Main duties

Electrical and electronics engineers perform some or all of the following duties:

Conduct research into the feasibility, design, operation and performance of electrical generation and distribution networks, electrical machinery and components and electronic communications, instrumentation and control systems, equipment, and components

Prepare material cost and timing estimates, reports and design specifications for electrical and electronic systems and equipment

Design electrical and electronic circuits, components, systems and equipment

Conduct micro or nanodevices simulations, characterization, process modeling and integration in the development of new electronic devices and products

Supervise and inspect the installation, modification, testing and operation of electrical and electronic systems and equipment

Develop maintenance and operating standards for electrical and electronic systems and equipment

Investigate electrical or electronic failures

Prepare contract documents and evaluate tenders for construction or maintenance

Supervise technicians, technologists, programmers, analysts and other engineers.

Electrical and electronics engineers may specialize in a number of areas including electrical design for residential, commercial or industrial installations, electrical power generation and transmission, and instrumentation and control systems.

Employment requirements A bachelor's degree in electrical or electronics engineering or in an appropriate related engineering discipline is required. A master's or doctoral degree in a related engineering discipline may be required. Licensing by a provincial or territorial association of professional engineers is required to approve engineering drawings and reports and to practise as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.). Engineers are eligible for registration following graduation from an accredited educational program, and after three or four years of supervised work experience in engineering and passing a professional practice examination. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is offered by the Canada Green Building Council and may be required by some employers.



Additional information Supervisory and senior positions in this unit group require experience. Engineers often work in a multidisciplinary environment and acquire knowledge and skills through work experience that may allow them to practise in associated areas of science, engineering, sales, marketing or management.
