1. work with a diverse array of technologies that are central to the way we store and handle information, sense the world, and integrate electrical devices into our society.
2. build a bridge between science and manufacturing, applying the principles of chemistry and engineering to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals.
3. design and develop power-producing machines, such as internal combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, and jet and rocket engines.
4. Engineering application of the earth sciences to human problems that relate to the earth and earth systems.
5. determine the most effective ways to use the basic factors of production—people, machines, materials, information, and energy—to make a product or provide a service.
