Engineering is a profession for those who like building things, and helping others in society with creativity. Engineers design things such as buildings, bridges, cars, airplanes, and computers. Engineers solve technical problems and benefit society by applying principles of science and mathematics. Often times, there are multiple solutions to a problem, engineers must use ingenuity to select the most suitable one.
There are types of Engineers; some of them are, and some of the things they do, design and build:
- Aerospace Engineer: Airplanes, spacecrafts and missiles.
- Agricultural Engineer: Tractors, grain silos (huge grain containers), ways to improve
- Biomedical Engineer: Medical Imaging equipment like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and prostheses (such artificial joints), artificial organs like an artificial heart.
- Chemical Engineer: Chemical manufacturing equipment such as distillation towers to make gasoline from oil, and food processing equipment like those used to make chocolates.
- Civil Engineer: Houses, buildings, railroads, bridges, roads, and everyday things necessary for civil life.
- Computer Engineer: Computer chips, circuit boards (that hold microchips), keyboards, modems, and printers.
- Electrical Engineer: Electric motors, wiring in buildings, cars, and airplanes, power generators from damned water.
- Electronics Engineer: Electronic equipment like computer controlling chips, global positioning system (GPS) components, and machinery electronics.
- Environmental Engineer: Drinking water processing plants and equipment, and wastewater treatment, study Global warming.
- Health and Safety Engineers: Find potential hazards and solutions to them in a manufacturing facility, improve toys so that they are safe.
- Industrial Engineer: Plan routes for planes and trucks to distribute goods efficiently, a salary plan for a company, and design the production of toys in a toy factory.
- Marine Engineers and Naval Architects: A huge cargo ship, a fast boat, a yacht.
- Materials Engineer: New materials that make computers faster, new materials for wheels so cars can run safer, metals so that equipment works longer, optical fibers for telecommunications.
- Mechanical Engineer: Cars, airplanes, engines, turbines, robots, air-conditioning equipment.
- Mining and Geological Engineer: Find and extract coal, metals, and minerals, operate mines safely and in a environment friendly way.
- Nuclear Engineers: Nuclear plants, find safe ways to dispose of radiation material, and propulsion systems for spacecrafts.
- Petroleum Engineer: Find petroleum underneath underground, design extraction systems for oil and natural gas, design huge drills to reach the petroleum.
