Can electrical/electronic engineering graduates work in semiconductors, communications, or robotics?
Yes. The foundations studied in electrical and electronic engineering—such as circuits, electromagnetics, electronic devices, control, and information—can lead to work in semiconductors, communications, and robotics. The route depends on the program and laboratory chosen, practical and programming skills, and employers’ recruitment requirements.
Key points
- Semiconductor work may use knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and manufacturing processes.
- Communications work may involve communication circuits, signal processing, wireless systems, and networks.
- Robotics work may draw on control, embedded systems, sensors, motors, and power-related knowledge.
Things to check
- Courses, research areas, and hiring requirements vary by university, faculty, program, and employer, so check official curriculum information and job or recruitment requirements.
