Architectural Designs

Who builds the designs of an electrical engineer?

If I became an electrical engineer, would I be able to build my own designs or do I just make them and somebody else does the work?

1. Nope, you can build them. In college you'll be spending most of your time soldering.
2. An electrical engineer typically has access to a shop where there are technicians to build prototypes. After debugging, the designs are ready for full manufacturing. This transfer is typically done by another person called a manufacturing engineer. If you want to build your own designs, work for a very small company. You will do everything.
3. Most of the designs are made by draftsmen, CAD designers, engineers and project managers so it's a collaborative effort. You can build your own designs as long as they tally with larger electrical systems that companies and industries need.
4. It depends on the scale of your project. If you are talking about some small circuit, you can do it yourself. If it is a system with a lot of hardware, then you will need to hire a construction contractor who is licensed for electrical work.
