What Kind of An Engineer Am I?

A Friendly Competition

3

I did the process design of the Space Shuttle Environmental Control System to make sure the astronauts have clean air onboard

Chemical Engineer

4

Electrical Engineer

I design and improve data collection devices, such as this Space Travelling Wave Tube that orbits Saturn.

5

Chemical Engineer

I design and supervise the manufacturing of the paper used for the ticker tape parade for the Apollo astronauts.

6

Mechanical Engineer

I design the technology for harnessing renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines, wave energy converters, and ground source heat pumps.

7

Computer Scientist

I built your laptop with better graphics, faster loading, and more memory.

8

Chemical Engineer

I designed the system that purifies and recycles the water on the Space Shuttle

9

Computer Scientist

I created World of Warcraft, Mario, Microsoft Word, and Solitaire.

10

Mechanical Engineer

Not only do I design and build the shuttle’s engine, but I improve the engine’s efficiency so that the shuttle has to carry less fuel.

11

Computer Scientist

I designed a computer network that can monitor and controls all of the shuttle’s electronic equipment.

12

I design safe and efficient processes to manufacture drugs

Chemical Engineer

13

Electrical Engineer

I design the communication system between the shuttle and Mission Control, which includes a 60 ft. radio antenna, multiple satellites, and the ground and on-board equipment.

14

Mechanical Engineer

I’m responsible for ventilating, heating, and air-conditioning this building.

15

Civil Engineer

I designed and built the rocket gantry, which supports the shuttle during launch.

16

I designed the plant that made the synthetic fiber used to make the Space Shuttle’s parachute and space suits

Chemical Engineer

17

Civil Engineer

I am helping to create Chicago’s Deep Tunnel Project, a system of temporary water-holding reservoirs that will help prevent the risk of flooding and reduce the harmful effects of sewage dumped into Lake Michigan.

18

Electrical Engineer

I link all of the shuttle’s electronic equipment to the operating computers so that astronauts can control shuttle operations from the Control Deck at the push of a button.

19

Computer Scientist

I make microchips and microprocessors smaller and smaller and smaller.

20

Civil Engineer

I designed and built the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The bridge is 4,200 ft. long and can withstand 60 mph winds.

21

I designed the fuel cell that powers the space shuttle

Chemical Engineer

22

Computer Scientist

I design the user interface on the shuttle’s computers to convert the complicated electrical signals from the controls into data, prompts, warnings, and commands displayed clearly on a screen.

23

Computer Scientist

I’m responsible for your computer’s operating system.

24

I design, develop, and supervise the process to make billions of Pringles, all exactly the same shape and texture

Chemical Engineer

25

Mechanical Engineer

I design and build cars, as well as heavy equipment and airplanes.

26

Electrical Engineer

I’m responsible for the growing switch from landlines to cell phones.

27

Civil Engineer

I plan and build roads and highways that allow 128 million cars to travel 2.5 trillion miles per year in the U.S.

28

Electrical Engineer

I provide the world with electrical lighting.

29

I design the plants that make the pure hydrogen and oxygen used by the space shuttle’s rockets

Chemical Engineer

30

Computer Scientist

I design programming languages such as Fortran and C++. Thanks to my improvements, you don’t have to type in binary.
