Advanced Manufacturing ICAP Series Pathway: Engineering Jobs Include: Marine Engineer Electrical Systems Designer Industrial Engineering Technician Electro-Mechanical Engineer Mechatronics Engineer Automation Engineer Solar Energy Systems Engineers The General Purpose Engineers imagine. Before things are made; things are conceived. Engineers, who are in manufacturing, design things, trouble-shoot concepts and analyze thoughts into real schemes or parts of a whole. Engineers have the ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. Engineering uses logic to see the strengths and weaknesses of new solutions or conclusions. It doesn’t have to be solving the problem, but engineering recognizes there is or would be a problem or a better way forward. The work can focus on production processes, quality control, costs, and other techniques for maximizing the effective manufacture and distribution of goods. Engineers apply data and predictions of physical laws and the interrelationships of numbers, fluids, materials, atmospheric dynamics, and mechanical, electrical, and atomic structures in order to get work done. Generalized Work Activities 1. 2. 3. 4. Preparing–System layouts, detailed drawings and schematics Designing and overseeing - Tests, installations and reviews which may exploit multi-dimensional graphic visuals Maintaining contact and reporting for - contractors and clients to ensure completion of work at minimum cost Studying - regulatory bodies to ensure repairs and alterations are on time, inexpensive and consistent with safety.
