Electrical engineers work with electrical systems, designing, developing and testing them. This can include communication, radar and navigation. These engineers work on all kinds of systems from the small, such as household appliances, electric motors and microchips, to the large, including power generation equipment, automobiles and aircrafts. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest fields in engineering and one of the most populated. Mechanical engineering is the study of objects and systems in action. Unlike electrical engineering, it focuses on the design and testing of systems that convert or transform energy. These engineers need a strong understanding of fluid dynamics, movement, force, inertia, and materials and their physical properties. They need to have mastered applied creativity and problem-solving, as well as recent innovations in materials, technology and tools.
