Electrical Engineering Career Test

By /

Electrical engineering is one of those fields where most people only see the surface, plug sockets, light switches, phone chargers, without ever thinking about the engineering behind it. But the discipline stretches from the power stations and networks that keep entire countries running, to the tiny chips inside medical devices, to the software that helps a smart thermostat respond when you walk into a room. Some electrical engineers spend their days designing the systems that charge electric cars, others make sure devices do not interfere with each other’s signals, and others write the code that runs inside hardware.

A few minutes is all it takes to find out where electrical engineering could take you.
