Fall20 Engineering Occupations

Front

This field of engineering, formerly called sanitary engineering, involves the safety of people, animals, and ecosystems. Air pollution, waste management, radiation protection, and water management are some of the areas studied in this field.

Back

Environmental

Front

This type of engineering is involved in developing products such as power generation facilities, and radiation therapy for cancer patients.

Back

Nuclear

Front

These engineers are involved in crude oil deposit exploration, the removal of oil, and the transportation and refining of oil. This includes the design of drilling equipment, pipeline transportation systems, and the processes to refine the oil.

Back

Petroleum

Front

This engineer studies the structure, properties, processes, and performance of the matter used to produce both products and structures. Examples include ceramics, plastics, metals, and composites.

Back

Materials

Front

These engineers analyze the process of mass-producing a product. They are responsible for plant layout, material handling, scheduling, quality control, reliability control, and cost production optimization.

Back

industrial

Front

This engineer may design pharmaceuticals, food products, detergents, plastics, paints, petroleum products, etc.

Back

Chemical

Front

These engineers design the tools, processes, and equipment needed to produce products.

Back

Manufacturing

Front

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

Back

automotive

Front

This engineer may design prostheses, chemical processes to make artificial organs function, or electrical devices like pacemakers.

Back

Biomedical

Front

This type of engineering began thousands of years ago through the breeding of animals and the selective cultivation of plants. Cloning and mapping of the human genome are two notable developments in this field.
