Where a electrical engineer can go next
12 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a electrical engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Electrical engineers design and develop electrical systems, electrical equipment, components, motors, and equipment with the feature of energy transmission. They engage in large scale projects such as the design and maintenance of power stations, and the distribution of power to smaller applications such as household appliances.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a electrical engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
