QUESTIONS STUDENTS ASK MOST ABOUT ENGINEERINGWhat 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?

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.

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.

WHAT IS THE CAREER OUTLOOKFOR 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Satisfaction2. Variety of Career Opportunities3. Challenging Work 4.Intellectual Development5.Potential to Benefit Society6.Financial Security7.Prestige8.Professional Environment9.Technological and Scientific Discovery10.Creative Thinking

1.JOB STATISFACTIONStudies 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?

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.

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.

3.CHALLENGING WORKIf 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.

4.INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENTAn 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.

5.BENEFIT SOCIETYJust 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.

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.

6.FINANCIAL SECURITYWhile 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.PRESTIGEEngineers 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.

8.PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTAs 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.

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.

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.

9.TECHNOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERYDo 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.

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?

10.CREATIVE THINKINGEngineering 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.

THE ENGINEERING DISCIPLINESCareeres in engineering span the alphabet. From aerospace to manufacturing to transportation engineering, no other career field offers young men and women such a wide choice of options.Here is a partial listing of these disciplines:Aerospace EngineeringAgricultural EngineeringArchitectural EngineeringBioengineering/Biomedical EngineeringCeramic EngineeringChemical Engineering

Civil EngineeringComputer EngineeringElectrical EngineeringEnvironmental EngineeringFire Protection EngineeringIndustrial EngineeringManufacturing EngineeringMechanical EngineeringMetallurgy and Materials EngineeringMineral and Mining EngineeringNuclear EngineeringOcean EngineeringTransportation Engineering

AEROSPACE ENGINEERINGAerospace engineering design and develop technology for commercial aviation, the national defense, and space exploration.AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERINGAgricultural engineers design farm and food 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.

ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERINGWorking alongside architects, architectural engineers focus on the safety, cost, and construction methods of designing a building.BIOENGINEERING/BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERINGBioengineering 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.

CERAMIC ENGINEERINGCeramic 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 ENGINEERINGChemical 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.

CIVILENGINEERINGOne 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.

COMPUTER/SOFTWAREENGINEERINGComputer 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.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERINGElectrical 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERINGEnvironmental 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.

FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERINGFire 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 ENGINEERINGIndustrial 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.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERINGManufacturing 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.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERINGMechanical 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.

METALLURGY AND MATERIALS ENGINEERINGMetallurgical 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.

MINERAL AND MINING ENGINEERINGMineral 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.

NUCLEAR ENGINEERINGNuclear engineers design, develop, and control plants that use nuclear energy for fuel and medical purposes.OCEAN ENGINEERINGOcean 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).

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERINGTransportation 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.
