Engineers

 Engineers….
 are creative and analytical
 enjoy problem solving
 are interested in cutting edge technology

 Engineers make new things and make old

things better.
Think about this …
Sneakers

 A scientist was involved in the creation

of the sneakers on your feet!
 A scientist was involved in the
manufacturing of the sneakers you
wear!
 A scientist was involved in the
development of the products your
sneakers are made of!
PRINGLES

 What careers in science could possibly be

related to Pringles?
Stacked Potato Chips

 Did you ever wonder why Pringles are always

in tact (not broken) and full of flavor?
 A scientist is responsible for great-tasting
chips!
Potato Chips
Pizza Anyone?

 Ever think about the pizza you eat?

 Did you know that the creation of the
pizza you eat involved a career in
science?
 That the oven your pizza was cooked in
is a technological system created by a
scientist?
Sports Cars

 Who wouldn’t want a sports car?

 Engineering

 Engineers are applied scientists.

 They apply scientific
knowledge to practical
problems.

 1.5million pass outs every year

 3,345 colleges in India
 Engineering

 “Scientists discover the world that exists;

engineers create the world that never was.”
 Theodore Von Karman (aerospace engineer)

 Engineers turn scientific discoveries into

useful products.
 Engineering Technicians
 assist engineers and scientists

 Compared to engineers, their work

is….
 more practical
 less theoretical
 narrower in scope

 43% of technicians work in

electronics
 Engineering Fields

 The field of engineering offers more options

than any other discipline!

 Each type of engineering field needs:

 technicians
 engineers
 research and development engineers
Mechanical / Aerospace
 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers
design and develop machines

 Mechanical Engineers:
 air conditioning and refrigeration
 automotives
 robotics
 Aerospace Engineers:
 commercial airplanes
 fighter jets
 space telescopes & space ships
Civil / Architectural
Engineers
 Civil Engineering is one of the
largest branches in
engineering
 bridges
 dams
 roads
 Architectural Engineers work
alongside Architects
 building structure
 ventilation
 lighting
 Chemical / Environmental

 Chemical Engineers turn raw

materials into products
 pharmaceuticals
 petroleum
 plastics
 make-up
 Environmental Engineers
prevent and fix environmental
problems
 reduce air pollution
 reduce use of pesticides
 Electrical / Computer

 Electrical engineers move

information from place to place
 cellphones
 satellite transmissions
 television
 Computer engineers deal with
design and operation of computer
systems
 networks
 software
 hardware
Bio / Biomedical
 A relatively new field of engineering
 Bioengineers bring engineering into
the fields of biology and medicine
 medical instruments
 artificial organs
 prosthetic devices
 Industrial / Management

 Industrial Engineers make the

production process work more
safely and economically

 Engineering Managers administer

large engineering projects and
budgets

 Engineering

 There is a lot of crossover between the

different fields.

 There are many options in engineering.

 Who knows what new and exciting

subfields will develop!
 If you forget everything
else, remember this!
 The skills you develop in science classes are
VERY widely applicable and valuable.
 Satisfying, well-paying jobs in science and
engineering are available at ALL levels of
education.
 Attempting higher degrees opens many more
doors for interesting jobs and higher pay.

If you don’t do it, who will be the engineers and

scientists in the future?
