Hello,
I hold a bachelors degree in electrical engineering(passed out in 2020). Can my background be consider relevant for the roles of industrial automation?
I am thinking of pursuing a masters degree for the following program:

Any feed back would be appreciated.

Hey, yes EE is a good degree for industrial automation. If you're going for programmer jobs aka Software Engineer I'd do a few real word plc projects to showcase your skills. Unless you already did a few in college. Codesys is free and you can use a raspberry pi. Best of luck!
