ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Education and training of electrical and electronics engineers

Alright kiddo, let's talk about how people become electrical and electronics engineers!

First, electrical engineers work with things that use electricity, like lights, computers, and phones. Electronics engineers work with things that use microscopic parts to control electricity, like circuit boards.

To become either type of engineer, you need to go to school and learn a lot of things! You start by going to college and getting a degree in electrical or electronics engineering. This means you go to classes and learn about circuits, math, how electricity works, and more!

Then, after you finish college, you might get a job where you can learn more details about how to design and build things like electrical infrastructure, microprocessors, or anything else that uses electricity.

The more you work, the more you learn, and the better you become at designing and building electrical and electronic devices that we use every day!

So, that's how people become electrical and electronics engineers. It takes a lot of learning and practice, but it can be a really fun and rewarding career!
