  1. Engineering may be right for you!

  2. You say you want to change the world? • Then a career in engineering is for you! • Engineers tackle society’s most challenging problems– from pollution to energy and water shortages to transportation gridlock. • More than any other profession, engineering advance the well-being and progress of mankind.

  3. Engineers do awesome things • Transportation engineers are designing the mega highways, soaring bridges and amazing tunnels of tomorrow. • Structural engineers are creating gleaming downtown skyscrapers and futuristic stadiums.

  4. Engineers do MORE awesome things • Environmental engineers are protecting our water, air and land resources. • Engineers are helpingindustries and communities become environmentally sustainable for future generations.

  5. Engineers answer intriguing questions… • If you can only get salt water, how can you make it drinkable? • Can the strength of steel beams be predicted from a test done on metal paper clips? • Can we link Alaska to Russia by bridge?

  6. Engineering Disciplines • Genetic • Industrial • Instrumentation • Manufacturing • Mechanical • Military • Mining • Nuclear • Vehicle • Agricultural • Biomedical • Ceramic • Civil • Component • Computer • Software • Electrical • Fire Protection

  7. You’ll have excellent career options, income and job satisfaction • The demand for engineers is exploding worldwide, with tens of thousands need in the United State alone. • Companies are competing eagerly for newly graduated engineers to tackle increasingly complex challenges.

  8. Engineering professionals have double the job security of other careers and there’s no slow down in sight! • Entry level civil/structural engineers $44,811 - $52,000 • Entry level mechanical engineers $46,000 • Entry level environmental engineers $48,256 • Entry level transportation engineers $46,725- $49,584

  9. Who hires engineers? • Public Clients • Federal Agencies: Army Corps of Engineers, DoD, NGB, FHWA • State Agencies: INDOR, IDOA, universities • Private Clients • Developers • Building Owners • Brokers, Lawyers, etc.

  10. Be rewarded for thinking creatively • Engineers approach physical challenges from every imaginable angle. By resizing and reframing for a fresh viewpoint, original solutions are born: a retractable roof on a new stadium, a magnetic levitation train for a fish ladder to bypass damns.

  11. Take pride in the aesthetic of engineering • There are spectacular examples of engineering design everywhere: • Tall buildings designed to withstand the forces of nature, yet crafted to be visually beautiful. • Bridges with soaring spans, arches trusses and cables. • Event the most basic infrastructure can be elegant and economical, conveying dependability and civic pride.

  12. How do you know engineering is right for YOU? • Have you ever built a paper airplane? Wondered how a power plant functions? Or how tall building keep getting taller? If you think about how and why things work, you have a mindset for engineering. • Engineers are always conquering the next frontier, applying new knowledge and cutting-edge technology and building a better world for tomorrow.

  13. What do engineers study now? • Middle School • Basic math: algebra, geometry • Sciences: chemistry, earth and life sciences, physics • High School • Math: higher levels of algebra, geometry, some calculus • Sciences: higher levels of chemistry and physics, as well as biology and astronomy

  14. Consider the tremendous variety of engineering degree programs • Civil (transportation, marine and coastal, urban planning • Structural • Mechanical • Electrical • Environmental • Water Resource • Architectural • Construction • Geotechnical and Soils • Safety and Fire • Industrial • Nuclear, Petroleum and Power • Materials • Engineering Management and Project Management

  15. Find and engineering program just right for you • Ball State University- Muncie • Indiana Institute of Technology- Fort Wayne • Indiana University- Bloomington • Purdue University- West Lafayette • Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology- Terre Haute • Trine University- Angola • University of Evansville- Evansville • University of Notre Dame- South Bend • University of Southern Indiana- Evansville • Valparaiso University- Valparaiso

  16. ACEC Indiana • Professional trade association of Indiana’s premier consulting engineering firms. • Advocates for engineering firms on legislative and business issues. • Offers scholarships for Indiana Students pursuing careers in engineering. • Check out www.acecindiana.org for more information!
