrical engineers are needed wherever anything that has an electric motor is manufactured and wherever electrical wiring is required: automobile plants, aircraft manufacturing, navigation systems companies, power companies and construction companies.

  Earning Potential For Electrical Engineering Careers
  Electrical engineers are among the highest paid of the engineering disciplines. The median salary for an electrical engineer in 2006 was $75,930 and some electrical engineers made over $115,000. Electronics engineers, who focus on the workings of specific electronic devices, enjoyed a median income of $81,500 and a top salary of nearly $120,000
• 
  Master of Engineering In Electrical Engineering
  Master of Engineering degrees in electrical engineering similarly qualify candidates for most electrical engineering positions. Those pursuing this degree may design a program with a focus on a specific electrical engineering concentration such as communication, control and signal processing, devices, systems and circuits, electrodynamics or bioelectrical engineering.
