To make things easier, use these features to sort the following opportunities.
- Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineers find safe and affordable ways to transform raw materials into everyday products. We rely on chemical engineers to help manage resources, protect the environment and create products we all depend on.
- Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering combines biology, medicine and engineering. Biomedical engineers develop new equipment and methods to improve the quality of human health, like surgical devices and prosthetics.
- Civil Engineering
Civil engineers design, build, operate and maintain infrastructure projects like roads, buildings, tunnels and bridges. These engineers are valued in many industries.
- Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineers design, build and test the machines that help us in our everyday lives. Their work might involve designing an airplane to make it safer, or creating life-saving medical equipment.
- Computer Science & Software Engineering
Software engineers design the programs we use on computers and smartphones. Any time you make a video call, use social media, or play games online, you’re using programs that were created by a software engineer!
- Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineers develop tools and products that use electricity, and ways to generate and store electricity. They play an important role in the power generation, utilities, transportation and medical technology industries.
- Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineers design systems to produce a product or service in the most effective and efficient way possible, with the least amount of waste.
- Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace engineering focuses on the design, building and controlling of machines that fly above ground, like airplanes, jets and helicopters, as well as spacecraft that travel beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
- Architectural Engineering
Architectural engineering centers on the planning, design, construction and maintenance of buildings and building systems to make sure they are safe, structurally sound, and resilient.
- Manufacturing Engineering
Manufacturing engineers oversee and manage the production processes and systems used to create the products we use every day.
- Marine Engineering
Marine engineering focuses on the building and maintenance of ships, aircraft carriers, submarines, and tankers.
- Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers use concepts from engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to create solutions for environmental problems.
- Nuclear Engineering
Nuclear engineers design nuclear equipment, test the effectiveness of nuclear management systems, and monitor nuclear facility design, construction, and operation practices.
- Mining Engineering
Mining engineers design mines that are capable of the safe and effective removal of important materials, such as coal or gold.
- Petroleum Engineering
Petroleum engineers design and develop various methods for extracting oil and gas from beneath the Earth’s surface, as well as finding new ways to extract oil from pre-existing wells.
