...The Weights and Scales of Engineering Choosing which career paths to take in life can sometimes prove to be a challenge, it’s always a good idea to weigh your options and try to narrow your choices down to a select few. It’s important to look at the similarities and differences between which careers you’re interested in. For someone like myself that’s interested in an engineering degree there are a lot of different things to consider. While there are several different types of engineering degrees presently made available to college students, two of the most common are civil and mechanical engineering. Although some believe that a civil engineering degree is the most practical route to go, I believe stability wise that the mechanical field is the better fitting degree, not only for the student, but for the economy and also world. Civil engineering is a field of study that deals with the design, planning, construction, maintenance, and upkeep of society's infrastructure. This field has also been referred to as “building science”. Civil engineers work with dirt, gravel, concrete buildings, bridges and construction. This field is the second oldest engineering discipline. Most of the civil engineers work is done on the work site, outside, and sometimes even in the harsh weather element. This job is definitely not for someone that doesn’t like to be outdoors or to be outside of an office environment. With the range of work options being narrowed to strictly outdoor structures...

...Mechanical Engineers Mechanical Engineers are often what people picture when they hear the word engineer. This is partly because mechanical engineering is known as the engineering discipline with the broadest applications. Whether it is roller coasters, car engines, or computer keyboards, it is likely that a mechanical engineer was involved in its design. To be more specific, mechanical engineers work with any process involving moving parts. This includes the motor that pulls the rollercoaster car up track, the axles that allow cars to drive down the road and so much more. Mechanical engineers design every part of the piece of machinery so that it can perform the intended task efficiently. Performing tests to calculate how large a piston in an engine needs to be to produce a certain amount of power is one example of a task that may be assigned to a mechanical engineer. One notable innovation in the automotive industry is the Tesla Model S sedan, one of a few successful electric cars in the past few years. Featuring a range of over 200 miles and the handling of a sport sedan, the electric Model S is able to outperform its gasoline powered rivals in many ways. One notable area is safety. The mechanical engineers designed the frame so that it received a near perfect score in every crash safety test conducted by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Association (See Figure 1). This has set a new standard for not only electric vehicles, but all vehicles to ensure safety in the...

...Engineering Overview The Field Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers design products, machinery to build those products, plants in which those products are made, and the systems that ensure the quality of the products and the efficiency of the workforce and manufacturing process. Engineers design, plan, and supervise the construction of buildings, highways, and transit systems. They develop and implement improved ways to extract, process, and use raw materials, such as petroleum and natural gas. They develop new materials that both improve the performance of products and take advantage of advances in technology. They harness the power of the sun, the Earth, atoms, and electricity for use in supplying the Nation's power needs, and create millions of products using power. They analyze the impact of the products they develop or the systems they design on the environment and on people using them. Engineering knowledge is applied to improving many things, including the quality of healthcare, the safety of food products, and the operation of financial systems.
