Igniting imagination and innovation

Engineers are changing the world all of the time. They dream up creative, practical solutions and work with teams of smart, inspiring people to invent, design, and create things that matter.

What is engineering?

Engineers use their imagination and analytical skills to invent, design, and build things that matter.

They are team players with independent minds who ask, “How can we develop a better

recycling system to protect the environment, design a school that can withstand an earthquake, or create

cutting-edge special effects for the movies?” By dreaming up creative and practical solutions, engineers are changing the world all the time.
