Week 2: Civil, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering |
What Do Civil Engineers do?Civil Engineers work on the infrastructure of the city, keeping roads, bridges, energy supply, and water systems all functioning properly and efficiently. On top of this, civil engineers must also improve the infrastructre to meet growing demands, such as the population growth, climate change or other natural disasters. Within civil engineers there are multiple subgroups- environmental, structural, municiapl, transport and geotechnical engineering. Combined, all civil engineers literally shape the world we live in. |
What do Mechanical Engineers do?Mechanical engineers have a whole host of jobs, from developing machines such as a fighter jet to an everday commodity such as the toaster. They typically work in teams to develop these products, and in general improve the quality of life. In summary, practically any common or everday machine/system has involved mechanical engineering which ultimately benefited the ultimate outcome. |
What do Industrial Engineers do?Industrial Engineers combine math and science with engineering to create complex systems and operations. Because these systems are so complex, Industrial Engineers need a wide variety of skills such as communication, design/planning and problem solving. They then use these skills to design things such as facilities and manufacturing, information and control systems. |
