The work of electrical engineers involves designing, developing, testing, and supervising the production of electrical equipment ranging from electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, and power generation equipment.
Civil Engineers design and manage projects that focus on fields including construction, transportation, and the environment, among others. Their projects often involve the design and implementation process of structures including roads, buildings, water supply systems, bridges, and many other essential elements to our society.
Chemical engineers use their knowledge of chemistry to develop products and find solutions to problems in a variety of industries. Chemical Engineers discover and manufacture better plastics, paints, fuels, fibers, medicines, fertilizers, semiconductors, paper, and all other kinds of chemicals. Chemical Engineers also play an important role in protecting the environment, inventing cleaner technologies, calculating environmental impacts, and studying the fate of chemicals in the environment.
Biomedical engineers combine their knowledge of biology and medicine with the practices of engineering to develop devices and procedures to solve medical and health problems. Many biomedical engineers do research to evaluate health systems and products.
Environmental engineers combine the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. As an environmental engineer, you will be directly involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues.
Systems engineers are responsible for the design, development, and implementation of integrate systems such as cars, subways, robots, and computer networks. While other professions in engineering concentrate on one aspect of the system, systems engineers focus on the system as a whole.
Computer engineers work to design, construct, implement and maintain computers and their equipment. They often are working to research new innovations to further advance technological gains.
Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to design and manufacture machines and devices of all types. Mechanical engineers research, design, develop, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices.
