The path for most electrical engineers is not an easy one. So before deciding upon this as your career choice, it’s advisable to spend some time thinking about if this is what you really want to do. Assess your skills and temperament and work out if it’s something you really have a desire to pursue. If you do this then following the path to becoming a fully qualified electrical engineer will be made that much easier.

Step 1. Finish your studies; make sure you graduate from high school with good grades in a variety of subjects. Make sure you have a fallback option, if your studies at college don’t go to how you had planned.

Step 2. Apply to colleges that are renowned for offering good programs to engineering, science and technology students. Look at the schools admission policies, given track record in terms of student passes and if possible visit the college to see if you would be happy studying there.

Step 3. Whilst in college, apply for summer internships that will offer you relevant experience for your chosen career path. Apply to not just the big engineering firms, but to some of the smaller guys too. At the end of the day, you need to make your résumé stand out from the crowd.

Step 4. Apply early for graduate jobs, as the saying goes the earlier the better. Prepare everything from your résumé to honing in on your interview skills and techniques.

Step 5. Dress for success. When the interview day finally looms, always make sure that you are dressed to impress. Prepare yourself well, be confident (but not over confident) and think about the questions posed to you carefully. Also, it’s worth being prepared for any mathematical and/or problem solving questions or tasks they could throw at you.

Becoming an electrical engineer can be both challenging, but as equally rewarding as it is challenging. By working out from the beginning, if it’s something you have the desire and motivation to succeed in, you will ensure that your time studying and the work experience you gain is not wasted.

Are electrical engineers qualified to perform electrical installations?

It depends on the regulations in your country. For example it is a likely requirement that electrical installations must be installed and maintained by qualified electricians. These electricians would have served and apprenticeship under journeymen electricians, as well as acquiring the appropriate qualifications in a technical college. It's unlikely (but not impossible) that a qualified engineer would have undergone this sort of training and, so, would be unqualified to work as an electrician.In general, electrical engineers don't have the trade skills of electricians, and would work on the design side of an electrical installation, while electricians would perform the installation work and testing.Of course, some engineers may have gone on to qualify as an engineer after having trained and worked as an electrician, in which case they would indeed be qualified to perform work on an electrical installation.
