Electrical engineering technicians have jobs in a number of industries in the workforce. The design, development, testing, and manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment are a few of the jobs that electrical engineering careers might provide. These specialized technicians also evaluate, diagnose, and/or repair electrical equipment. Some might apply electronic theory in their electrical engineering careers. In a manufacturing setting, an electrical engineering technician might be found in quality control where he or she checks products, performs testing, and collects data.
About 33 percent of all engineering technicians work in manufacturing industries.1 During that same period, the median annual wage for electrical and electronics engineering technicians was $53,240. The highest 10 percent of workers earned more than $78,560.2
The BLS also stated, "The most significant source of postsecondary education or training for these positions is an associate's degree." Ecotech Institute provides an atmosphere for students to develop the needed experience and skills by applying theory and real-world training--all while earning an Associate of Applied Science degree.
