Abstract
This project would show all the basic background of an electrical engineer. The fundamentals like job
conditions,classes in college to take,and the salary being earned. The results that were accomplished in
the project and that were found in the research. We found out where there is demand for the job and what
were the common conditions an electrical engineer would be working under. In this project you will find
some fundamental requirements and objectives needed to become and how life is for an electrical
engineer.

Introduction
The purpose of this activity is to organize 5 things that are essential to someone who is or could be
studying for electric/electronics engineering. In this project it will describe the job and everything an
electronics engineer could do and how they work on a daily basis. The demand for the job in certain
areas, where is it more acceptable where is it more comfortable to work in. How much would you get paid
in different areas in the U.S. Also the salary v.s the education of the job, in which you will be working as
an electric/electronics engineer and how it suit your needs, will the salary be enough to maintain you
where you are currently living at or future places. Whether it is the same to live in one place or another
and have the same expenses. What you should be doing to prepare for your future. All the educational
needs and what you need to learn to able to be certified to be an engineer.

Background
Job description
Electrical engineers do many projects like design, and check electrical systems . They work on Electrical
motors,radar and gpss,communication systems,and generators that can generate power IELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING. Electronics engineer design and develop things that can help us communicate around
the world, and make many jobs or necessities easier for people such as transportation vehicles and
communication phones. . From portable music players,to phones,tablets and gps software
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERINGthey use customer reviews to improve the product and make it more
affordable.They work primarily on researching and making technology better. They are responsible for all
the technology that has to do with electricity, without them there wouldn't be many of the things that we
use. They are one of the types of engineers that have shaped the past and are responsible for changing
the future like Thomas Edison with the light bulb,and making many of our electronics better. Although
they may not invent something new they do improve the ideas of other engineers. They can work for
many companies such as, Samsung, Apple, Dell,Microsoft, and Sony. The annual average salary is about
95,000. Engineering is one of the biggest growing careers.PROSPECTS

Demand
Electrical engineers are all over the world changing everything everywhere. Mostly anything poeple see
to phones, TVs, radios or any kind of electronic device has been touched or seen by an electrical
engineer. Electrical engineers are needed everywhere because its one of the fundamental keys for
making objects work. The demand for Electrical/Electronics engineer is growing more every year about 2
as much per year. With technology expanding and growing more every year there is the need for more
engineers to help keep up with the technology. Electronics engineers also work with many other types of
engineers because of the experience need to produce an idea.. Jobs you could be in would be helping a
mechanical engineer with the electric wires of a motor or car an architect to help get the house with lights
and working outlets. There is many places where they could be needed.Most engineers need help from
electrical or electronics engineer to get their job done.FORBES

Salary v.s Education

In engineering the salary is very determined by the education status of the engineer. The more the person
is educated the higher the chance of getting a job and getting a decent salary. The more years of
experience also helps. Location of education vs location of the job also impacts the engineer, if educated
in Austin an Austin company would contract you more than an arizona engineer. In the other hand if the
education was done in Austin and the engineer went looking for a job in Arizona he won't be as lucky to
get a job because he doesn't have experience in that area. Education is very important in determining
your salary in any job but especially in engineering. The engineer must be really skilled in time
management, mathematics, statistics and real world situation.

SALARY

Classes to take
In engineering there are many classes that must be taken before becoming a certified engineer. One of
the major subjects that must be master and take is mathematics such as calculus,statistics, and
geometry. An engineer must also take technical classes like computing and hands on shop work.. He
must take electric classes mechanical classes and special engineering math classes. He must take
training class to get ready for the real world and use his skills he has learned. An engineer must be able
to write correctly so he can express and show others his ideas or plans. He needs to have confidence to
talk to a group of people thats why he takes a type of communications class. Physics 1,2 must be taken
to be able to apply the physics into the projects worked on.

Job conditions
Engineers work in many fields some work indoors in computers managing a group/team.While others do
outdoors work looking at a project being done somewhere outside.Electrical/Electronics engineers mostly
work inside with wiring or building something that may work.Electric engineers may work inside a house
or building making all the electricity components work inside of it.

Results
results about being able to find in what kind of conditions,requirements needed to be an engineer. Also
finding out what are the processes of becoming an electronic engineer, and what they develope. The
level of education required and where can they get their jobs, and how much would they make in yearly
income. This project could improve by giving more data on the work and money going into engineering
projects that would keep going towards the future. How insured are you in keeping your job for many
years to come.This project in the future can help people determine if they like the type of engineering
being presented by the project.The purpose of this project was to show job description,
salary,conditions,educational level needed all this essential things could help someone who is or will be
studying engineering.

Conclusion
What was learned in this project was many essential requirements needed to become an
electric/electronics engineer. The level of education needed, what classes are taken to become a certified
engineer and the special classes.Salary earned compared to the different academic level, the higher the
educational level or more years in college the more income. The demand for electrical engineers in the
country, and learned that it is a very demanding profession. Electrical engineers are needed everywhere
because electricity is needed in many places everyday. We also learned the job condition of the engineer
and where they work at. How much physical work do they do and daily life routine.
