- 8. Engineering Disciplines Major Disciplines • Mechanical • Electrical • Chemical • Civil • Industrial Other Disciplines • Automotive • Aerospace • Agricultural • Biomedical • Computer • Environmental • Materials • Nuclear • Robotics • Safety
- 9. Mechanical Engineering • Concernedwith design, manufacture & operation of a wide range of components, devices, or systems: • microscopic parts (nanotechnology) to gigantic gears • heating, ventilation, refrigeration • manufacturing equipment (tanks, motors, pumps) • laser technology • biomedical applications • automotive industry • computer-aided design, automation, robotics Broadest of all the engineering disciplines in its range of activities
- 10. Chemical Engineering • Gasoline • Plastic • Energy (natural gas, oil heating, coal) • Adhesives • Clothing • Building Materials Applying chemistry to the solution of practical problems
- 11. Electrical Engineering Play arole in almost everything we interact with on a daily basis. They design smaller, cheaper, and better: • cell phones • computers • power systems • appliances • robots Apply specialized skill to the design, manufacture, application, installation, and operation of electrical products and systems.
- 12. Civil Engineering • Createsolutions to cope with: • air quality issues • decaying cities, roadways and bridges • clogged airports and highways • polluted streams, rivers and lakes Design solutions to cope with many of our planet’s most serious problems.
- 13. Industrial Engineering • Designdata processing systems • Integrate activities of finance, engineering and management • Develop systems for planning, cost analysis, production and quality of products Stresses design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, and equipment for the effective production of goods or services in all types of industries
- 14. Good Traits forEngineers • • • • • • • • • • • Enjoy solving problems Like working with other people (strong teamwork skills) Interested in serving human needs Want to make things work better Strive for continual improvement Able to adapt to a changing environment Good communication skills Strong study skills Desire to constantly learn new things Data analysis skills Strong computer skills
- 15. College Entrance Requirements Required AlgebraI & II Geometry Trigonometry Calculus Physics Chemistry Computer Programming Social Studies Foreign Languages Fine Arts/Humanities Highly Recommended – Not Required AP Chemistry AP Physics AP Calculus AP Biology Any Advanced Placement classes really help prepare you for college and in most cases drastically help “lighten your load.”
- 16. College Advice The next2-3 years in high school and especially the following 4-8 years in college drastically impact the quality of your adult life!!!
- 17. Cooperative Education Typically afive year program with alternating periods of book learning (school) and application (work, typically in industry). Year Fall Spring Summer 1 School School School 2 Work Work Work 3 School School School 4 Work Work Work 5 School School School Benefits of a Cooperative Education • Pay for your college education ($36,000/YR or more) • Gain valuable experience, real engineering work • Increase your market value at graduation (considerably) • Usually assures job offer from co-op company • Offers well deserved and beneficial break from school!
