In summary, a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering is a doctoral degree that focuses on advanced study and research in the field of electrical engineering. It typically takes 4-7 years to complete and requires a dissertation or thesis based on original research. Graduates of a Ph.D. program in Electrical Engineering are prepared for careers in academia, research and development, or high-level positions in engineering industries. The program covers a broad range of topics, including circuit analysis, power systems, digital signal processing, and control systems, equipping students with advanced knowledge and skills in these areas. Candidates for a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering must hold a bachelor's and master's degree in a related field and have a strong academic background in mathematics and science.

I'm entering teaching at this stage of my career (I have a clear credential in career technical Education--but subbing at the moment as many). I had about a 35-year career in industry with positions of Sr. Scientist/Engineer in research, development, and a bit of production in such places as Raytheon (legacy Hughes Aircraft), (former) Telasic Communications, Boeing Satellite Center, and JPL (Caltech/NASA). My area of EE was semiconductor/device physics as well as circuits--so my background is really applied physics as much as electrical engineering.
