Seeing your accompanying picture, I wonder if the question is about the building electrical design piece? I'll answer from the perspective of the work I'm engaged in.
First of all: "electrical engineer" is a profession, but also not a specialty, say specialization, it should be "electrical engineering and automation", "electrical engineering and automation "and so on. These professions, including two aspects, one is "electrical engineering", favoring the strong side of the electricity (usually electrical refers to the strong), one is "automation", more inclined to the weak control piece. (Power engineering is another direction, but also electrical engineers, this is no longer said)
Personal engaged in the building electrical design of this area, in the school learning is also the direction of electrical engineering, so from this piece of talk.
What is an electrical engineer?
Quoted from the wikipedia definition:
Electrical engineer, is engaged in electrical professional engineering design and related business professional and technical personnel. Among them, there is a higher level, that is, "registered electrical engineers": registered electrical engineers, refers to the "People's Republic of China *** and the country of registered electrical engineers license registration certificate" of the professional and technical personnel of the state engaged in electrical engineering design activities of professional and technical personnel to implement the license registration management system. Registered electrical engineers practice involves a wide range, can be engaged in electrical supervision, bidding, bid evaluation, technical consulting and other work. According to China's accession to the WTO agreement, belonging to the service industry should also be open to the world, in the protection period of foreign design companies in the country can only do the program, the expansion of the initial, construction drawings must be designed by the domestic design units or domestic design units to undertake or cooperate with the domestic design units, in 2006 to fully open up the design market, foreign design companies will enter the domestic market. Future challenges, the implementation of the registration system in the field of design is imperative, this system mainly plays the role of technical barriers. Electrical engineer routine work content 1, drawing, audit, gatekeeper and custody of electrical engineering drawings; 2, review of the electrical construction program, inspect the construction process of material specifications, brand, technical performance and drawings are consistent, the general quality problems to be dealt with in a timely manner and reported to the leadership; engineering drawings 3, supervise and inspect the construction site of electrical construction, on-site installation and debugging of electrical equipment, analyze and deal with on-site Failure; 4, the development of electrical equipment and measuring instruments of the rules and regulations and operating sop, maintenance plan and cycle inspection plan, and coordinate the daily repair, maintenance and measurement of inspection and other work; 5, the establishment, improve the statistics of fixed assets of electrical equipment and measuring instruments of the archives, statistics, numbering, and other management systems; 6, in the electrical equipment and spare parts additions and engineering projects, strictly in accordance with the company's established In the purchase of electrical equipment and spare parts and engineering projects, in strict accordance with the company's procurement procedures, good quality; 7, to assist the various professions and departments of the various types of validation work.Specialty (career) how?
Often electrical engineers in design institutes are a desperate job! 9 to 5? Just YY it, don't take it seriously! Overtime? It's a common occurrence!
Ourself from 2011 to now, watching his body slowly poor: once weighed more than 140 guys, to now 210 pounds of uncle! Age? Just a few years old, the virtual age! For himself six to nine is the norm, I do not know how many overnight, a person, or a few people, hundreds of thousands of square meters of complex construction drawings, one or two months to complete, it is really killing! Now think about it, how do you have so much potential? Colleagues around me are the same, work overtime, regardless of you and me, day and night! It's not that we have much ability to stay up, but for the sake of progress, for the node and have to do! I've been looking at the body shape, the physical state of the deterioration, are thinking of having to get through the day, but, where is the way out?
Said income, more or less still have a little relationship with the workload, it is not low, the design of this line, not poor, not rich! A lot of people test certificates, which is not a small amount of take-away income, but nowadays the check is strict, hanging is also difficult, the cost is also low! Do private work? Oh! Like the rhythm described earlier, think there is time and energy? More money, but also to have life and time to do things to get money ah! Ignore that!
Most people do electrical design (including water, heating and other specialties), are in the design institute for a few years, and then go to the party, go to the consultant, etc., the actual stay, really very few! Exactly, we are all people with families and children! Good or bad after switching careers, you'll know if you go there, you don't have that experience yourself, so it's hard to comment!
