What is the is the difference between those two? I know what electrical engineers do , but what about electrical technology. Can someone list some key differences, and how much different is the salarys between these two.
Electrical Engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electromagnetism, and electronics. It focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of electrical systems and components such as generators, motors, and circuits.
While Electrical Engineering focuses on the theory and principles behind electrical systems, Electrical Technology is more practical and hands-on. Electrical Technology primarily deals with the installation, operation, and maintenance of electrical equipment and systems.
Yes, an Electrical Engineer can work in the field of Electrical Technology. However, they may need additional training and experience to work with hands-on tasks and equipment.
Electrical Engineers can work in a variety of industries, including power generation, telecommunications, and electronics. They can hold positions such as design engineer, project manager, or research scientist. Electrical Technologists, on the other hand, can work in fields such as construction, manufacturing, and maintenance, and may have job titles like technician, installer, or maintenance engineer.
Yes, there is a difference in the education and training required for these two fields. Electrical Engineers typically need a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, which includes theoretical and practical coursework. Electrical Technologists, on the other hand, may only need a two-year associate degree or vocational training to enter the field.
