Civil Engineering Civil engineering is one of the oldest disciplines of engineering, it deals with the construction and designing of non moving structures. Some examples are: Highways, skyscrapers, bridges, hotels, houses, docks, etc
Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering is the discipline of moving structures, that applies the principles of physics. This branch also involves the production of hydroelectric power. Mechanical Engineers also team up with engineers from other disciplines such as Aerospace.
Environmental Engineering Environmental Engineering is becoming very popular! Future challenges in managing and restoring our natural environment.
Electrical Engineering Electrical Engineering includes power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.
ChemicalEngineering Chemical Engineering uses the principles of chemistry, physics and mathematics for the manufacture of chemical products.Chemical Engineers also design new drugs and medicines.
Endless Possibilities Other Engineering disciplines would include: (There are over 200) Agricultural Biological and Bio-systems Food Forestry Materials Plastics Water Resource Naval Communications Computer Electrical Electromechanical Systems Electronic Systems Software Gas Geological Geomatics Metallurgical Mineral Mining Oil Petroleum and many more...!
Salaries The starting salaries are higher than any other under graduate degree. The average starting salary for a new graduate is $56,000 in Atlantic Canada. The average salary of a Professional Engineer in Atlantic Canada is $87,000. From Atlantic Canada Engineering Salary Guide, 2009
Responsibility The engineering profession is self governing:Members are responsible for governing the profession, admission of practitioners and discipline of members in accordance with the Engineering Profession Act and the By Laws of the Association.Members are subject to a Code of Ethics as well.
Our Mission To serve and protect the public interestTo advance and promote the value and proficiency of the Engineering professionTo support membersin their professional practice
Thank You We hope you consider a future in engineering! Engineers are in demand, and Employers are looking for you.
Engineering Principles Another engineering principle is building with support. To build up you must have a good base, so the structure doesn’t topple over. Activity: In groups with marshmallows, and spaghetti, you must see how high you can make your structure.
