Engineers are involved in almost everything we see. Can you give an example?

Engineers apply knowledge of math, science, and technology.

Engineers are curious about how things work or are put together.

Engineers from all over the area have come together to talk about what they do. Some design buildings, robots, or roads; others work with chemicals; and still others work locally at Hanford or in the Tri-Cities.

In the Tri-Cities area, engineers are inventing, designing, and building instruments that help people do their jobs better and safer.
