What is electrical engineering?

Electrical engineering is omnipresent in our everyday lives. It is required for the motor of a washing machine as well as the generator of a power station or the microchip of a computer. We use electrical engineering without a second thought when, for example, we make a call on a mobile phone or switch on a television.

Electrical engineering is a technology of the future that influences almost every aspect of our private lives. Thanks to advances in microelectronics, this key technology is permeating almost all sectors of the economy and the service industry. Electrical engineering is the foundation and driving force behind the development of the global information society.

Electrical engineering significantly contributes to the technical advancement of our economy, to securing our prosperity, to improving our environmental conditions, and saving resources.

Graduates in electrical engineering are in demand for research, development, production, marketing, and service roles across virtually the entire industrial sector, in service companies, and in the public sector. They are often entrusted with management responsibilities after a short time. From energy transition and electromobility to artificial intelligence: virtually no current societal issue can be tackled without experts in electrical engineering. The resulting growing demand for electrical engineers and the general shortage of skilled workers in STEM professions opens up excellent career prospects.
