Electrical Engineering

COURSE BACKGROUND

Electrical engineers are involved in the generation, installation, distribution, and usage of electricity via electrically-operated equipment such as generators, stoves, industrial and domestic installation.

Overall, electrical engineers are in demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, electrical engineer jobs are projected to grow by 9% in the coming years. There is always a need for entry-level engineers as older ones leave the field. This course will give you a definite advantage over other candidates if you want to work in this field.
