What is Engineering & What do Engineers Do? Engineering involves developing innovative solutions to benefit humanity Engineering is essential to our health happiness and safety Engineers devise creative solutions to problems They design products and technologies to improve our quality of life Engineers shape our future

What do Engineers Design? Technology – Computers, iPods, televisions Structures – Buildings, bridges Equipment – Medical Equipment Chemicals – Pharmaceuticals, household products, cosmetics Materials – Polymers, plastics, sports equipment Transportation – Automobiles, aircraft And much more!

Engineering Disciplines Here are a few engineering disciplines which can be explored further on TryEngineering.org. TryEngineering.org Aerospace Engineering - Aerospace Engineers design, develop, and test aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles and supervise the manufacture of these products. Architectural Engineering - Architectural engineers apply engineering principles to the construction, planning, and design of buildings and other structures. Bioengineering – Bioengineers are of service to people, work with living systems, and apply advanced technology to the complex problems of medical care.

Engineering Disciplines cont’d. Chemical Engineering - Chemical engineers work in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, design and construction, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, food processing, specialty chemicals, polymers, biotechnology, and environmental health and safety industries. Civil Engineering –Civil engineers are involved in the conception, planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to space satellites. Computer Engineering - Computer engineers analyze and evaluate computer systems, both hardware and software. They might work on system such as a flexible manufacturing system or a "smart" device or instrument.

Engineering Disciplines cont’d. Computer Science - Computer scientists design technologies such as the next generation computer systems, computer networking, biomedical information systems, gaming systems, search engines, web browsers, and computerized package distribution systems. Electrical Engineering - Electrical and electronics engineers conduct research, and design, develop, test, and oversee the development of electronic systems and the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment and devices. Environmental Engineering – Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry, environmental engineers develop solutions to environmental problems.

Engineering Disciplines cont’d. Industrial Engineering - Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways to use the basic factors of production — people, machines, materials, information, and energy — to make a product or to provide a service. Manufacturing Engineering - Manufacturing engineers are involved with the process of manufacturing from planning to packaging of the finished product. Materials Engineering - Materials engineering is a field of engineering that encompasses the spectrum of materials types and how to use them in manufacturing. Materials span the range: metals, ceramics, polymers (plastics), semiconductors, and combinations of materials called composites.

Engineering Disciplines cont’d. Mechanical Engineering - Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to design and manufacture machines and devices of all types. Nuclear Engineering - Nuclear engineers research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems for national laboratories, private industry, and universities that derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation for society. Software Engineering - Software engineers working in applications or systems development analyze users' needs and design, construct, test, and maintain computer applications software or systems.

Careers in Engineering A greater diversity of engineers is needed in the field to develop the best possible designs, products and processes Many pre-university students do not choose engineering because they have little awareness of what engineers really do and have distorted perceptions about what engineering entails (its nerdy, really hard, male only, have to be really good in math and science, doesn’t make a difference in the world etc…) According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, engineers held 1.5 million jobs in 2006 in the US alone so career opportunities are plentiful
