Engineers apply scientific and technical knowledge to design, develop and maintain products, systems and structures. They create effective, safe and cost-efficient solutions that meet project goals and industry standards.
They often research technical requirements, design and test prototypes and refine solutions based on performance data. By balancing innovation with practical constraints, engineers help organizations build safe and functional products.
