Electrical engineers typically possess an academic degree with a major in 1 … engineering. The length of study for such a degree is usually four or five years and the completed degree may be designated as a 2 …of Engineering, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Applied Science depending upon the 3 …. The degree generally includes units covering 4 …, mathematics, computer science, project management and specific topics in electrical engineering. Initially such topics cover most, if not all, of the sub-disciplines of electrical engineering. Students then choose to 5 …in one or more sub-disciplines towards the end of the degree.

Some electrical engineers also choose to pursue a 6 … degree such as a Master of Engineering/Master of Science (MEng/MSc), a Master of Engineering Management, a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Engineering, an Engineering Doctorate (EngD), or an Engineer's degree. The Master and Engineer's degree may consist of either 7 …, coursework or a mixture of the two. The Doctor of Philosophy and Engineering Doctorate degrees consist of a 8 …research component and are often viewed as the 9 …point to academia. In the United Kingdom and various other European countries, the Master of Engineering is often considered an undergraduate degree of slightly longer 10 …than the Bachelor of Engineering.
