In Australia, Electrical Engineering is one of the professions with the highest growth rate in the last 5 years up to 47.4% comparing to 7.8% of all the industry generally. According to the figures in November 2012, approximately 25,100 workers in this sector is expected to increase in the range of 10,001-25,000 employees until November 2017. According Joboutlook.gov.au, most Electrical Engineers do their job full time (accounting for 95.5%) with an average working hours of 41.7 hours/week and pre-tax income of 1,841 AUD/week (equivalent to 40.5 million VND/week).

Unemployment is not considered to be a major problem to graduates of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Social development and modernization of labor productivity are essential needs, requiring specialization of automatic equipment, demanding machinery to be more compact, more flexible and more intelligent. This led to the birth of sophisticated machinery to support bringing the highest labor productivity to employees and to all manufacturers. Therefore, Electrical and Electronics Engineering plays an increasingly important role in manufacturing and the society. After graduation, students can easily find yourself a suitable job with a stable income.

According to the statistics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering is one of the top 10 industries that has steady needs of human resources over the years and predictably in the future either.

The increasing demand for trained manpower in both sectors is not only for domestic production facilities  but also for labor export. As can be seen from statistics on the number of entrants, the competitive rate from other Universities, Colleges, and Vocational Schools in recent years proves that Electrical and Electronic Engineering is still one of the industries attracting the most of applicants’ interest.

Selecting a prestigious University for startups

In higher education level, Electrical and Electronic Engineering has diversity choices of major concentrations, such as: electrical, automation control, electronic – telecommunications… engineering. Students of these majors are equipped, updated with basic and specialized knowledge in engineering, design, production management of their chosen field. Specifically, students will learn a lot of knowledge related to low voltage power tools, graphics, drawing, electrical machinery, electrical materials, electrical measurement, electrical drawings, technical radio and television engineering , ultrasound, high-frequency engineering, electrical circuits, electrical safety …

Especially this is a major that requires a lot of practices. Therefore, in 4-5 year, each student has to go through dozens of different practice sessions. At the level College and Vocational Schools, even though the amount of knowledge is as much as undergraduate students but learners have more opportunity to practice.

Having received certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from a prestigious and worldwide recognized University such as the University of Queensland, UTS, career opportunities will be more open to graduates.

Besides learning in Vietnam, if possible, why not learning Electrical and Electronic Engineering in developed countries like USA, UK, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand…? In such developed countries, you will be trained in both theory and practice, be exposed to equipments and leading technology.

You can easily search for training programs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from prestigious universities in Australia and the US, such as The University of Queensland, UTS …
