Topic > Rhetorical Analysis: Electrical Engineering - 1689

Rhetorical Analysis: Writing in Major. Common sense seems to dictate that I should be an engineer. My older brother is an electrical engineer for Cisco, my other brother studies mechanical engineering at UNC Charlotte, my uncle is a petroleum engineer, as is my cousin. But despite all this, choosing this discipline was not an easy choice because I wanted to be a dentist, but after thinking for a long time, I decided to study electrical engineering. Electrical engineering may be a relatively new type of engineering. It is not as old as other types of engineers are, and the job outlook should not be optimistic, according to Bls.gov "Employment of electrical and electronics engineers is projected to show little to no change from 2014 to 2024." (Bls.gov 2015). So the employment for electrical engineering is not good, but that doesn't affect my commitment to become an electrical engineer. I grew up in Northern Sudan with little electricity in many places due to lack of experts and electricity is only available in cities. Despite all this, North Sudan has more than enough resources to use for electricity, such as building dams in the Nile River or using the Sahara Desert as a source of solar energy. These reasons and many more explain why electricity and electrical engineering has always been a mystery, it was something I wanted to learn and study. I hope that after gaining experience working for different companies in the electrical engineering field, I can go back and help my country and maybe start my own company. Electrical engineers work on a variety of things, as LiveScience states: “Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to massive power plants… middle of paper… eyes on how exactly does engineering look like, at the same time they taught me so many things I have never known about the field of electrical engineering. I am happy to have written and learned about this topic because I am sure it will play an important role in the near future and Electronics: Occupational Outlook Handbook: US Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015).
