Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Industrial Engineer

Industrial engineers carefully study the product requirements and design manufacturing and information systems to meet those requirements with the help of mathematical methods and models.

Answer: Materials Engineer

Materials engineers have developed the ability to create and then study materials at an atomic level, using advanced processes to replicate the characteristics of materials and their components with computers.

3. This type of engineer finds, extracts, and prepares coal, metals, and minerals for use by manufacturing industries and utilities.

Answer: Geological Engineer

Geological engineers frequently specialize in the mining of one mineral or metal, such as coal or gold.

4. This type of engineer researches, designs, develops, manufactures, and tests tools, engines, machines, etc.

Answer: Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical engineers work in manufacturing or agricultural production, maintenance, or technical sales; many become administrators or managers.

5. This type of engineer researches and develops the processes, instruments, and systems used to derive benefits from energy and radiation.

Answer: Nuclear engineer

Nuclear engineers design, develop, monitor, and operate nuclear plants to generate power.

6. This type of engineer prevents harm to people and property by applying knowledge of systems engineering and mechanical, chemical, and human performance principles.

Answer: Health Engineer

Health engineers develop procedures and designs to reduce the risk of illness, injury, or damage.

7. This type of engineer develops solutions to problems using the principles of biology and chemistry.

Answer: Environmental Engineer

Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps.

8. This type of engineer designs and supervises the construction of roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems.

Answer: Civil Engineer

Civil engineering, considered one of the oldest engineering disciplines, encompasses many specialties. The major ones are structural, water resources, construction, environmental, transportation, and geotechnical engineering.

Answer: Biomedical Engineer

Biomedical engineers may also design devices used in various medical procedures, imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and devices for automating insulin injections or controlling body functions.

10. This type of engineer designs, develops, and tests aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles and supervises the manufacture of these products.

Answer: Aerospace Engineer

Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration, often specializing in areas such as structural design, guidance, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication, or production methods.
