Engineering

Engineering is about solving problems in the simplest and most cost effective

way possible.

What is ENGINEERING about?

o Electrical engineers design, build and maintain electrical control systems, machinery and equipment.

o They design and make electrical equipment for:• The building industry and services, including lighting, heating and

ventilation• Transportation and transport networks• Manufacturing and construction• Production and distribution of power

o There are many sub categories including: electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics

• Electricity has been investigated since the 17th Century but it wasn’t until the 19th that it was commonly used.

• In 1882 Thomas Edison switched on the first major power network that provided electricity to 59 customers in Manhattan.

• The invention of the radio mean that many electrical engineers had access to new technology which lead them to inventing items such as the television and microwave oven.

• The invention of the transistor in 1947 opened many doors leading to the development of the integrated circuit and home computers.

• People who are good at maths, science and IT make the best electrical engineers.

• Electrical engineers need to be able to solve problems, structuring work and working as part of a team.

• To become and electrical engineer you need to have completed a foundation degree in electrical or electronic engineering, or a related subject.

• They sometimes work with very high voltage equipment and must be careful.

Civil EngineeringCivil engineering is a professional engineering that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and natural environment, including roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.

What do civil Engineers do?Civil engineers generally are involved in the design of public works. These include large buildings, roads, bridges, water distribution systems, dams, sewage treatment plants, and flood protection systems, such as levees and seawalls.

What do civil Engineers do?What Civil engineers, and most other engineers do is develop drawings and plans for things. If you want to build a large office building you will need a number of engineers with different specialties. The structural engineer designs the structure, doing calculations to make sure it will stand up to the wind loads, live loads, and earthquake loads, and other loads. Then he selects the sizes and shapes for all the structural components, and makes drawings showing how everything is to be put together.

Future of engineering… o Employment of civil engineers is expected to grow 20% from 2012-

2022.

o Along with increased population, this job growth will be an effect of greater efforts to improve U.S. infrastructure.

o Civil engineers who stay up to date with innovations in science, like nanotechnology and alternative energy, will experience the best employment and promotion opportunities.

o The BLS reported in May 2013 that the median salary earned by civil engineers was $80,770 a year.

MECHANICALENGINEERING

MECHANICALENGINEERING

o It’s the branch of engineering dealing with the design, construction, and use of machines.

o It’s a very diverse topic that consists of the design and manufacturing of anything and everything, big (spacecraft) or small (revolver hammers), in a new and effective way to lower the costs and to please a certain clientele.

MECHANICALENGINEERING

o Another use of Mechanical engineering is to construct an idea or concept put forward by either a different type of engineer, or by a scientist.

oMechanical engineers have to have many skills and attributes; knowledge of forces, how to counteract a specific environment, how to make something aesthetically pleasing, how to creating something with functionality and how to find a way to counter any issues that come up with their product.

MECHANICALENGINEERING

oMechanical engineers work in many industries such as, automotive (cars), aerospace (aeroplanes and spacecraft), computing and electronics, and biotechnology

COMPUTER ENGINEERING

COMPUTER ENGINEERING COMBINES COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING IN ORDER TO DESIGN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY FROM THE VERY SMALL, SUCH AS MICROPROCESSORS, TO THE VERY BIG, SUCH AS SUPERCOMPUTERS.

A COMPUTER ENGINEER IS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER WITH A FOCUS ON DIGITAL LOGIC SYSTEMS, RATHER THAN RADIO FREQUENCY OR POWER ELECTRONICS.

COMPUTER ENGINEERS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE NEW PARTS SMALLER AND BETTER. THEY CAN ALSO WORK ON SOFTWARE.

A COMPUTER SOFTWARE ENGINEER COULD: WRITE THE SOFTWARE THAT CONTROLS THE

MOVEMENT OF ROBOTS. DEVELOP SOFTWARE FOR A GPS SO DRIVERS

DON'T GET LOST. CREATE THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THAT

CONTROLS CHARACTERS IN VIDEO GAMES WRITE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO

COMMUNICATE OVER GREAT DISTANCES.

YOU SHOULD BE A COMPUTER ENGINEER IF YOU: WANT TO KEEP GETTING BETTER AT THINGS

CAN THINK CREATIVELY CAN WORK ON A TEAM OR ALONE CAN BE FOCUSED AND PATIENT ENJOY BIG CHALLENGES CAN USE AND REMEMBER IMPORTANT FACTS AND DETAILS

ARE INTERESTED IN COMPUTER MODELING
