Electrical engineers are trained to develop strong critical thinking and problem solving skills. These skills are applied to situations that require the distribution of electrical signals from one point to another. In your coursework, you will be educated and trained in these types of signals:

• wireless communication signals that send conversations from one cell phone to another
• high voltage signals that transfer energy from power plants to homes and businesses
• analog signals that send the output of an electric guitar to an amplifier
• digital logic signals that send data to memory storage elements in computers
• Essentially, any task that involves using electricity to deliver power, transfer information, or control the operation of a device or system can require the expertise of an electrical engineer.
