Elon Musk- Engineer, businessman, inventor, genius - four of the many labels oft attached to South African-born Canadian Musk. Founder of SpaceX - which will almost certainly be taking the average joe on holiday to space sooner rather than later - Tesla Motors - electric cars that actually, you know, work - and SolarCity, which provide solar panels for businesses all over the world. Remember the name, but then again, how could you forget one as unusual as that? Archimedes-  The genius from Greece designed stuff to support his home city – Syracuse. He developed techniques to use heat rays and mirrors to burn the ships of their enemies and developed the famous Archimedes’ screw to remove bilge water from ships as well as the block and tackle pulley system. His inventions have been quite useful to his city and the people. He is known as a gifted mathematician, engineer, inventor, astronomer and physicist and has made some of the most influential contributions to the field of engin...

Different Types of Engineering (specifically offered at schools I have an interest in) Marquette- * Walsh- * pre Hope- * Franciscan- * pre Pre- 2-3 years at that school, then 2 at (Dayton, Gannon, CUA) for a Master's degree or bachelors * * * Biomedical Engineering- study biology and medicine to develop technologies related to health care. They develop medical diagnostic machines, medical instruments, artificial organs, joint replacement parts, and prosthetic devices. * * * Civil Engineering- Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways. * * * Computer Engineering- Computer engineering is the design, construction, implementation, and maintenance of computers and computer-controlled equipment fo...

Hey, this is Sara! I will be doing part of my project researching science careers. I am thinking about becoming an engineer, but am not really sure what kind or even if it will actually be what I want to do. I will be checking out the different programs at the colleges I am currently looking at. I will be researching all of the different types of engineering that there are. I enjoyed the math part of both physics and chemistry. I enjoy solving problems using equations that are given or finding the missing variable. I don't actually enjoy some of the hands on building or taking apart, and so I want to figure out if there is a type of engineering that I would enjoy that aligns with the part of math that I find interesting and the problem solving.
