1. Career Opportunities and Professional Organizations

2. Careers Engineering Technicians
Engineers are the designers and builders of our society.
Create and oversee the construction of all types of vehicles, highways, buildings, factories and mines.
Design and develop artificial organs, metal alloys, ceramics, and devices.
Technicians
Generally solve problems and manage technical projects.

3. Aeronautical Engineering
Their role is to design, manufacture, maintain, and test aircrafts. Aerospace engineering is closely related to aeronautics.
Aeronautical engineers are also involved in developing rocket engines, artificial satellites, and spacecrafts.

4. Agricultural Engineering
Design, construct, test, sell, and service equipment for the preparation of soil, planting of crops, cultivating, harvesting, and processing crops.
Design buildings and equipment for animal care, greenhouses, and water supplies.
Design flood control, waste treatment, and disposal systems.

5. Automotive Engineering
Design, develop, test, and build vehicles of all kinds.
Work may include engine design, fuel efficiency, lubricants, electrical systems, electronics, structures, hydraulics, materials, and safety systems.

6. Biomedical Engineering
Design and build medical diagnostic and treatment instruments, prostheses, artificial organs, and pacemakers.
Adapt computers to the needs of medical data processing and to modernize laboratory, hospital, and clinic structures and procedures.

7. Ceramic Engineering
Specialize in heat-resistant materials, pottery, fiber optics, insulators, brick and tile, electronic materials, metal coatings, glass, abrasives, and cement.
Uranium oxide ceramics provide the fuel elements of nuclear reactors placing some ceramic engineers in the nuclear field.

8. Chemical Engineering
Research and develop ways to use chemistry to increase economical and efficient production processes. They design, construct, and operate equipment and factories that use those developed processes.

9. Civil Engineering
Create, improve, and provide protection to the community environment, by providing facilities for living, industry, transportation, and other constructions.
A civil engineer has a thorough knowledge of:
surveying
properties and mechanics of construction materials
mechanics of structures and soils
hydraulics and fluid mechanics

10. Electrical Engineering
Their role is to develop, design, and manufacture systems and devices that use electric power and signals.
Four main categories are:
Electric power and machinery is concerned with the design and operation of systems for generating, transmitting, and distributing electric power.
Electronic engineering deals with circuits and devices used in the transmission and processing of information, which is now generated, transmitted, received, and stored electronically.
Communications and control engineers are concerned with all aspects of electrical communications and control systems.
Computer engineering is now among the most rapidly growing fields.

11. Genetic Engineering
Investigate ways to transplant genes from one living thing to another.
Genetic engineers have produced bacteria that manufacture human proteins, hormones, and vaccines. They research bacterium to spread on fields to decrease frost damage to crops.
Research also includes ways to repair hereditary defects in humans.

12. Industrial Engineering
Design production lines, conduct long-range planning, and work on computerized information systems.
Give the students some examples of what an industrial engineer would be involved with….we have an entire slide to work with.

13. Manufacturing Engineering
Instrumental to efficient production.
Design, develop, test, and set-up manufacturing equipment.
Devise new methods and specify standard methods for new products.

14. Mechanical Engineers Design, build, test, and operate machinery.
They also work on a variety of manufactured goods and structures.
Marine engineering is specialized mechanical engineer devoted to the design and operation of systems needed to propel a ship.

15. Metallurgical Engineering
Design, develop, and operate plants and equipment for extracting metals from ores.
Projects may involve refining, alloying, casting, fabricating, and heat-treating the metals. These processes contribute to industrial pollution forcing their involvement into society's concern for the environment.

16. Mining Engineering
Design and supervise the construction of open-pit and underground mines.
Responsible for mine ventilation, power, communications, and maintenance.
Develop methods of separating minerals from their ore by crushing, grinding, and chemical treatment.

17. Nuclear Engineering
Design the construction and operation of nuclear power plants on land and at sea.
Design and build nuclear weapons.
Research industrial and medical uses for radioactive materials.

18. Petroleum Engineering
Petroleum engineers are essentially mining engineers who deal with oil and gas.
Research and supervise well drilling on land and at sea.
Explore and drill for fossil fuels using recovery tactics, such as injecting steam, detergents, and water into wells.

19. Organizations and Societies
An organized group of people joined together via a common interest.
Most will supply a career pamphlet.
Some will assist in the search for employment.
Hold periodic meetings.
Members deliver mini seminars.
Employers attend with the goal of recruiting personnel.
Members participate in resource sharing.
