Careers in Engineering and Engineering Technology What is Engineering? Engineering & Engineering Technology What is ABET, Inc.? Engineering Disciplines

What is Engineering? Engineering . . . Is using math and science to solve practical problems Requires creativity, persistence, and a desire for improvement

Engineering & Engineering Technology Manufacturing Test and Evaluation Development Routine Design Complex Design Production Operation, Service, And Maintenance Complex Analysis Distribution and Sales Research Image courtesy of www.asme.org More Mathematical Less Mathematical

What is ABET, Inc.? The recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology Currently accredits around 2,800 programs at more than 600 colleges and universities Visit www.abet.org to learn more about courses of study and ABET accredited institutions.

Engineering Disciplines The U.S. government keeps statistics on 17 engineering disciplines. Each discipline includes an ABET accredited course of study. Each discipline has many sub-fields or specializations available.

Engineering Disciplines Aerospace Health and Safety Agricultural Industrial Biomedical Marine and Ocean Chemical Materials Civil Mechanical Computer Hardware Mining and Geological Electrical Nuclear Electronics Petroleum Environmental These are listed in alphabetical order. Others disciplines that have ABET accredited degree programs and would be considered specialty fields of the above 17 include: Architectural, Ceramic, Construction, Management, Mechanics, Physics, Metallurgical, Optical, Survey, and Welding

Aerospace Engineering Design, develop, and test aircraft and spacecraft ranging from rockets and spacecraft to gliders and small passenger aircraft. You might: Design or build instrumentation to colonize space Make planes go faster Make air travel safer Investigate crashes
