主题领域广泛，从微电子芯片设计和制造到发电和配电。在诸如电信，计算机软件，硬件和网络，医疗电子，安全，虚拟和增强现实，控制和机器人技术以及可再生能源系统等领域中，正在取得快速发展。由于在如此广泛的领域中对电气和电子工程师的大量需求，本地，国家和国际上的毕业生严重短缺。因此，在皇后大学获得该学位的学生很有可能在非常广泛的领域获得毕业后的高薪工作。
The subject area is broad, ranging from micro-electronic chip design and manufacture to power generation and distribution. Rapid advances are occurring in fields such as telecommunications, computer software, hardware and networking, medical electronics, security, virtual and augmented reality, control and robotics and renewable energy systems. Due to the high demand for electrical and electronic engineers across such a broad range of sectors, there is a critical shortage of graduates locally, nationally and internationally. Students who take this degree at Queen's therefore have a high chance of gaining well-paid jobs on graduation, in very diverse areas.
