What Engineers Do

Biomedical Engineers

Chuong with students

Biomedical engineers design instrumentation for non-invasive measurements of human structures and functions (cell migration, organ blood flow, limb & body mobility). Design biocompatible implants (artificial organs, tissue-engineered ograns, skin) and automated systems for rapid identification of human genes. Develop computer models of cells, organs and whole body functions.

Civil Engineers

Bridge-building team Civil engineers plan, design and maintain infrastructure systems while considering environmental constraints and ensuring sustainable development. Typical infrastructure systems include buildings, roadways, bridges, airports, mass transit systems, retaining structures, dams, flood control, water treatment and distribution systems, and wastewater collection and treatment facilities.

Computer Scientists / Computer Engineers / Software Engineers

Computing Cluster Computer scientists, computer engineers, and software engineers design and maintain computer systems and software applications solving theoretical and practical problems. Involves mainframes and microcomputers, distributed and parallel processing, languages, computational theory, wireless and mobile computing, data mining, and the mathematical structure.

Electrical Engineers
