Electrical Engineers

• Electrical engineers take energy from various sources and move it to homes, factories and businesses. They design and work with TV’s, cell phones, and satellite transmissions.

Mechanical Engineers

• Mechanical engineers design and develop machines of all sizes. They also influence products such as doors and shoes. Some mechanical engineers work in robotics, automotives, and air conditioning.

Environmental Engineers

• Environmental engineers prevent environmental damage and fix existing problems. They look for new ways to reduce pollution and keep modern society earth friendly.

Mining Engineers
