What Do Engineers Do?

Applied Engineering Scientists

These engineers integrate many fields and people from business, management & telecommunications to design, production & new technologies!

Biosystems Engineers

Combining biology with engineering, biosystems engineers work in critical areas such as bioenergy, food safety, ecosystems protection, and human health.

Chemical Engineers

Developing and designing products that make use of chemical, physical, or biological transformations of raw materials is what these engineers do best!

Civil Engineers

Experts in planning, designing, and assisting in the operation and maintenance of water resources, transportation systems, environmental protection systems and urban development.

Computer Scientists

Who could survive without Computer Scientists? They strive to make computer systems that are highly reliable and available and they also create hardware and software for video games!

Electrical Engineers

Design, develop, test... that's what these engineers do with electric equipment of motors, aircraft, lighting in buildings, and so much more!

Environmental Engineers

Important to the environment we live in, these engineers work to find solutions for problems such as air & water pollution, global warming, and animal endangerment.

Materials Science Engineers

Tailoring raw materials from our earth, materials science engineers are able to create products that we use every single day like computers, dishes, and athletic equipment.

Mechanical Engineers

They come up with everything from combustion engines to spacecraft and power systems, to artificial limbs!
