Software Engineering

by

What’s this career all about?

Software Engineers are the brains behind the computer screen. They apply the principles of computer science to develop software for operating systems, code the computer to perform a specific function, or design, construct, test, and maintain a computer applications software to meet the receiver’s expectations.

What kind of courses do Software Engineers study in school?

  • Computer Security
  • Informatics
  • Systems Design
  • Algorithms

What are some cool projects that Software Engineers get to work on?

  • Create the artificial intelligence that controls video figures like those in The Sims.
  • Develop software for the GPS
  • Write software that controls the habits of robots
  • Coreboot, the campaign for a free BIOS

What are qualities of a Software Engineer?

  • Analytical Aptitude
  • Good mathematical ability
  • Logical
  • Sympathetic to end-users

How do Software Engineers contribute to making the world a better place?

Without computer software engineers, we wouldn’t have any software for computers! We wouldn’t have Microsoft, Apple, Google, YouTube, any of it! These engineers create everything that we have on our computers, phones, tablets; without them, we wouldn’t have any of these. These engineers make the world a better place by creating software for computers to make our lives easier. Imagine how much harder it would be to, say, write a research paper, without the use of the internet and Microsoft Word!

Mechanical Engineering

What’s this career all about?

A Mechanical Engineer is someone who applies physics and mathematics to design, develop, build, and test mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineers can create machines such as the sophisticated computer-controlled robot to human devices such as hip implants.

What kind of courses do Mechanical Engineers study in school?

  • Manufacturing and Design
  • Mechatronics and Systems
  • Fluid Mechanics
  • Thermal Dynamics
  • Circuits, Electronics & Experimentation

What are some cool projects that Mechanical Engineers get to work on?

  • Designing and building an airplane engine
  • Designing cool toys for kids
  • Designing and manufacturing fossil fuel-free cars that are equally efficient motor vehicles

What are qualities of a Mechanical Engineer?

    • Spatial Perception
    • Analytical
    • Good communication skills
    • Realistic
  • Creative

How do Mechanical Engineers contribute to making the world a better place?

Mechanical Engineers have touched almost everything that we experience in our daily lives — from refrigerators to cars to medicine — they have devised the systems needed in this technologically dependent culture.

Mechanical engineers are problem solvers that take their knowledge of math and science and create solutions to improve our lives and make the world a better place. When you think of a mechanical engineer, usually cars come to mind but they also have a huge part in the medical industry as they make human devices such as prosthetic hands that allow a person to type and write.
