How You Can Become an Engineerhttp://technology.monster.co.uk/6437_EN_p4.asp

Marine and ocean engineers: Design, build and maintain ships, aircraft carriers, submarines, tankers, tugboats and other large waterborne vehicles. A marine engineer, for example, might select and maintain the machinery on a large ship, while an ocean engineer may be involved in designing and operating an oil rig that's been built out at sea.

Materials engineers: Develop the materials used to create various products. They work with metals, ceramics, plastics, semiconductors and composites to develop everything from clothes and vinyl siding to dinnerware and artificial limbs.

Mechanical engineers: Design tools, engines, electrical generators, internal combustion engines, elevators -- in short, any device that is mechanical in nature.

Mining engineers: Focus on locating, extracting and processing coal, metals and minerals so that those materials can be used by manufacturers and utility companies. For example, a mining engineer may develop a site-specific approach to extracting a mineral deposit efficiently and safely.

Nuclear engineers: Determine the processes, instruments and systems necessary to tap into nuclear energy and radiation. Some nuclear engineers might design nuclear plants, for instance, while others may develop nuclear power sources for spacecraft or innovative diagnostic procedures for physicians.

Petroleum engineers: Oversee searches around the world for new sources of oil and natural gas. They also figure out how those natural resources will be extracted and design the equipment and tools necessary to do so.
As Geraldine Garner writes in Careers in Engineering, “The different types of engineering fields are as numerous and diverse as the skill and knowledge base of engineering professionals.”

You can find additional information about specific engineering careers in Monster's Job Profiles and Web sites for the professional associations affiliated with each engineering specialty.

So give yourself the chance to explore the possibilities. Perhaps you'll one day have designs on a career in the diverse world of engineering.
