Electrical Engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. An entry level electrical engineer works as assistance, trainee or as an internship to gain experience to develop their career as an electrical engineer.
Starting your electrical engineering career can be difficult, but there are a lot of ways to go about it. In this article I would mainly provide you some important interview questions that are frequently asked to an entry level electrical engineer.
1. What is the purpose of a transistor?
A transistor is a semiconductor device which is commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals. A transistor is made of a solid piece of a semiconductor material, with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. It is used as a switch or a signal amplifier in a circuit.
2. How will you calculate the speed of an induction motor without using tacho meter?
This question is frequently asked to test the application of the academic knowledge of the candidate at times in practical situations to know about the particular equipment. Following formula is used for calculating the speed:
Speed = synch speed-{(slip*synch speed)/100}
3. What are your skills and qualifications?
Well I have excellent academic background in this field. I have good command over Circuit Analysis, Discrete & Continue Signal Systems, Logic Design, Microprocessor Design, VLSI design, Solid State Device, Electronics, Image Analysis and Computer Vision, Digital Systems Design, Transmission Line Theory, Analog Communication Circuits, and Power and Electromechanical Energy Conversion. I am familiar with softwares such as MS Office (Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher), Adobe Photoshop, MS Visual J++ 6.0, AutoCAD 2007, Flash 5, Matlab, and Solidwork. I have outstanding knowledge of theories and concepts, technical work and electrical principles. I also have natural communication, interpersonal, analytical and organizational skills.
4. Why have you chosen to pursue a career in this field?
The answer to this question will differ from person to person. It is a brilliant opportunity for you to explain the extensive process of research and education that you have undertaken. Tell them about your strengths and how you match up with this job.
If you want to secure a decent entry level electrical engineering jobs then you definitely need to prepare the above listed questions. I am certain my article will surely help you in answering these questions with great confidence. Good luck in finding your ideal entry level electrical engineering job!
