*appears out of nowhere* Yay! I have logged on at last! It's been like, forever!
Alas, my reasons for logging on are desperate.
My final "project" in Carpentry consists of a demonstrative speech with a visual, a paper, and an interview--with somebody in a chosen field of study.
Turns out that the field *I* chose is "electrical engineering" and I have everything done! Woo!!
...Except the interview. It's part of the paper, and the paper is worth the most points, so understandably, I want to interview the best darn electrical engineer you ever did see. Uh, if that makes sense. But the thing is, I don't know WHO to interview! And so we reach the point of this post. Does anybody have any ideas on who, or how to get in contact with someone, in the electrical engineering field?
Electrical Engineering!?

Maybe contact the Institute of Electrical Engineers (iee.org) or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (ieee.org), two major trade associations.
And you're doing this for carpentry?

The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

You're sure you're not after an electrician right? That would make more sense if you're studying carpentry (e.g. housewiring and the like). In any event, the websites offered will contain some useful resources, although I'm not certain you'll be able to just grab someone out of the blue like that. You could try asking your parents or other relatives if they know any electrical engineers, or you could try caling some local companies that do work related to electrical engineering.
In addition of course, there are a few electrical engineers here (such as myself) who may be willing to answer some questions.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

^_^ Yup! Carpentry. Eh, da prof approved it. Thanks for the sites!! But if I could convince somebody like Technomancer --*waves a plate of cookies enticingly*-- to do it, that might be easier than waiting for an email reply...
Waddya say? Interested?
