Aerospace Engineering | Design primarily aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design. |
Biomedical Engineers | Combine engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to design and create equipment, devices, computer systems, and software used in healthcare. |
Civil Engineers | Design, build, supervise, operate, and maintain construction projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. |
Development Engineers | Create a product design that fulfills a company or client's strategic goals while integrating the needs of marketing, sales, and manufacturing departments. They oversee research and design teams, lead testing procedures, and draft specifications for manufacturing. |
Electrical Engineering | Research, design, develop, test, or supervise the manufacturing and installation of electrical equipment, components, or systems for commercial, industrial, military, or scientific use. |
Food Engineering | Also known as agricultural and food scientists, combine engineering concepts with microbiology, chemistry, and other sciences to create the best ways to make processed foods tasty, healthy, and safe. They're responsible for every step of food production, from production to distribution. |
Genetic Engineers | Develop organisms better suited to meet environmental challenges and suit the needs of modern medicine. |
Highway Engineers | Plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods. |
Insulation Engineers | Install insulating materials around pipes, boilers, and ductwork. They can work in factories, offices, power stations, or on ships. |
Jet Engineers | Responsible for ensuring that all components of the plane are in proper working order. |
Kinetic Engineers | Bring innovative projects and designs to market. |
Light Engineers | Produce the lighting effects for live events such as theater, concerts, and conferences, or in film and TV productions. |
Mechatronics Engineers | Combine aspects of mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering in order to increase efficiency in the production and function of manufactured goods. |
Nuclear Engineers | Research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems used to derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. |
Oil and Gas Engineers | (Also called petroleum engineers) work with geologists and other specialists to understand the geologic formation of the rock containing the reservoir. They then determine drilling methods, design and implement the drilling equipment, and monitor operations. |
Paper Engineers | Deals with the usage of physical science (e.g. chemistry and physics) and life sciences (e.g. biology and biochemistry) in conjunction with mathematics as applied to the converting of raw materials into useful paper products and co-products. |
Quality Engineers | Monitor and audit the quality of all manufactured goods in a variety of industries, including the automobile, textile, clothing, food, and electronics industries. They work to not only find defects, but also to find the cause of the defect and develop a solution. |
Railroad Engineers | Responsible for driving the engine, as well as the mechanical operation of the train, train speed, and all train handling. |
Systems Engineers | Someone who combines their knowledge of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to develop, test, and evaluate software, circuits, personal computers, and more. They don't simply engineer computer technology, but understand how that technology fits into the larger scheme of professional and personal needs. |
Telecommunications | Design and install equipment used for transmitting wired phone, cellular, cable, and broadband data. Day-to-day responsibilities can include working with copper or fiber optic cabling, complex networks, and switching systems. |
Utilities Engineers | Work in various energy producing industries, such as electricity, hydraulic, nuclear, or green energy. Some conduct research about the changes in energy use over time and predict how much energy will be needed in the future. Others maintain current energy producing equipment. |
Ventilation Engineers | Install and service the heating and air conditioning systems found mainly in larger buildings like office blocks, factories, schools, and hospitals. |
Water Resource Engineers | Develop new equipment and systems for water resource management facilities across the United States. The systems that Water Resource Engineers create ensure that citizens are provided with a continuous supply of clean, uncontaminated water for drinking, living, and recreational purposes. |
X-Ray Engineers | Maintains and repairs x-ray equipment. |
Yield Engineers | Analyze bulk data sets, to find causes for yield trends and yield value changes. Work with database and SQL servers to improve and refine data sets for analysis. Track the impact of process improvements and incidents and predict the impact to yield. Evaluate process changes using statistical analysis methods for effectiveness and risk. Improve systems, documentation, and procedures. Drive projects and cross-functional teams for yield improvement or methodology improvement. |
Zoo Engineers | People who keep track of the animals. They make sure their environment is safe for people to look at them and for the animals so the people can't do any harm to them. |
