Electrical engineers come in high demand all over the globe, so it’s no surprise that you can take your pick from many different locations for where you’d like to intern abroad. There are still a few factors which may strongly influence the shape of your internship though, which we will cover in this section.
First is the level of economic and infrastructural development in the country where you intern. For example the type of projects you will engage with as an electrical engineering intern abroad in developed countries such as Germany or Canada may be much different in scope than the work you will be doing in less developed countries such as India or Cameroon.
Second is the language barrier. While many internships abroad in electrical engineering require technical know-how more so than a linguistic skillset, you will still have to communicate effectively with the people you are working with. While many educated people around the world do speak English, countries such as Japan, Brazil, or France can still pose a linguistic hurdle to accessing many electrical engineering internships abroad.
Lastly, and this questions bears consideration, could you see yourself working abroad as an expatriate in the country where you intern? While it’s important not to get ahead of yourself, you never know where an internship abroad in electrical engineering may lead, so try to choose somewhere that you could see yourself working long-term in as well!
