Is Electrical Engineering worth studying?

Change is very real in any field of science. New discoveries always overturn old ways of thinking. Hey, Pluto was deemed a planet till very recently! Some things have been fairly constant in EE since the 1800s - Ohms law, laws of electromagnetism, etc. The entire edifice of EE - whether you are talking about communication, VLSI, power, electronics, etc., is built upon these, and a solid foundation of unshakeable mathematics. It will be your job as an EE to further the progress of science and technology by investigating the limits of performance of today's devices, and proposing new theories to supplement existing ones to make better devices. Change? It is a way of life. If you can't deal with it, then theology is probably a good choice for study.

Get in touch with the relevant Professional Institution for details of their qualifications and what courses lead to them. Initially, look up their web sites! For Electrcal Engineering, there is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Http://www.ieee.org), which is international and has national sections. For computing, in the United Kingdom where I live there is the British Computer Society (http://www.bcs.org), and there will be an equivalent in most overseas countries.\n\nAgain in the United Kingdom, the Open University is a leading provider of on-line courses (Http://www.open.ac.uk)\n\nThere are limits to the extent you can study Electrical/Computer Engineering on-line because you will need to do practical work to get a worthwhile qualification.

Yes, but two things are very important to make this happen, and they are:\n\n1) You must be decently smart to be an electrical engineer.\n\n2) Out of the billions of people on the planet Earth, you must be one of the top 150 basketball players among these humans. \n\nMy advice: Forget basketball, concentrate on math.

ieee is for all electrical engineers and other engineers who are interested in Electrical Engineering. It is a very expensive proposition unless you are a student member or an American working Engineer. Countries with poor purchasing power the cost of joining is very high. In the 80's the annual fees was around $300. I was a member but as a student for two years which used to cost only $12. There are lot of advantages like credit card referall when you graduate, rent a car discounts and whole lot of other benifits for members and publication priority.

First off your majoring in Eletrical engineering. You need to know how to solder. I would HIGHLY recommend you learn it. Go down to radio shack pick up a 4 dallor soldering iron and some solder.  And a few project boards and some wire. and Start practicing. I had to learn to solder because there was things I always needed to fix. Growing up learned it from my dad growning up and he went to college for eletrical engineering. My mom even knows how to solder and she didn't go to college. Paying someone to do it for you is not going to teach you how to do it.

I don't know of a school that offers electronic engineering, but if you want a degree in electric engineering you'll have to take physics, calculus, computer science, more physics, and even more computer science.

Definitely.  Unless you're academically inclined and college bound, an apprenticeship is ideal.  Make sure that it is training program that is trade union approved and that you are working under a good "master": eg.  good "master electrician," or "master plumber."  Licensed tradesmen and tradeswomen earn excellent money, and it is rather difficult to 'offshore' these jobs!  Another advantage--you won't have to pay a fortune when you hire an electrcian:-) Often you can take classes through adult education.  Good luck.

If you want to create technology, an Electrical Engineer is probably best.

If I understand your question correctly, this is a standard 3rd year course in most Canadian Universities offering a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering.

The number of electrical engineer jobs are plentiful depending on location.  From 2001-2004, there was a decrease in job availabilities for everyone.  Engineering companies were one of the hardest hit because of the dot-com bust.  \n\nPower engineering - also called power systems engineering, mostly handle designing and building power plants and power distribution.  Engineering consulting firms that build power generation plants hire power engineers.  Also designing power wiring for buildings.  EEs in this field are required to have their professional engineering liscense to be able to sign off before to be able approved to build anything by the state.  Power plants also hire power engineers to handle logistics and power distribution.\n\nElectronics engineer - designing and test electronics\n\nOptics engineer - designing and test IR, laser, radar, etc.\n\nRobotics - self explanatory\n\nBioengineering - a new branch of EE, designing and test medical devices.  I.e. artificial heart, lasers used for surgeries, different types of meters\n\nThe new rage: quantum dots, nanotechnology and biotech engineering\n\nPros: \n1 - It is a lot of fun and interesting.  \n2 - I get to tinker and explore something different everyday.\n3 - The pay is excellent.  Starting pay in my area varies from 57K-65K for BS in EE, 62K-75K for MS with less than 2 years experience.\n4 - The benefits are great.  Companies value their engineers a lot.  They will do anything to keep you from leaving, including giving 6 digit bonuses and days off.  \n\nCons:\n1 - Very stressful field.  When trying to meet a deadline, it is not uncommon to work 12-16 hours a day without overtime. (I even worked 28+ hours straight once)\n2 - Getting that degree took a lot of hard work and sacrifices.\n3 - Encounter useless arrogant MIT PhD graduate blowhards\n4 - Encounter sexist angry 70 year old engineers - one calls me "Hey you, girl, whatever your name is, come here!"

EEE can mean Electronic and Electrical Engineering course.  See source.

This is pretty basic algebra and if you are in an electrical certification program or any other program for that mater you may want to consider taking some math courses before you try to continue.  I'm not saying that you can't nuc your way through it, but it will be allot easier on you if you take a step back and strengthen your math skills before tackling an electrician course.

Electrical/Computer engineering does.

Electrical engineering is the way to go and you will have to study lots of mathematics that is true for chemical engineering as well . If you like chemistry better go for chemical.All depends on your interest .You wouldn't like doing 8 hours daily a thing you have no interest in.If you go for MS and higher then I don't think there's much difference in career prospects.

In school,\n          if you can take maths-biology group or computer science group(involving physics,maths& chemistry).\nIn college,\n           you can opt electrical & electronics for becoming an electrical engineer.you can opt mechanical engineering for become an mechanical engineer.

I'd start by enrolling in/applying to a university that offers a EE program.  After, take the required classes, and if you do well enough they'll grant you a degree.
