Research should be made from the principal fields for specialization in engineering, including
- aerospace
- agricultural
- architectural
- bioengineering/biomedical
- chemical
- civil
- computer
- electrical
- engineering managerial
- environmental
- general
- industrial
- manufacturing
- marine/oceans
- materials
- mechanical
- mining
- naval architectural/nautical
- nuclear
- petroleum
- Safety
- software
- systems.
Research should also include a comparison of academic, government, and sales/technical service careers within these fields.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What does an engineer do?
- What field of specialization is of particular interest? Why?
- Why would a nuclear engineer require different skills/knowledge/behaviors than a software engineer?
- How do engineering careers differ in academics? In government? In sales/technical services?
