What kinds of work does an engineer do?

Traditional aspects of the engineering field include design, development, testing, production, construction, systems engineering, marketing and sales, research, teaching and administration, and supervision.

Unique skills and problem-solving techniques make the engineer a useful member of the teams that work to solve technically based problems relating to social and political issues.

While most engineers work for large industries or governmental units, it is possible, after a period of study and experience, to establish a business of one's own.
