<p>Hi, I gonna to study Electrical engineering in U of Minnesota, and I am surprised that so many people now are studying that. However, I have a question: Will the personnel market for electrical engineering be saturated in the next several years?? Could anyone familiar with Electrical engineering answer that?? thanks</p>

In my eyes, a very natural outgrowth of increased enrollment.</p>

<p>More enrollment is both good and bad. More competition, but supply creates its own demand.</p>

<p>The number of EE bachelors degrees granted has been on a steady decline since the end of the dot-com boom, which was itself only a small departure from a general downward trend since the mid-80s.</p>

<p>On the other hand, masters degrees have become significantly more common, possibly as foreign nationals enter the field.</p>
