T ransportation engineers are designing the mega-highways, soaring bridges, and amazing
tunnels of tomorrow.
Structural engineers are creating gleaming downtown skyscrapers and futuristic stadiums.
Mechanical and electrical engineers are devising new power sources to meet our growing
energy demand.
Environmental engineers are protecting our water, air and land resources.
Engineers are designing habitats of all kinds for the world’s people.
They are helping industries and communities become environmentally sustainable for future
generations.
Engineers are also America’s astronauts, presidents and politicians, inventors, business leaders,

How do you know that
engin ee ri n g is r ig ht fo r y o u ?
H ave you ever built a paper airplane or balsa glider? Wondered how a power plant functions?
Or how tall buildings can keep getting taller? If you think about how and why things work
in the world around you, you have a mindset for engineering.
Leonardo da Vinci designed machines ahead of his time, from lifting cranes to helicopters.
Filippo Brunelleschi designed the largest dome of its day for the Cathedral of Florence, Italy,
without using temporary supports. John Roebling designed the largest suspension bridge of his
time — the Brooklyn Bridge—using unique twisted wire-rope cable.
Engineers are always conquering the next frontier, applying new knowledge and cutting-edge
technologies and building a better world for tomorrow.

creatively.
S ome physical world challenges are so large—or so nano-technologically small—that
engineers approach them from every imaginable angle. By re-sizing and re-framing for
a fresh viewpoint, original solutions are born: a retractable roof (or retractable field) on a new
stadium, a magnetic levitation train, or a fish ladder to bypass dams.
