      Foundation Year Programs in Electrical Engineering

      A foundation year is a program for entry-level university students preparing for an intensive college degree. These programs often consist of introductory courses in a chosen field of study and give students the appropriate foundational knowledge.

      What is a foundation year in electrical engineering? This field is a subcategory of engineering relating specifically to electrical energy and associated technology. Some topics that may be included in an electrical engineering foundation year are mathematics, physics and perhaps a few introductory computer science courses. This field often incorporates computer technology, electronics and telecommunications, and it occasionally overlaps other engineering concentrations. Many programs explore developing topics like robotics, artificial intelligence and microprocessors, in addition to basic radio, television and telephone communication systems.

      Electrical engineering students have the tendency to be extremely detail oriented. Through the study of advanced mathematics and science, these students may develop strong logical thinking as well as positive leadership skills that can help with future career opportunities.

      The cost of any education can vary based on the type of university and the duration of the courses. Foundation years are no different, and these programs should be researched for tuition and enrollment requirements by prospective students.

      For entry-level electrical engineering positions, students can earn an associate’s degree. However, for higher-paying positions, students may consider pursuing a bachelor’s degree or specialized certifications. Jobs in information technology (IT), broadcasting, transportation and power industries can all provide career options for experienced electrical engineers. For various corporations, positions for mechanical manufacturing engineers and hardware engineers are often needed. Careers in architecture, construction and lighting are also common career pursuits.

      Students can find a foundation year program in electrical engineering at many universities locally or abroad. These courses can help ease the transition to earning a college education.
