Description
In addition to design and development, many engineers work in testing,
production, or maintenance. These engineers supervise production in
factories, determine the causes of component failure, and test
manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time
and cost to complete projects.
Engineers use computers extensively to produce and analyze designs; to
simulate and test how a machine, structure, or system operates; to
generate specifications for parts; and to monitor product quality and
control process efficiency. Nanotechnology, which involves the
creation of high-performance materials and components by integrating
atoms and molecules, also is introducing entirely new principles to the
design process.
Most engineers specialize. Numerous other specialties are recognized by
professional societies, and each of the major branches of engineering
has numerous subdivisions. Engineers also may specialize in one
industry, such as motor vehicles, or in one type of technology, such as
turbines or semiconductor materials.
