CAREERS FOR CREATIVE
Engineering
Industrial Engineers / Technicians
find ways to eliminate wastefulness in production processes. They devise efficient systems that integrate workers, machines, materials, information, and energy to make a product or provide a service.
Mechanical Engineers / Technicians
one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines.
Drafting
use software to convert the designs of engineers and architects into technical drawings. Most workers specialize in architectural, civil, electrical or mechanical drafting and use technical drawings to help design everything form microchips to skyscrapers.
Electro-Mechanical Technicians/Mechatronics
combine knowledge of mechanical technology with knowledge of electrical and electronic circuits. They operate, test, and maintain unmanned, automated, robotic, or electromechanical equipment.
Agricultural Engineers
attempts to solve agricultural problems concerning power supplies, the efficiency of machinery, the use of structures and facilities, pollution and environmental issues, and the storage and processing of agricultural products.
Electrical and Electronics Engineers / Technicians
design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, and power generation equipment.
Chemical Engineers
apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food and many other products.
Civil Engineers / Technicians
design, build, supervise, operate, and maintain construction projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment.
Environmental Engineers / Technicians
use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in efforts to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control.
Aerospace Engineers / Technicians
design primarily aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design.
Health and Safety Engineers
