  1. Kansas State Engineering Engineering Ambassadors

  2. Background • Lawrence High graduate of 2008 • Sophomore in Industrial Engineering with a Business and Manufacturing minor • Executive member of Engineering Ambassadors

  3. Applications: Engineering and You • Applying science and technology to develop new products and solve real-life problems. • 5 different Areas of Opportunity: *Research and Development *Design and Construction *Manufacturing and Sales *Service and Operation *Education and Other Professions

  4. University Selection Criteria • Student Quality- meet with students in your college of interest • Faculty Commitment- student advising, faculty commitment and degrees • Modern Facilities- up to date classrooms, labs, technology • Contact with Industry- research projects, employment, alumni • Level of Research- research being conducted at university

  5. K-State Study Guide • 11 Colleges of Engineering • Architectural- designing any different system for a building • Bio-Ag (Biosystems)- enhancing natural processes, applying engineering principles to living systems such as food energy, plants and animals • Chemical- 1/3 of students go on to grad school and research, others use math and science to make products like fuel, food, medicine, etc. • Civil- anything with structures, such as buildings, bridges, transportation, and waste systems

  6. Computer- hardware and software, networking systems • Computer Science- design software systems that solve societal problems such as flight control, video games and movies, DNA, life saving drugs • Construction Science- management program designed to produce a professional constructor • Electrical- designing systems that deal with electricity or electronics, microchip technology, wireless communication, digital electronics, conversion, processing of energy

  7. Industrial- design, analyze, and improve integrated systems, maximizing system productivity, making high quality low-cost products • Information Systems- technical computing, networking, web concepts for business information • Mechanical- design machines and systems for conversion, control, and transfer of energy. Equipment design and manufacturing • Nuclear- design systems that deal with radiation, work in nuclear power plant design and operations

  8. Job Examples • Architectural- private firms, ex: if they wanted to build a new chiefs stadium, architect designs it, you make sure it is structurally safe.- closely related to construction science • Bio-Ag- Food industry, consulting firms, healthcare facility • Chemical- Pharmaceuticals, Exxon Mobil • Civil- Kansas Department of Transportation, Amazon • Computer- private firms • Computer science- Delta Airlines, any video game maker, pharmaceuticals

  9. Construction science- construction companies, architecture companies • Electrical- consulting companies, private firms • Industrial- Coca Cola, Spirit Aero, Target, Ford Motor, AT&T, Accenture Consulting • Information systems- Verizon, John Hopkins Physics Lab, Boeing • Mechanical- CISCO, Dow Chemical, Atlas Consulting

  10. Special Programs • Minors • Leadership • Honors Program • Integrated B.S.-M.S. • WESP • STEP- includes SAS, STEM
