Engineers are able to apply scientific and mathematical knowledge to solve problems and create new processes and products. They design and develop tools, toys, furniture, computers, and other manufactured products we use every day. Other engineers improve our buildings, roads and vehicles and can also develop systems to clean our water, process our food and recycle our waste. The most popular engineering professions include defense, space, food and beverage, energy, environmental, pharmaceutical, construction and marine.
