Hello Shubham Gupta!

Electrical engineers produce electrical equipment. They are involved with all stages of the production of this type of equipment and use a combination of design and technical skills in their work. The most common fields of study for electrical engineers are electrical or electronics engineering and they are required to have a bachelor's degree. A Professional Engineer (PE) license may be needed to pursue managerial roles but is not required for entry-level work in this field. It's common for electrical engineers to work in power production, research and manufacturing. They may produce things such as electric motors or generators.

Electricians ensure that the electrical systems in houses, buildings and outdoor areas are installed and work properly. It's possible to start out in this field with a high school diploma or GED and learn on the job through an apprenticeship program. Once a combination of apprenticeship hours and classroom training is complete or an electrician graduates from technical school, they can earn their electrician's license; the specific requirements for an electrician's license may vary from state to state so it's important to check local training requirements for this career. Electricians often travel to work sites and it's common for them to work evenings and weekends.

Hope it helps!

Thanks!
