AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

Agricultural engineers design farm and food processing equipment, construct crop storage and livestock buildings, and develop systems for drainage, irrigation, and waste disposal. Sometimes agricultural engineers work in labs like EPCOT’s Land Pavilion, where they experiment with promising indoor farming techniques such as hydroponics-the science of growing plants in fluids without dirt.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERINGCars

computers, microwave ovens, IPODs, MP3s, bicycles, video games, sports equipment, aircraft, athletic shoes, wheel-chairs, sunglasses, medical devices . . . every thing you see and use must be made – manufactured. Manufacturing engineers design, plan, develop, improve, and manage the machinery, processes, and systems that produce these products. Manufacturing engineers make industries and businesses competitive and innovative. They use knowledge of products, materials, processes, assembly methods, production equipment, systems capabilities, and quality standards to ensure that the products meet customers’ expectations and are produced at reasonable cost.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

engineers organize the people, information, eergy, manterials, and machines involved in the production process. They are concerned with plant design and management, quality control, and the human factors of engineering. Industrial engineers perform tasks such as finding the best location for a high-tech company’s new plant.

METALLURGY AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING

Metallurgical and materials engineers extract, process, refine, combine, and manufacture natural substances to create new materials that are stronger and resist corrosion. Metallurgical engineers work with metal only. Teams of metallurgy and materials engineers created the US Air Force’s “stealth” technology that makes a fighter plane’s surface nearly invisible to radar.

NUCLEAR ENGINEERING

Nuclear engineers design, develop, and control plants that use nuclear energy for fuel and medical purposes. Some nuclear engineers are busy working on a nuclear-powered spacecraft that will travel to Mars.
MINERAL AND MINING ENGINEERING
Mineral and mining engineers locate, remove, and appraise minerals they find in the earth. Mining engineers lay out the mines, supervise their construction, create a materials transportation system, and return the area to its natural state upon mining completion. Mineral and mining engineers need to know how to mine the natural wealth underground without destroying the land above or disrupting the people that live on it.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Transportation engineers design streets, highways, and other transit systems that allow people and goods to move safely and efficiently. For example, before constructing a new sports stadium, city officials rely on transportation engineers to plan traffic patterns that will prevent major tie-ups after the game.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineers use mechanics and energy principles to design machines such as engines and motors. Many mechanical engineers work in the areas of air-conditioning and refrigeration, automotives, manufacturing, welding, and robotics. They designed the robotically controlled braces that people with disabilities use to walk

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical engineering, the discipline that employs the largest number of engineers, covers everything related to electrical devices, systems, and the use of electricity. Electrical engineers work on power plants, computers, and other electrical devices. Electrical engineers are designing the dashboard computers that will monitor engine functions on automobiles of the future.

COMPUTER/SOFTWAREComputer engineers deal with all aspects of computer systems including design, construction, and operation. Some computer engineers specialize in areas like digital systems, operating systems, computer networks, and software. For example, we rely on computer engineers to design the software for a computer simulation that will test stress points in a bridge before it is built.

 

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineers take raw materials and turn them into the products that we use every day. This means that they are crucial to producing pharmaceuticals, soft drinks, and even makeup. Many chemical engineers work with petroleum and plastics, although both of these are the subject of independent disciplines. The term “environmental engineering” also applies to certain areas of chemical engineering, such as pollution control.
