Hello,
I would like to know everyone's opinion (preferably from those with hiring or first hand experience) regarding my chances of employment as an electrical engineer in the power industry, primarily with electric utility companies.
I received my B.Sc. in Physics from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan and I am finishing the last semester of my M.Sc. Electrical Power Engineering degree from RWTH Aachen University located in Aachen, Germany.
My worry is that it will be difficult finding a job because I haven't graduated from an accredited ABET degree engineering program. I'm also worried employers will look down or be weary about my degree from abroad, even though it is a highly regarded University here in Germany and Europe.
I currently have about two years previous internship experience in electrical engineering, however not specifically in the power industry. I am now applying for internship and entry-level positions.
I would appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. Thanks.
