Occupations, industries and skills
In your degree you will have studied the latest theoretical, hardware and software skills and gained a comprehensive understanding of electrical and electronic principles. Electronic and Electrical Engineering combines technical, analytical, and practical skills including designing and testing circuit building blocks, computer programming and computer-aided design. Graduates from these courses develop many skills that make them attractive to prospective employers, including teamwork, project management, communication, and numeracy as well as the ability to use specialist knowledge creatively and innovatively to solve problems. These skills help electronic and electrical engineers to be in demand in other sectors, such as finance and management.
Industries
Electronic and Electrical Engineering (EEE) graduates find work in many areas, including the electronics, automotive, IT, gaming, telecoms, manufacturing, power, transport, utilities and construction industries. EEE graduates can also use their coding skills in finance and analytics. EEE graduates find work at the forefront of evolving technologies, and this can be in large established organisations but also in new, hitech start-ups so there is a wide range of possibilities open to you.
Occupations
By far the most common job title for EEE graduates is a variant of ‘engineer’, showcasing that the vast majority find work that fully utilises their technical expertise. Work with software and data is a common occupation, not surprising given the amount of computational content within these courses. These skills are also well used when EEE graduates find work in finance or communications so there are many opportunities outside engineering too.
