Can a electrical engineer become data scientist?

Yes, you could easily make the transition from electrical engineering to Data science and could become a Data Scientist with efforts from your side. You have the required qualifications that are asked during the recruitment, like a bachelor’s degree, sound knowledge in a programming language, etc.

How is electrical engineering related to Data Science?

The field of Data Science is indebted to electrical engineering! Data science has adopted many techniques within the signal processing field ranging from signal analysis to neural network to deep learning and many more. Some work on both the production and consumption of data.

Is there any relation between data science and electrical engineering?

There is little to no relation between data science and electrical engineering. As to why you should be a data scientist instead of an electrical engineer – you shouldn’t unless you are having difficulty finding a job as an electrical engineer.

How do I start a career in data science?

Search for positions such as Junior Data Analyst or Junior Data Scientist. System-specific training or certifications in data-related fields (e.g., business intelligence applications, relational database management systems, data visualization software, etc.) might help when looking for entry-level data science jobs.

Is a data scientist a data engineer?

Although data scientists are not data engineers, they should (ideally) have some knowledge of how databases are constructed, and how to pull data from an organization’s preferred database management system (DBMS).

Do electrical engineers work with big data and programming?

Electrical engineers can work in a variety of fields that require programming and math experience. I don’t like to talk about “big data”, because that term is rarely helpful, but the main thing you learn as an electrical engineer that translates to data science is the way you think through problems.
