Electrical Engineering Degrees, Jobs and Scholarships
According to the Northwestern University McCormick School of Engineering, electrical engineering is a field that studies "solid-state devices, optics, signal processing, control, and communications that underlie much of the technology used in modern society." Graduates from Electrical Engineering degree prorams who use the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon programs to pay for this training may find careers in research, system design, consulting, university teaching, and sales.Recent Northwestern program graduates work for AT&T, SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, Goldman Sachs, and Boeing, among others. They are also accepted into graduate programs "at some of the most prestigious universities in the world, including MIT."
There are many reasons to pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering. As an electrical engineer, you might work to develop or improve products using electrical power, develop manufacturing, work with construction and installation standards and specifications for electrical products, evaluate electrical products, and more. You can find a job in many different work environments, from an office to a worksite to many different business locations.
