Engineer Technician - Engineering technicians solve technical problems. They build or set up
equipment, conduct experiments, and collect data and calculate results. They might also help to make a
model of new equipment. Some technicians work in quality control, where they check products, do
tests, and collect data.

assemblies, or components, such as electric traction motors and
power electronics.

Industrial Engineer

Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the

optimization of complex processes or systems.

Materials Scientist and

Engineer

Material scientist is a relatively new and very broad field, but it

involves applications from a number of scientific disciplines that
contribute to the creation of new materials. Materials engineers are
responsible for the research, specification, design and development of

materials to advance technologies and products of many kinds.

Mechanical Engineer

The branch of engineering dealing with the design, construction, and

use of machines.

Microsystems Engineer

Microsystems Engineers design, test, and build these itty-bitty devices

that show up in inkjet printers, control the airbags in cars, and can
even monitor blood pressure from within the human body.

Nanosystems Engineer

A nanosystems engineer is someone who works with material that is

roughly 1/100,000 of the width of a single strand of human hair.

Nuclear Engineer

Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the

application of the breakdown (fission) as well as the fusion of atomic
nuclei and/or the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on
the principles of nuclear physics.

Petroleum Engineer

Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the

activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be
either crude oil or natural gas.

Photonics Engineer

Technologies which depend on an understanding of light information

and light energy.

Radio Frequency Engineer

Radio-frequency engineering is a subset of electrical engineering that

deals with devices that are designed to operate in the radio frequency
(RF) spectrum.

Robotics Engineer

Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering,

electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the
design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as
computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information

processing.

People who conduct engineering site audits to collect structural,

electrical, and related site information for use in the design of
residential or commercial solar power systems.

Transportation Engineer

Transportation engineering or transport engineering is the application

of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional
design, operation and management of facilities for any mode
of transportation

Water or Wastewater
Engineer

Wastewater engineering is a type of engineering that comes from civil

engineering and environmental engineering.
