Of particular interest to the prospective student are the more than 280 SWE Student Sections, located across the nation at four year colleges and universities with recognized schools of engineering and engineering technology. SWE also administers several college level scholarship programs, including some for entering freshmen and one for a re-entry student. Since engineering disciplines are ever changing, an inclusive list of all engineering fields cannot be presented here. For example, as results of societal pressures. A partial list of curren t fields follows.
Aeronautical engineers study.
Aerospace engineers study, design, and evaluate flight systems and aero-vehicles for use in terrestrial atmosphere and in outer space. Agricultural engineers study and evaluate applications of engineering technology to agricultural problems. They design farm machinery, structures, and equipment, and they plan and supervise manufacturing, construction. and installation Ceramic engineers study, design, and evaluate chemical processes and manufacturing plants which produce bricks, glass. and pottery. Chemical engineers study, design, and evaluate the commercial processes for producing the chemical or physical transformation of substances, such as petroleum derivatives, metals, food, and synthetic materials, and they plan and supervise the manufacturing plant and its construction, operation, and maintenance. Civil engineers study, design, and evaluate large structures such as bridges, dams, roads.
