STEM Discover the Top Engineering Careers By Kelly Hunter B


eing an engineer is one of the most lu- crative careers today. In fact, the en- gineering profession is in the top five


professions in the world today. With the progress in science and technology, there are several engineer careers that are quite financially and professionally lucrative. Here is a brief breakup of the various en- gineer careers and their descriptions.


Computer Hardware Engineers


This stream is one of the most recent


streams of engineer careers, and also one of the most lucrative. A computer engineer is basically the heart and soul of the build- ing of a computer. The computer hardware engineer comes into play in almost every


aspect of the building cycle of a computer, be it the computer chip, the circuit boards and the entire computer system. The hardware engineer researches and


gives his or her valuable suggestions re- garding the designs of the computer chips. The hardware engineer also comes into the picture when it comes to develop, test and look into the manufacturing and in- stallation of the entire computer system. To pursue a computer hardware enginee- ring degree, one would have to be at least a graduate.


Electrical Engineers Electrical engineering is another re-


warding type of engineering that is avai- lable for individuals today. Just like com- puter hardware engineering, an electrical engineer is instrumental in every aspect of building any electrical product. The elec- trical engineer is closely related to every part of the building cycle of any electric product. The electrical engineer is also instru-


mental in building, installing, repairing and servicing any of the electrical instru- ments. Therefore, it can be said that the electrical engineer is the backbone of any electrical engineering product.


Mechanical Engineers A mechanical engineer is useful for


designing several machinery and automo- biles that are useful in the fields such as transport, defense and commodities, etc. They are highly universal engineers be- cause their role is required in almost every field of science and technology and even beyond. This is one of the best-paid engineer


careers today and there is a high amount of competitiveness in the profession. Stu- dents are considering getting into mecha- nical engineering, the rules of which are becoming increasingly tougher each year. However, the profession is valued for
