design a skyscraper

A structural engineer might:

All of the above

An acoustical engineer might work with which type of person?

a computer circuit board

An electrical engineer might design:

food processing, soil and water, and aquaculture

Areas of the agricultural field of engineering include:

Industrial

Sally Mason is involved in the entire process of mass-producing a product. She is currently working on quality control for Yummy Toothpaste. Sally may be which type of engineer?

Marine and Ocean

These engineers are responsible for the design development and operation of ships, boats, and submarines.

Manufacturing

These engineers design the tools, processes, and machines needed to make a product. They design specific components for the mass-production of goods.

Construction

These engineers manage and operate building projects, focusing on building techniques and materials that are most cost effective, reliable, and safe for both people and the environment.

Geological

These engineers may help build and maintain earth-related power sources like hydroelectric dams and geothermal plants.

Computer

These engineers may help design products such as cell phones, airplanes, small appliances and/or automobiles.

Software

These engineers solve problems that appear in the development of computer programs.

Petroleum, Marine and Ocean

This engineer might work in conjunction with which type of engineer to remove an oil spill from the ocean?

Environmental

This field of engineering is interested in the safety of people, animals and ecosystems.

Automotive

This kind of engineer draws on mechanical, applications, electronic, test and program engineering. Design challenges include emissions laws, shared platforms, performance and consumer demands.

Mechanical

This kind of engineer may design products such as engines, HVAC systems or artificial limbs.

Biomedical

This kind of engineer may design prosthesis or electrical devices like pacemakers.

Genetic

This king of engineering began thousands of years ago.

Mineral and Mining

This type of engineer is involved in the discovery, extraction, and processing of raw materials.

Chemical

This type of engineer may design pharmaceuticals, food products, detergents, plastics, paints, petroleum products, and other substances.

Materials

This type of engineer studies the structure, properties, processes, and performance of the matter used to produce both products and structures.

Civil

This type of engineering includes paying attention to building codes, population, zoning laws, and other cultural factors.

Nuclear

This type of engineering is involved in developing products such as radiation therapy for cancer patients.
