Mechanical Engineer
Mechanical engineers research, design, develop, build and test various devices. They often have an innate curiosity about the way things work.
Civil Engineer
Are responsible for the world's most inspiring buildings, bridges and roads, as well as some of the less thrilling – yet no less structurally sound – buildings, bridges and roads.
Environmental Engineer

Cartographer
Cartographers draw maps for a living. And maps are used for more than just atlases. You’ll find them in newspapers, helping readers make sense of a complicated issue. You'll find them on your smartphone, giving you directions for getting from point A to B.
Architect
Architects use their skills in design, engineering, managing, and coordinating to create aesthetically pleasing and safe buildings that serve a purpose. They're artists, but instead of a canvas, they have cities, parks, college campuses, and more to display their work.
