Engineers Can Do Anything(Well maybe some things they shouldn’t do?)
• Invent – Develop a new product, system, or process that has never existed before
• Innovate – Improve an existing technological product, system, or method
Create
Build
Conceive
Design
Evaluate
AnalyzeOrchestrate

• An electrical engineer may design a GPS for your vehicle.
• A pharmaceutical/chemical engineer may find a cure for disease.
• A nanotechnology engineer may build probes to destroy cancer cells from with in your body.
• A mechanical engineer may create a robot to discover water on a planet.
• An agricultural engineer may evaluate the effects of global warming on food production.
Engineers Work to Solve Many Kinds of Problems
Engineers make our lives better!
