Why Is Electrical and Electronics Engineering a Job of Tomorrow?
Technology has pervaded every aspect of modern life. It has largely replaced cash with credit cards that can draw funds electronically from bank accounts, replaced beepers with handheld mobile phones that can not only instantly connect callers, but also act as a tiny web browser and gaming system, and pushed globalization into overdrive through the World Wide Web. Many companies and individuals are taking advantage of the technological boom, relying more and more on electronic information and processing to conduct business as well as day-to-day activities more than ever before. With so much riding on the efficiency and security of technology, it is little surprise that electrical and electronics engineers are in high demand. Employment opportunities for electrical and electronics engineers are expected to grow four percent by 2016, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Electrical and electronics engineers make an average salary of $81,050 annually.
