      I’m a mechanical automotive engineer, which means that I am trained to work on designing and developing car parts, such as the radiator in the front of a car.

      Hi

      I am a Controls Engineer. This means that i work on electrical systems creating the software to make the system behave as expected. I also have to get involved in the design of things to ensure that it is capable of doing what it is supposed to and have to be able to figure out electrical wiring problems if something doesn’t work as expected.

      Dear 396kvnc25,
      I am a Civil Engineer, more specifically in managing flood risk. I develop creative solutions (such as sea wall) and turn them into real things so that people, businesses homes and lives are protected from flood risk.

      I am an Aircraft Engineer – It’s my job to fix helicopters and planes when mechanical components break or need repairing. Each day is different – one day I could be changing a jet engine, the next day I could be constructing a made to measure repair for damaged aircraft structure and skin.

      I am an aerospace engineer. I work in space industry on spacecraft systems (the things that hang off them). I do a lot of mathematics to develop great designs.
