Why Electrical Engineering?
Society has changed. This is also associated with a not to be overlooked further development of electrical engineering.
The inexorable wave of information technology and other high-tech industries has resulted in serious changes in the profession of electrical engineer. In addition to traditional occupational fields such as energy technology, some sectors such as mechatronics, control and automation technology and information technology have gained drastically in importance.
It was electrical engineers who laid the foundations for the modern communication society with the Internet, mobile phones and multimedia technology. Nowadays, they are indispensable as "pointers" in the global village and are in close contact with colleagues from all over the world.
This international work requires the ability to work in a team as well as a communicative disposition and analytical thinking. The training at the TU Braunschweig not only teaches the basic knowledge of electrical engineering but also these "soft skills".
Thus, the areas of application for the modern graduate are considerably more flexible than before. Mobility is not a must, but if you are personally interested, you can combine your work with travelling to distant countries.
In addition, the demand for engineers has never been greater, not only in the traditional field of research and development, but also in management, management consulting and specialist journalism. The industry is almost desperately looking for junior staff.
That's why students of electrical engineering are fit for the future!
In this interview, our Bachelor's graduate Julius Ritter describes why he - and perhaps you too - are excited about studying electrical engineering
