Possible Career Pathways:
- Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineers - design, manufacture and operate aircraft, spacecraft, missiles and rockets
- Biomedical Engineers - analyze and design solutions to problems in biology and medicine, with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of patient care
- Mechanical Engineers - design, build and test machines, engines and other mechanical devices
- Chemical Engineers - design equipment and processes for large-scale chemical manufacturing, plan and test methods of manufacturing products and treating byproducts, and supervise production
- Civil Engineers - design and supervise large construction projects, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment
- Environmental Engineers - use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems
- Electrical and Electronics Engineers - research, design, develop, test, or supervise the manufacturing and installation of electrical equipment, components, or systems for commercial, industrial, military, or scientific use
- Computer Software Engineers - apply computer science, engineering, and math to design, develop, and test software
- Computer Hardware Engineers - research, design, develop, and test computer equipment such as chips, circuit boards, or routers. By solving complex problems in computer hardware, these engineers create rapid advances in computer technology
- Nuclear Engineers - research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems used to get benefits from nuclear energy and radiation
- Mining and Geological Engineers - design mines for the safe and efficient removal of minerals, such as coal and metals, for manufacturing and utilities
- Agricultural Engineers - also known as biological and agricultural engineers—work on a variety of activities. These activities range from aquaculture (raising food, such as fish, that thrive in water) to land farming to forestry; from developing biofuels to improving conservation; from planning animal environments to finding better ways to process food
- Industrial Engineers - Industrial engineers find ways to eliminate wastefulness in production processes. They devise efficient ways to use workers, machines, materials, information, and energy to make a product or provide a service.
- Transportation and Logisitics includes transportation of passengers as well as cargo, warehousing and storage of goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation and support activities.
- Speciality Trades Contractors are workers whose primary activity is performing specific activities: pouring concrete, site preparation, plumbing, painting, and electrical work.
- Manufacturing are workers engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components, into new products.
