Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of


electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems,
communications systems, or power generation equipment. Electrical
engineers also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft.

Electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment, including


broadcast and communications systems, such as portable music players and
Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. Many also work in areas closely
related to computer hardware.

Duties

Electrical engineers typically do the following:

 Design new ways to use electrical power to develop or improve


products
 Perform detailed calculations to develop manufacturing, construction,
and installation standards and specifications
 Direct the manufacture, installation, and testing of electrical equipment
to ensure that products meet specifications and codes
 Investigate complaints from customers or the public, evaluate problems,
and recommend solutions
 Work with project managers on production efforts to ensure that projects
are completed satisfactorily, on time, and within budget

Electronics engineers typically do the following:

 Design electronic components, software, products, or systems for


commercial, industrial, medical, military, or scientific applications
 Analyze customer needs and determine the requirements, capacity, and
cost for developing an electrical system plan
 Develop maintenance and testing procedures for electronic components
and equipment
 Evaluate systems and recommend design modifications or equipment
repair
 Inspect electronic equipment, instruments, and systems to make sure
they meet safety standards and applicable regulations
 Plan and develop applications and modifications for electronic
properties used in parts and systems in order to improve technical
performance

Electronics engineers who work for the federal government research, develop,
and evaluate electronic devices used in a variety of areas, such as aviation,
computing, transportation, and manufacturing. They work on federal electronic
devices and systems, including satellites, flight systems, radar and sonar
systems, and communications systems.

The work of electrical engineers and electronics engineers is often similar.


Both use engineering and design software and equipment to do engineering
tasks. Both types of engineers also must work with other engineers to discuss
existing products and possibilities for engineering projects.

Engineers whose work is related exclusively to computer hardware are


considered computer hardware engineers.
