What type of EE are you trying to be? Comment below! Thank you 1% Nation, please leave a like to help the video <3 love you. Ask me any engineering question in the comments - I respond to 100% of them!!! Thanks again!

Can you do eletrical engineering without physics?🧎‍♂️

Power engineering consultant here. I make about 3x the median household income where I live. Plus, I enjoy my job. It's fun and fulfilling. There is plenty of demand for electrical engineers. A solid career choice.

Intelligent great

What best electrical engineering textbooks that contains lots of
rigor mathematics or higher mathematics

Thank you

I obtained my EE degree and now I build, test, launch, and operate earth orbiting spacecraft and Deep space science probes.
I am technically a "Spacecraft Integration and Test Engineer" at Ball Aerospace (soon to be BAE Aerospace)

Circuit designers definitely

Thank you for the information!

I got my BSEE in 1964 and it certainly was important in easing my way through life. After a number of different jobs, further education and passing the PE exams, the final 25+ years were spent as a self employed consulting engineer, working primarily for architects designing building electrical systems - just about the lowest tech work in the EE world. And I loved it. Primarily because self employment itself is a real hoot. I was comfortable but could have made more money if I were a better businessman, but I didn't care. The most rewarding result was when my son studied EE and eventually got his PhD.

any idea what specific classes are necessary or what you need to take in collage to get a good degree for electrical engineering? how far should i take that degree, and then how much will it end up costing as a ballpark estimate?

Product. Analog/digital control or
communication I just don’t know which? I have one semester left to choose.

I'm interested in smart phone and watch engineering.
Also in the young engineering team

The easiest one

I've just completed my electrical and electronics engineering and now i am doing a course on electrical system design engineer
And i wanted to know is it any good ?

This is wholesome heaven

You takings about dream land which this is will never happen.......in real life is way more cruel than you ever think....i as electrical engineering didn't even have 20$ salary at least so please don't anger me with this nonsense fairy tail about electrical engineering luxury.

i dont get it, how can an electrical engineer work as a programmer? isnt electrical engineer all about hardware?

Thanks man video really helped

What up y’all! I'm seeking advice on finding job opportunities after working as an electrical technician for 3.5 years. During my time in this role, I gained extensive experience in various tasks, including building control panels, setting up instrumentation, and working with PLC and hydraulic systems. I also developed proficiency in building submittal, AutoCad Electrical, Inventor, and Python programming.

To further my career prospects, I completed my Associates degree in Engineering Technology this year and am now enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering at a university. My ultimate goal is to become a licensed Professional Engineer (PE).

I would be grateful for any advice, suggestions, or insights on how I can successfully navigate this transition and find a job that aligns with my aspirations, allowing me to apply my electrical engineering knowledge effectively. Thank you all for your valuable input!

Hey, thanks for the video Jake. I had a question. How easy is it for electrical engineers to switch industries within electrical engineering? I’m working as an electrical designer in the AEC industry and wondering what I’m doing now can translate to other career paths. Thanks again for everything you do!

I've been in the industry about 13 years now. I graduated with an Electronics Engineering Technologies degree. The coursework was very difficult for me but I'm glad I stuck through it. My work experience is in the electronic component business. I started as a sales engineer for a company that designed and manufactured film capacitors. Since then I've worked my way up switching jobs a few times and now am a Product Marketing Manager for quartz crystal oscillators at a market leading publicly traded company. I perform basically the same job duties as with my first sales engineer job, just a fancier title and bigger organization. I would suggest the sales/business side of engineering if you don't feel too confident designing circuits or programming. Typically companies only hire those with engineering backgrounds for these type of technical sales and marketing jobs and it's quite lucrative.

Thanks for the video! I’m interested in going back to school for electrical engineering. What’s the math like in these jobs? Is it as demanding as it is in school? Are there a lot of math problems ee’s run into that can’t be aided by a computer or calculator to check answers?

I'm pretty sure you didn't properly separate electronic engineering from electrical engineering

Is there an update for this video??

Hi! I'm an Electrical Engineering Grad Student who did an Applied Physics Major and Math Minor in Undergrad. I have a lot of theoretical knowledge and have a decent understanding of device physics now because of some of the EE classes I took in Undergrad and Grad school. I'm trying to figure out what kind of skills I should focus on as someone with all of this theoretical knowledge. I have an understanding of semiconductor bandgaps, device manufacturing and design, a bit of knowledge in semiconductor processing, spintronics, and devices and sensors, as well as some baseline knowledge of Circuits/Electronics and Signal Analysis.

Here i am unemployed for 6 months . Hopefully will get one .😢

I have a small doubt ,which country is better to complete masters in electrical engineering and which course

Nah, that would be software engineering son.
Don't delude yourself!

I dont think EE is good i have done diploma in EE and i am unable to find electrical company mostly companies are of mechanical there is more scope in designing and growth very less vomapny for electrical EE only have maintenance field thats it electrician kind of job i am frustrated after dling it plz u tell me how its god

would this apply to COE as well?

EE here... I said goodbye to working for other people and went into business for myself. I design and build guitar effects pedals. I made the leap about 3 years ago and couldn't be happier!

Thanks! I know this is kind of old by now, but still helpful. These are all based on the median, so how about the other side? What are the less paying jobs? Are they mostly the same, but with less experience or different jobs altogether?

For those who don't know, the closer you get to FAANG and Big Tech, the higher the salary. Consumer eletronics, smartphone and server chips are where the real money are. Bay Area, Seattle, Austin. Aim high brothers.

What would the salaries of bio-electrical engineers be?

Can also work in construction, with the electrical design of construction projects.

EE here. A good note is that a lot of EE jobs are location dependent. A good chunk of jobs you will be a cog in large bureaucracies where you have many levels of oversight. There are jobs where you can be more independent in engineering firms or R&D departments of larger non-tech companies. These groups normally focus on MEs with a tolken EE.
In my experience as an automation EE in MN, most of the job opportunities were for either ME or EE with Solid Works experience.

A machine learning engineering role is not a likely outcome for an EE. Folks with a CS degree are much better suited.

Do EE make more than software engineers??

I make 90 as an electrician/maintenance. I cant do calculus and shit. I like to drink too. Im surprised engineers make that little, its kind of average. I am in the PNW but still

While i would never want to discourage anyone on this career path it is important to realize how few are making these kinds of salaries. I’m an electrician and have worked alongside many engineers at this point. As an electrician I’m making 6 figures, great benefits, work truck, phone, tools, etc.. While it’s unfortunate, the reality of the situation is that the world needs more people capable of installing these systems rather than designing them. It takes 2 or 3 engineers to design a new packing line for example but it takes 10+ electricians to install it. Engineering jobs are outnumbered by engineers 10 fold. For the complexity of your job, the benefits and compensation simply aren’t lucrative enough.

u didnt mention ppl ship design, ppl who work for qualcom, TSMC

I am surprised semiconductor engineer is not on the list considering it is at the top of the electronics value chain.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it is going to be really difficult to become a machine learning engineer with an EE degree without any relevant experience and some luck. You're competing with CS majors who have at least a masters or more likely a PhD in some sort of machine learning related field. How do I know this? I've experienced this. I did my BS in EE and my MS in CS with a ML focus, yet it's still difficult to find junior ML opportunities where I stand some chance. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it will definitely require more effort than the other EE jobs listed in this video.

As an architect that's doing a PHD in EE, i sorely regret not actually graduating in the field. There's a much broader spectrum of careers for you in EE than in many other fields

what are your thoughts about sales engineer

I am jobless

Can you please direct me to a list of Salaries in CA for Electrical Engineers for Construction\Architecture projects. Also Electrical Engineering Drafters, if possible. Thank you!!

You should do wastewater engineer, I’ve heard from a few civil engineers who switched to that and made significantly more money mainly because no one else wants to do that job.. lol

Iam Confused between Electrical Engineering && Computer Fields. Which will be best??????

I have some niche interests. What should an EE student study if they want to work in electronic warfare? As in aerospace/defense with jamming and other EM spectrum weapons/effects.

Thx ya helping me to learn English ! Now I understand it & I can speak it. 😮
