Engineering is Fascinating!
Engineering offers more career options than any other discipline. It's a profession that can take you from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space, from within the microscopic structures of the human cell to the top of the tallest skyscrapers. Whether it’s a cell phone, digital camera, DVD or facial recognition devices that can pick out a terrorist in a crowded football stadium, engineers are behind almost all of today’s exciting technology. Engineers are problem solvers who search for quicker, better, and less expensive ways to use the force and materials of nature to meet today’s challenges. Engineering students have their pick of many fields. From electrical to civil to aeronautical to biomedical, every discipline within engineering will lead to an exciting and rewarding career.
It is helpful to have the following traits: intellectual curiosity, technical aptitude, a solid mathematical and scientific foundation, interest in solving problems, perseverance, the ability to work accurately and systematically, and a basic understanding of the economics and environmental context in which engineering is practiced. The ability to work in unusual locations, and the ability to work under pressure to meet deadlines or to solve problems can be valuable. Students should develop effective communication and intepersonal skills; cultivate opportunities to participate as a team member on job projects; and master relevant computer programs.
