  • Passionate about learning

How do Electrical Engineers contribute to making the world a better place?

Electrical engineers have provided us with technology. Without them, we would be living in the 1800s, with no phones, no lighting, no computers, and no electricity. They have made it easier to connect with people, including those living far away, and it has given us more time with lights. Lights have allowed people to work, eat, and live after the sun goes down.
