The United States is one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. We enjoy a variety of different ecosystems and benefit from their natural resources—but do you ever wonder what might happen if these resources were depleted? Conservation scientists fight to ensure this never happens. They work with landowners, governments and farmers to protect and preserve natural environments while finding new ways to improve them.
There is a cyber-attack approximately every 40 seconds, nearly all of which target personal identifying information like names, social security numbers, bank account information and passport numbers. Thankfully, cybersecurity engineers are working to keep sensitive and classified information safe from threats by designing, developing and implementing advanced network solutions. As these IT professionals outsmart would-be hackers, they protect the privacy of consumers and the reputations of businesses and organizations
In the past, when businesses and organizations needed to store information, they’d build libraries and archives. Today, we have more information digitally available than ever before, and as the number of internet users and data continues to grow, data architects are in high demand. They create the blueprint for data infrastructure, designing, storing and organizing an organization’s data.
Do you see everyday products and find ways to improve them? Design engineers combine creativity with engineering principles; they research and develop ideas for new, more efficient products and seek ways to expand functionality in existing products – such as transferring a Fitbit to animals to help track health and productivity.
Flip on a light switch. Check the news on your smartphone. Stream a video. These everyday activities are made possible by the work of electrical engineers.

Do you like to create, solve and build? Electrical engineering might be right up your alley.
Streamed your playlist through portable speaker lately? Then you’ve encountered the work of an electronics engineer. Electronics engineers look at the challenges present in the ever-advancing world of technology and say, “bring it on!” Armed with a deep understanding of mathematics and science, these experts draw up theoretical designs of new and improved electronic equipment in nearly every industry imaginable.
Our world is brighter because of electronics engineering technicians—they rely on an understanding of circuitry and electronic systems to build and maintain the electronic equipment that powers everything from laboratories to transportation. Electronics engineering technicians roll up their sleeves to convert engineers’ plans to working prototypes. Their work is essential to the improvement of equipment that powers every aspect of our daily lives.
The focus of an entomologist’s work can take them anywhere in the world as an expert in one main thing: insects. Entomologists study everything about insects from their classification to their behavior, life cycle, distribution and so on. A boundless and versatile career, entomologists work as researchers, teachers and consultants—for universities, private companies or government agencies. Where bugs go, entomologists follow; their impact is truly global.
Modern industries provide us with convenience and comfort—but unfortunately there is potential for dangerous waste and pollutants as well. When these pollutants endanger the quality of our air, soil and water, environmental engineers strive to solve these pressing issues and improve conditions. They work to advance issues like waste disposal, unsafe drinking water, recycling and sustainability.
