difference of their job description and requirements between a master electrician and an electrical engineer
2006-10-05 00:00:14 · 9 answers · asked by Ysmael A 1 in Science & Mathematics ➔ Engineering
A master electrician is a Tradesman - and an electrical engineer is a Professional (well, he is in most countries, except for the UK , which calls a washing machine repair man, or a central heating installer an 'engineer'!)
A master electrician would be competent in installing and maintaining the systems designed and developed by the electrical engineer.

Electricians are skilled laborers . Some have certificates from a technical school. They don't need a college degree. They train as a journeyman with a licensed experienced electrician for a period of time ,perhaps over a year. They must know a little about all phases of building and codes to do their job properly. House and building wiring is not that easy. Electrical engineers don't get their hands dirty like an electrician. They all have at least a Bachelor's degree, many have a Masters degree and beyond. They do the designing of electrical systems so that others, like electricians, can do the installation. Electrical engineering is a very difficult major in college. They are both well paying jobs.

I am a Journeyman electrician and I'll answer your question with one simple word. MATH!!! A master electrician knows the National Electrical Code book and how it applies in the electrical field. Engineers do all the mathmatical applications, how to incorporate it into a building design. From there it goes to the CAD (computer aided drafting), where it is put into the plans, or prints. Then the contractor gets the job, gies the prints to the Master electrician, who is impowered to pull job permits from the city. It goes down to the Journeyman who does the work along with apprentices. Hope this helps. One more thing, engineers go to school. Journeyman and Master electricians get their training on the job 8000 hours for Journeyman,(4yrs) and an extra 2000 hrs for a master,(2 more years). Depending on the individual state requirements, but this is pretty standard.

I see people have already give you lots of good answers. I see no reason to give you another. I will tell you though that people have asked me if I would be willing to do some house wiring for them. I've always refused because I'm not an electrician and therefore I could incur some nasty liability problems. I can do it because I've studied the National Electric Code and I have done it in my own home (but it has nothing to do with me being an electrical engineer). After studying the National Electric Code, it seems to me that becoming an electrician would be very difficult. There seems to be an awfully lot of memorization. As an engineer, my college years were more oriented toward basic concepts than endless rote memorization. I respect electricians because they have a lot of skill and we entrust our lives to them every time we turn on an electrical appliance. They rightly call their workmanship "art".

An electrical engineer has earned a degree in applied science including many courses on the generation, distribution and use of electricity and electronics as well as many courses in other engineering disciplines so that his/her efforts may be coordinated with other (mechanical, chemical, etc.) designers. A master electrician (who may be equally intelligent) has learned his trade as an apprentice, journeyman then master with both classroom and field experience. The master electrician knows all the tricks of the trade to install and maintain the electrical apparatus that the electrical engineers design, including compliance with building codes. In a real way, you can't have one without the other (and they can't do each others work).

Master Electrician need not be a qualified Engineer. But Electrical Engineer need to be. A technician with experience can be called as an Master Electrician but not an engineer.

An electrical engineer has wasted his life, earning a degree and ending up working for a salary if lucky.
A master electrician has probably already setup a company and possibly employing electrical engineers for peanuts.
These are the rules in Australia !
