ELECTRICAL ENGINEER WORK IS SIMILAR TO A REPAIRING ELECTRICIAN?

Hello Shubham,

Responsibilities of Electrical Engineers vs. Electricians

Electrical engineers are
responsible for creating products that operate on electricity. They can be
involved with everything from designing a new product to determining how to
revise a design plan for an existing product. They may also oversee the installation
of products they design. Electricians install electrical systems and the wiring
that connects them to a power source. While they ensure the electrical systems
they install work properly they do not create those electrical systems; that's
what electrical engineers do. Electricians also repair existing electrical
systems that are outdated or damaged.

Electrical
Engineers

Electrical
engineers produce electrical equipment. They are involved with all stages of
the production of this type of equipment and use a combination of design and
technical skills in their work. The most common fields of study for electrical
engineers are electrical or electronics engineering and they are required to
have a bachelor's degree. A Professional Engineer (PE) license may be needed to
pursue managerial roles but is not required for entry-level work in this field.
It's common for electrical engineers to work in power production, research and
manufacturing. They may produce things such as electric motors or generators.

Job
responsibilities of an electrical engineer include:

·
Using computer design software to produce product design plans

·
Evaluating existing products

·
Identifying ways to improve the design or production of existing
products

·
Assessing consumer complaints about products

·
Overseeing product manufacturing

·
Evaluate products to ensure they operate properly

Electricians

Electricians
ensure that the electrical systems in houses, buildings and outdoor areas are
installed and work properly. It's possible to start out in this field with a
high school diploma or GED and learn on the job through an apprenticeship
program. Once a combination of apprenticeship hours and classroom training is
complete or an electrician graduates from technical school, they can earn their
electrician's license; the specific requirements for an electrician's license
may vary from state to state so it's important to check local training
requirements for this career. Electricians often travel to work sites and it's
common for them to work evenings and weekends.

Job
responsibilities of an electrician include:

·
Wiring houses and buildings

·
Connecting electrical systems to the power supply

·
Inspecting existing wiring and electrical systems

·
Locating electrical issues and conducting repairs

·
Following blueprints and building codes when installing systems

·
Operating power tools
