Different Types of Engineering Riley Lewis

Engineers: General Role: ➢ Problem Solvers ➢ Improve manufacturing ➢ 140, 000+ jobs in the next 10 years adding onto 1. 7 million jobs now ➢ Four major types: MECHANICAL (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018) CHEMICAL ELECTRICAL CIVIL

If you can remember one thing. . . Engineering is a great career path for people who enjoy math and science and there are many different types to choose from

Mechanical Engineering ➢ Merriam Webster describes mechanical engineering as “A branch of engineering concerned primarily with the industrial application of mechanics and with the production of tools, machinery, and their products” ➢ Median Wage: $87, 370 ➢ https: //youtu. be/z 2 pa. BY 1 va_M? t=111 (Nevo Projects, 2018) (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018)

Chemical Engineering ➢ “Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that involve the use of fuel, drugs, food, and many other products”- Bureau of Labor Statistics ➢ Median Wage: $104, 910 ➢ Jobs in chemical additive production companies or paint companies (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018)

“There is no one area of chemical engineering that specifically helped me in my career as an astronaut, it was more the general education in engineering. Also, it was a very difficult and rigorous course. So, it made me strong and resourceful”- Astronaut Leroy Chiao (Leroy Chiao, 2019) (AZ Quotes, n. d. )

Electrical Engineering ➢ “Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment. ”- Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018 ➢ Median Wage: $96, 640 ➢ Works with products like circuits (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018)

Civil Engineering ➢ Merriam Webster describes civil engineering as “an engineer whose training or occupation is in the design and construction especially of public works (such as roads or harbors)” ➢ Median Wage: $86, 640 ➢ Burj Khalifa (Norwich University, 2019) ○ 2, 717 feet tall ○ 163 floors (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018)

(Norwich University, 2019)

In conclusion. . . ➢ Engineering is a great career path for people who enjoy math and science and there are many different types to choose from. ➢ Many more additional types to choose from ➢ If you like math and science = try engineering
