Biomedical – Biomedical engineers develop devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems by combining their knowledge of biology and medicine with engineering principles and practices. Many do research, along with medical scientists, to develop and evaluate systems and products such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, and health management and care delivery systems. Biomedical engineers are expected to have employment growth of 72 percent over the next decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. The aging of the population and a growing focus on health issues will drive demand for better medical devices and equipment designed by biomedical engineers.

Chemical – Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals and other products. They design equipment and processes for large-scale chemical manufacturing, plan and test methods of manufacturing products and treating byproducts, and supervise production. Some specialize in a particular field, such nanomaterials.

Electrical – Electrical engineers design, develop, test and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment, including electric motors, machines controls, lighting, radar and navigation systems, and power generation and transmission devices. They also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft.Mechanical – Mechanical engineers research, design, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices. This is one of the broadest engineering disciplines.Computer Engineering – Computer engineers research, design, develop, test, and oversee the manufacture and installation of hardware, including computer chips, circuit boards, computer systems, and related equipment.

Overall Job Outlook

Overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be good, and, indeed, prospects will be excellent in certain specialties. Biomedical engineers should experience the fastest growth.
