Careers in Electrical Engineering

• Areas

Microelectronics Controls Communications Signal processing Power systems Electromagnetics

• Career Tracks

Entry level – design, development, support, field, marketing Long-term – senior engineer, managers, executives

Careers in EE, CS, CE

ENTREPRENEUR

• A few EECS Entrepreneurs
• Paul Allen
• Co-founder, Microsoft
• Venture capitalist
• C. Gus Grant
• Founder of Sprint
• Ed Schweitzer
• Founder of SEL
• Harold Frank
• Founder of Applied

Magnetics Corporation

Misconceptions

• Computer Engineering is only about building digital

circuits

Digital circuits are only part of the picture

• CE is also about software development for operating systems and

device drivers, design of embedded systems (computer brains for cars, airplanes, refrigerators, etc.) and the design of future computer systems

• Electrical Engineering is an old-fashioned, traditional

field

Wireless and RF technology are changing the way we live Micro and nano robots are revolutionizing surgical procedures Smart signal processing technology is responsible for the development of HDTV and broadband Internet

Misconceptions (cont.)

• Computer Science is about creating web pages

CS education is about problem solving and service provision

• Computer Science is just programming

There’s a lot more to a CS degree than programming

• Graphic design, virtual reality, sensor networks, large scale

systems (design of Boeing 7E7), and movie making

• EE, CS, and CE jobs are being out-sourced and
• ff-shored

Outsourcing is changing the nature of jobs, not eliminating them

Set Yourself Up for Success

• Take classes in Math, Calculus, Physics, Electrical Engineering,

and Computer Science (especially programming). Having a sound background in these areas is very important for a career in Engineering

• Recognize the importance of foundation classes during your first

two years – they are valuable preparation for core classes and are not intended to be filters

• Written and oral communications skills are vital for success in the

work world – and will be critical in gaining internships and job offers

• Learn how to manage your time, especially during your freshman

and sophomore years

• Don’t be timid about seeking help! Faculty, TAs, and tutoring

services are available to help you succeed
