GLOSSARY FOR AN
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
Hi
This specific list was compiled for a real shitty electrical engineer
with near-zero English, who nevertheless did pass the interveiw.
Most of these terms came from recesses and crevices of my own mind.
Compiling such a list of essential terms and phrases for your
profession, unless you are an electrical engineer, may be a good place to start.
Enjoy.

them shit.
