Design
Electrical engineers start by researching electrical power to design a new product. They often collaborate with other technical and nontechnical professionals in the organization to understand what type of functionality the product requires. They then translate that into technical information to help design the product. They use computer design software to create blueprints and specifications to build the product. Electrical engineers create prototypes to test the product’s functionality before it goes into production. They revise blueprints and test the product until it’s functional and ready for manufacturing.
