Agricultural engineers design and develop agricultural and food processing equipment, irrigation systems, grain storage facilities, feed mills, and farm structures. Chemical engineers also participate in efforts to maintain a clean environment and to create substitutes for or find ways to preserve our natural resources. These include bridges, roads and highways, dams, high-rise buildings, airports, water treatment centers, industrial manufacturing and processing facilities, and sanitation plants. Many civil engineers hold managerial and supervisory positions in government, industry, construction, and private practice. Others may work in research and teaching.
Computer engineering involves the design, construction, and operation of computer systems.
