• Software Engineering

These are not the only types of Engineer!

There are many different fields and types of engineering. It would be impossible to talk about them all in class.

Plus, new types of engineering are being developed every year!

Electrical Engineers

Electrical Engineers create, build and develop new pieces of electrical equipment. Any electronic you use was created by an electrical engineer.

Electrical engineers also work to move electricity from power plants into our houses safely. They work with power lines and grids.

Watch the next video to learn more about electrical engineers!

Electrical Engineering

• They may develop new electrical products like gaming consoles, cell phones, and laptops.

• They are essential in creating new ways to save energy and store energy in batteries.

• Many work for the government to maintain and develop powerlines in our country.

• Others work for private companies to develop products like tablets and chargers.

Multiple Choice

What would an electrical engineer NOT be likely to work on?

• Building new cell phones

• Storing energy from solar panels

• Creating new chemical formulas

• Maintaining current electrical systems

Multiple Select

What would an electrical engineer help create? Select ALL that are correct.

• New portable battery packs

• Wireless keyboards or mouse

• Powering new space shuttles and rockets

• Building tunnels for traveling under the ocean

Bioengineering

Bioengineers help solve problems in living organisms. They might help develop new medications or products to help humans live longer.

They could also be developing new processes for growing and harvesting fruits and vegetables.

Watch the next video to learn about a Bioengineer who is working to help diabetics across the world.

Bioengineering

• Often grouped with "Biomedical Engineers"

• These engineers work in a lot of different ways to aid biology.

• They may work with chemical engineers to create new medical treatments and medicines.

• They work with mechanical engineers to create prosthetic limbs like legs and arms.

Watch the next slide to see how bioengineers are working with 3D printers to make incredible prosthetics for kids like you!

Multiple Choice

What does a Bioengineer do?

• Build structures like tunnels and highways.

• Build prosthetics and medical devices

• Develop new ways to store electricity and power

• Build cars

Multiple Choice

Why would a bioengineer work with a chemical engineer?

• To create new medicines or medical devices to help people

• To build new types of explosive devices

• To develop new ways to traveling through space

Open Ended

If you could build a device to help or change human bodies in any way: what would your device do?

Environment Engineer

These engineers use their knowledge of chemistry, biology, and ecology to help our planet.

They focus on developing solutions to environmental problems. Environmental engineers want Earth to be a safer, cleaner place for humans.

Environmental Engineer

Like we studied the Willamette River to make sure it was safe for Salmon earlier this year, Environmental Engineers study different waterways and lakes across the globe.

They work to make sure our activities and our waste is not contaminating and destroying the ecosystems around us.

Multiple Select

What technology would an environmental engineer work on?

• Solar panels

• Wind turbines

• Computer hard drives

• Water filters

• Dams

Multiple Choice

Environmental Engineers typically work by themselves or only with other environmental scientists

• True, they work best with people who study similar things

• False, they need many different types of engineer to complete projects

Software Engineer

If you enjoy playing any type of video game or using the internet in any way, you are benefitting from a software engineer.

These engineers develop websites and write code to build the virtual world online or in games.

Watch the next video to see how a software engineer uses his knowledge to create an Xbox game about hockey.

Software Engineering

• More than just video games, software engineers program our entire lives online.

• Right now, on Quizzizz, you are seeing all the work a software engineer has done to develop this website.

• Software engineers have changed all of our lives through the 2020 year by helping build online formats like this and Zoom and Edpuzzle and even our Google Classrooms!

Multiple Choice

Software Engineers design such things as:

• Circuits and computer chips

• The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco

• Software for computers to use

• Tools, engines, and machines
