QUESTIONS STUDENTS ASK MOST ABOUT ENGINEERING

• What is engineering?
• What is the career outlook for engineers?
• What type of education do I need to become an
  engineer?
• What type of academic background do I need to get
  into engineering school?
• How do I select a quality engineering school?
• How open is engineering to women?

11
WHAT IS ENGINEERING?

• Engineering is the art of applying scientific
  and mathematical principles, experience,
  judgment, and common sense to make things that
  benefit people. Engineers design bridges and
  important medical equipment as well as processes
  for cleaning up toxic spills and systems for mass
  transit. In other words, engineering is the
  process of producing a technical product or
  system to meet a specific need.

12

• Engineers have many different types of jobs to
  choose from, including research, design,
  analysis, development, testing, and sales
  positions. If you are interested in discovering
  new knowledge, you might consider a career as a
  research engineer. If you are imaginative and
  creative, design engineering may be for you. The
  work of analytical engineers most closely
  resembles what you do in your mathematics and
  science classes. If you like laboratory courses
  and conducting experiments, look into becoming a
  development engineer. Sales engineering could be
  a good choice if you are persuasive and like
  working with people.

13
WHAT IS THE CAREER OUTLOOK FOR ENGINEERS?

• An engineering degree also opens doors to other
  careers. Many engineering graduates have moved
  into other professions such as medicine, law and
  business where their engineering background has
  been a valuable asset.

14
WHAT TYPE OF EDUCATION DO I NEED TO BECOME AN
ENGINEER?
Your will need a bachelors degree in
engineering, which takes four to five years.
15
WHAT TYPE OF ACADEMIC BACKGROUND DO I NEED TO GET
INTO ENGINEERING SCHOOL?
Its pretty obvious that you will need good
grades, particularly in mathematics and science,
to be considered for enrollment in a course of
study as demanding as engineering. But you do
not need to be a genius. Ideally you should
rank in the top one-third of your secondary
school class and certainly in the top half.
16
Because engineers spend much of their time
solving problems, a strong engineering candidate
should enjoy problem solving and excel at it.
Enrich your problem solving know-how by taking as
many math courses as your school offers,
including laboratory science courses such as
chemistry and physics. Most engineering
institutions expect you to have good grades in
the following Mathematics, Additional
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English
and social studies. Because engineers convey
ideas graphically and may need to visualize
products or processes in three dimensions,
courses in graphics, drafting, or design are
helpful as well.
17
HOW DO I SELECT A QUALITY ENGINEERING SCHOOL?
A solid engineering school emphasizes good
teaching, is known for its accomplished faculty
members, and often conducts important engineering
research. In addition, good engineering programs
are BOARD OF ENGINEER MALAYSIA (BEM) accredited,
meaning they meet the minimum education standards
set by the Accrediation Board for Engineering.
Graduate schools as well as employers in industry
and the federal government all attach great
weight to BEM accreditation. It is important to
note that BEM accredits disciplines, not faculty
within an engineering faculty some fields may be
accredited while others are not.
18
HOW OPEN IS ENGINEERING TO WOMEN?

• Today, women comprise 40 percent of first-year
  engineering students. Women are attracted to
  engineering in growing numbers for the same
  reasons the field draws men it promises
  challenging, interesting work and high pay. In
  recent years, universities and industries have
  increased their efforts to welcome women into
  engineering.

19
WHY STUDY ENGINEERING WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

• Engineering offers a rewarding and lucrative
  career - one in which you can use your mind to
  find creative solutions to the challenges facing
  our society. Top 10 rewards and opportunities
  that an engineering career offers.
• 1. Job Satisfaction
• 2. Variety of Career Opportunities
• 3. Challenging Work
• 4. Intellectual Development
• 5. Potential to Benefit Society
• 6. Financial Security
• 7. Prestige
• 8. Professional Environment
• 9. Technological and Scientific Discovery
• 10. Creative Thinking

20
1. JOB STATISFACTION

• Studies show that, by far, the number-one cause
  of unhappiness among people is job
  dissatisfaction. Thus, it is important to find a
  career that provides you with enjoyment and
  satisfaction. After all, you might spend 40 or so
  years working eight hours or more a day, five
  days a week, 50 weeks a year. Do you want to
  dislike every minute of that time, or would you
  rather do something that you enjoy?

21
2. VARIETY OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

• An engineering degree offers a wide range of
  career possibilities. Within the practice of
  engineering, there is an enormous variety of job
  functions.
• If you are imaginative and creative, design
  engineering may be for you.
• If you like laboratories and conducting
  experiments, you might consider test engineering.
• If you like to organize and expedite projects,
  look into being a development engineer.
• If you are persuasive and like working with
  people, consider a career in sales or field
  service engineering.

22
The analytical skills and technological
expertise you develop as an engineering student
can also be put to use in many other fields. For
example, as an engineering graduate, you could go
on to study medicine or law. You could become a
politician and use your knowledge of technology
and science to set important national policy.
You could also become an entrepreneur in a
related field such as construction,
manufacturing, or consulting. Or you could
combine engineering and business skills in a
career as a technical manager or a salesperson
for a high-tech company.
23
3. CHALLENGING WORK
If you like challenges, engineering could be for
you. In the engineering work world, there is no
shortage of challenging problems. Any
engineering manager will tell you that he or she
has a huge backlog of problems that need to be
solved. Generally, real world engineering
problems are quite different from most of the
problems you will solve in school. In school,
most problems have a single, correct answer.
When you get open-ended. There will be no single
answer, no answer in the back of the book, no
professor to tell you that you are right or
wrong. You will be required to devise a solution
and persuade others that your solution is the
best one.
24
4. INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
An engineering education will exercise your
brain, developing your ability to think logically
and to solve problems. These are skills that
will be valuable throughout your life-and not
only when you are solving engineering problems.
For example, your problem-solving skills can help
you undertake tasks such as planning a vacation,
finding a job, organizing a fund-raiser, purchase
a house or writing a book.
25
5. BENEFIT SOCIETY
Just about everything that engineers do benefits
society. Engineers develop transportation
systems that help people and products move about
easily. Engineers design the buildings that we
live and work in, the systems that deliver our
water and electricity, the machinery that
produces our food, and the medical equipment that
keeps us healthy. Depending upon your value
system, you may not view all things that
engineers do as benefiting people. For example,
engineers design military equipment like
missiles, tanks, bombs, artillery, and fighter
airplanes. Engineers are also involved in the
production of pesticides, cigarettes, liquor,
fluorocarbons, and asbestos.
26
As an engineer, however, you can choose to work
on projects that clearly benefit society, such as
cleaning up the environment, developing
prosthetic aids for disabled persons, developing
clean and efficient transportation systems,
finding new sources of energy, alleviating the
worlds hunger problems, and increasing the
standard of living in underdeveloped countries.
27
6. FINANCIAL SECURITY
While financial security should not be your only
reason for choosing a career in engineering, if
you decide to become an engineer you will be will
paid. Engineering graduates receive the highest
starting salary on any discipline.
7. PRESTIGE
Engineers play a primary role in sustaining our
nations international competitiveness,
maintaining our standard of living, ensuring a
strong national security, and protecting public
safety. Furthermore, most people know that
engineering requires hard work and strong
technical skills. As a member of such a
respected profession, you will receive a high
amount of prestige.
28
8. PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT
As an engineer, you will work in a professional
environment in which you will be treated with
respect and have a certain amount of freedom in
choosing your work. You will be also be in a
position to influence what happens at your
company. In most cases, you will receive
adequate work space and the tools you need to do
your work, including the latest computer hardware
and sofware. You will probably also receive the
secretarial and technical support staff you need
to get your work done. After all, your employer
will benefit from making sure you have what you
need to do a good job.
29
Most likely, you will not be required to punch a
time clock. Rather, you will be judged on your
productivity--on the quality and quantity of your
work. You can usually expect to receive an
annual merit salary increase, which will be based
on your managers evaluation of your
performance. You will have the opportunity to
learn and grow through both on-the-job training
and formal training. Often, your immediate
supervisor will closely mentor you and help you
tackle progressively more challenging tasks. You
will learn from experienced engineers in your
organization and will be offered seminars and
short courses to increase your knowledge.
30
Most likely, your employer will have an
educational reimbursement program that will pay
for you to take classes toward a graduate degree
or for professional development. As a
professional, you will receive liberal benefits,
which will typically include a retirement plan,
life insurance, health insurance, sick leave,
paid vacation, holidays, and savings or
profit-sharing plans.
31
9. TECHNOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
Do you know why golf balls have dimples on them?
Do you understand how the loads are transmitted
to the supports on a suspension bridge? Do you
know what a laser is or how a computer works?
When you drive on a mountain road, do you look at
the guard rails and understand why they were
designed the way they were? Do you know why
split-level houses experience more damage in
earthquakes? An engineering education can help
you understand how these and many other education
can help you understand how these, and many other
things in the world, work.
32
Furthermore, an understanding of technology will
provide you with a better understanding of many
issues facing our society. For example Why
dont we have zero-emission electric vehicles
rather that highly polluting cars powered by
internal combustion engines? Should we have
stopped building nuclear reactors? What will we
use for energy when oil runs out? Is it
technically feasible to develop a Star Wars
defense system that will protect us against
nuclear attack? Can we produce enough food to
eliminate world hunger? Do high-voltage power
lines cause cancer in people who live or play
near them?
33
10. CREATIVE THINKING
Engineering is by its very nature a crative
profession. When practicing engineers develop
solutions to open-ended, real-world problems,
they must employ conscious and subconscious
mental processing as well as divergent and
convergent thinking. Because we are in a time of
rapid social and technological changes, the need
for engineers to think creatively is greater now
than ever before. Only through creativity can we
cope with and adapt to these changes. If you
like to question, explore, invent, discover, and
create, then engineering could be the ideal
profession for you.
34

processing equipment construct crop storage and
livestock buildings and develop systems for
drainage, irrigation, and waste disposal.
Sometimes agricultural engineers work in labs
like EPCOTs Land Pavilion, where they experiment
with promising indoor farming techniques such as
hydroponics-the science of growing plants in
fluids without dirt.
37
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING
Working alongside architects, architectural
engineers focus on the safety, cost, and
construction methods of designing a building.
BIOENGINEERING/BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Bioengineering combines biology and engineering.
Some of these engineers work closely with
biologists and medical doctors to develop medical
instruments, artificial organs, and prosthetic
devices. Others investigate questions that
involve technology and humans such as How does
working with computers all day affect ones
health.
38
CERAMIC ENGINEERING
Ceramic engineers direct processes that convert
clay, nonmetallic minerals, or silicates to
ceramic products such as automobile parts, tiles
on space shuttles, and solar panels.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical engineering involves the processing and
treating of liquids and gases. For example, some
chemical engineers are studying ways to
desalinate seawater-stripping it of salt to make
the water safe to drink. Many chemical engineers
work with petroleum and plastics, although both
of these are the subject of independent
disciplines. The term environmental
engineering also applies to certain areas of
chemical engineering, such as pollution control.
39
CIVIL ENGINEERING
One of the largest branches of engineering,
civil engineering is a field that deals with
buildings, bridges, dams, roads, and other
structures. Civil engineers plan, design, and
supervise the construction of facilities such as
high-rise buildings, airports, water treatment
centers, and sanitation plants. Civil engineers
will need to design the special rail beds for the
magnetic levitation trains of tomorrow. Soon we
will be able to travel on these environmentally
safe and efficient trains from coast to coast at
200-300 miles per hour.
40
COMPUTER/SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Computer engineers deal with all aspects of
computer systems including design, construction,
and operation. Some computer engineers
specialize in areas like digital systems,
operating systems, computer networks, and
software. For example, we rely on computer
engineers to design the software for a computer
simulation that will test stress points in a
bridge before it is built.
41
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Electrical engineering, the discipline that
employs the largest number of engineers, covers
everything related to electrical devices,
systems, and the use of electricity. Electrical
engineers work on power plants, computers, and
other electrical devices. Electrical engineers
are designing the dashboard computers that will
monitor engine functions on automobiles of the
future.
42
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Environmental engineers assist with the
development of water distribution systems,
recycling methods, sewage treatment plants, and
other pollution prevention and control systems in
the water, air, and land. Environmental
engineers constantly seek new ways to reduce air
pollution and pesticides.
43
FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING
Fire protection engineers design systems and
equipment that prevent or combat fire. Engineers
in this field are also concerned with the fire
safety of structures.
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Industrial engineers organize the people,
information, energy, materials, and machines
involved in the production process. They are
concerned with plant design and management,
quality control, and the human factors of
engineering. Industrial engineers perform tasks
such as finding the best location for a high-tech
companys new plant.
44
MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING
Manufacturing engineers design tools and
equipment and work with all aspects of
manufacturing-from production control and
materials handling to mechanization and
automation. Manufacturing engineers design the
sensitive equipment that make vaccines. These
specialists also improve manufacturing systems,
enabling the United States to stay competitive
with other industrialized nations.
45
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineers use mechanics and energy
principles to design machines such as engines and
motors. Many mechanical engineers work in the
areas of air-conditioning and refrigeration,
automotives, manufacturing, welding, and
robotics. They designed the robotically
controlled braces that people with disabilities
use to walk.
46
METALLURGY AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Metallurgical and materials engineers extract,
process, refine, combine, and manufacture natural
substances to create new materials that are
stronger and resist corrosion. Metallurgical
engineers work with metal only. Teams of
metallurgy and materials engineers created the
U.S Air Forces stealth technology that makes a
fighter planes surface nearly invisible to
radar.
47
MINERAL AND MINING ENGINEERING
Mineral and mining engineers locate, remove, and
appraise minerals they find in the earth. Mining
engineers lay out the mines, supervise their
construction, create a materials transportation
system, and return the area to its natural state
upon mining completion. Mineral and mining
engineers need to know how to mine the natural
wealth underground without destroying the land
above or disrupting the people that live on it.
48
NUCLEAR ENGINEERING
Nuclear engineers design, develop, and control
plants that use nuclear energy for fuel and
medical purposes.
OCEAN ENGINEERING
Ocean engineers direct the exploration and
utilization of the oceans resources. Their work
is closely tied to petroleum and civil
engineering. For example, ocean engineers might
focus attention on underwater oil or gas
exploration (petroleum engineering tasks), or
they might design structures such as offshore
drilling platforms, harbor facilities, and
underwater machines (civil engineering tasks).
49
TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
Transportation engineers design streets,
highways, and other transit systems that allow
people and goods to move safely and efficiently.
For example, before constructing a new sports
stadium, city officials rely on transportation
engineers to plan traffic patterns that will
prevent major tie-ups after the game.
50
ASSESS YOURSELF!
If you are wondering whether engineering is the
career path for you, check out the following Do
You Fit The Profile?
1. Do you get good grades in math and science? 2.
Do you enjoy knowing how things work? 3. Do you
ever think of new or better ways to do
things? 4. If you get a gift says Assembly
Required do you put it together yourself? 5. Do
you like to work with computers and play video
games?
51
6. Do you like to do mazes and jigsaw puzzles?.
7. Do you usually make sound decisions and do
people trust your judgement? 8. Can you express
yourself easily and clearly? 9. Do you work well
with others? 10. Do you like to know why? If
you answered Yes to many or most questions,
your potential for success in engineering is
high. Each of the above questions is important
for the following reasons
52
1. Math and science are basic tools in
engineering. 2. Wanting to know how it works is
essential to finding better ways to design
things. 3. The desire to figure things out and
do it better is an important drive in
engineers. 4. See No. 3 5. Computers and video
games provide an introduction to working with
graphics as well as to problem-solving. 6. Analyti
cal problem solving, the skill you use when
working on mazes and puzzles, is among the most
important aspects of engineering work.
53
7. As an engineers, your ability to focus on the
problem at hand and make knowledgeable comments
and decisions will help you gain respect and will
make you a valuable member of the engineering
team. 8. Engineers must be able to explain ideas
and decisions to all audiences. 9. Engineers
work with technologists and technicians as a
team. They must be able to work with people who
have different backgrounds and special
interests. 10. Wanting to know how things work is
something that drives all engineers. This
curiosity encourages engineers to break complex
problems into more simple ones that will be
easier to handle.
