Electrical Engineering

Overview

The main objective of the Electrical Engineering programme from Politecnico di Milano is to allow an active involvement of PhDs in any research body such as an R&D department of a production or service company. A PhD in Electrical Engineering has a solid basic knowledge of mathematics and physics. This is essential, particularly for handling and understanding advanced tools and methods as well as for proper modelling, analysis and design of electrical engineering applications, with particular regard to power applications.

Career

Currently, several very important opportunities are given to electrical engineers all over the world. PhDs in electrical engineering are typically employed at major research centres, including University and Academic institutions, R&D departments in the public and private industry, power generation companies, transmission and distribution utilities, consultant offices, metrology reference institutes and certification laboratories, transport areas, public bodies such as the Regulators or State offices. Moreover, self-employment professional activity is also a very popular option.
