I mean someone who actually is one by profession, not someone who has titled themself such when what they mean is they know how to change the batteries in their vibrating cheerleader doll....

I design circuits for the telecom industry. Is there a problem with this job title?

Something that really seemed to help in deciding what type of engineering I and some of my friends wanted to do was take a broad variety of basic engineering classes: chemistry, physics, electrical circuits, whatever. Taking some of the basics that are required for the different majors can help you to figure out if you are interested in the basic building blocks of a degree. Also, working as an undergraduate research student can help you figure out if you are interested in some of the more 'real life' projects that people are working on. If you can get work study money from your school, you can ask a professor you admire or like in class if they need research support. I've found that most professors are usually short on money and students willing to start helping with whatever tasks need performed to help with a research project. As a work study student, it costs the professor nothing, they get a new worker for a bit of time each week, and you get to learn a bit about the interesting projects that are underway at the university. Commit to a semester or one year of working in the lab, and even if you're just washing glassware or cleaning electrical ports (?) you're likely to learn a lot about the degree.

Ok, it's what mjnjtfox said. We design things, usually electronic (sometimes basic mechanical stuff too). EE's also usually write the software that actually controls a piece of equipment (the firmware) as well as software for testing. There are a lot of areas to the field. Some engineers just test things, or design ways to test things, some just spec parts, some look into way things fail or how things can fail. Others do research for new designs and some do the actuall design of the products. It depends on what part of the company your in. For me, lots of designing, lots of developing test setups, and lots of lucking at data from test on the things I've designed. Looking at files rigt now that have 200,000 test results in them ... ewwww. But I have software (I wrote, also part of the EE job) that looks through the data for me and picks out the important stuff. Just like an Achitect produces a blue print to show how to build a house, we generate a schematic that shows how to build an electronic device.

Both my parents are electrical engineers.
There is a number of things you can do. My maja works with an air force base and my dad works for a couple of companies. Its kinda up in the air watcha wanna do.
