Engineering is the practical application of science and math to solve problems.

It is everywhere in the world around you. From the start to the end of each day.

Engineering technologies improve the ways that we communicate, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves.

What does and engineer do?

Engineers are problem-solvers They want to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensive. They design things from computer chips and satellites to medical devices and renewable energy technologies. Engineering makes our modern life possible. In particular, electrical engineers and computer engineers have a wide range of study options and career paths that let them design, build, and manage those ideas into reality.

Obama & engineering

 "We need young people, instead of -- a smart kid coming out of school, instead of wanting to be an investment banker, we need them to decide if they want to be an engineer, they want to be a scientist, they want to be a doctor or a teacher," the president said.

 He would rather see students pursue things that actually contribute to making things and making people's lives better that's going to put our economy on solid footing.

Electrical engineering

Has to do with basic forms of energy that run our world.

It can be gas, hydro, turbine, fuel cell, solar, geothermal, or wind energy.

Electrical engineers deal with distributing those energies to our homes, factories, offices, hospitals, and schools.

Wireless communication and the Internet are a few areas electrical engineering has help develop, by developing better phones, more powerful computers, and high-speed modems.
