Given the current state of the jobs market, would the current Electrical Engineers still encourage new Engineering majors to select EE?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes, Electrical Engineering (EE) is a highly versatile and in-demand field with a wide range of career opportunities. It involves the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism, which are crucial components in modern technology and industries.
The job outlook for EE graduates is very promising. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for electrical engineers is projected to grow 5% from 2019 to 2029, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Graduates can find opportunities in industries such as telecommunications, power generation and distribution, manufacturing, and research and development.
In addition to strong math and science skills, EE graduates should have a good understanding of electrical circuits, electronics, and computer programming. They should also possess critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, as well as the ability to work in a team and communicate effectively.
While a solid foundation in math and science is important for studying EE, it is not the only factor that determines success in this field. With dedication and hard work, students can build their knowledge and skills in these subjects as they progress through their degree program.
Some of the current trends in EE include the development of renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind power, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G wireless technology, and advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Students studying EE can expect to learn about these emerging technologies and how they can be applied in various industries.
