Is becoming an engineer is something you consider? Then read this career summary! This summary will explain everything an engineer might have to do in a typical day of work, all the problems they might face, the skills they need to have and is it a good choice to become one with the robots replacing a lot of works in the future and of course is the salary good enough to make you stable in the current economy.
To be an engineer, is to be able to combine many skills to solve problems. It is not like everyone thinks, which is doing difficult math all day. You'll have to communicate with others, organize all the projects you'll need to do before their deadline and use and develop your skills.
Engineers solve problems most of the time difficult due to the complications that the government or company imposes, like the environment. Engineers need to conceive objects, circuits or machines depending on which path of engineering they have chosen.
On a typical day, engineers solve problems most of the day, but there is also a lot reports explaining their choices to make sure of the security of the problem. Engineers rarely work alone, they talk to other people like technicians or client.
Depending on what type of engineering they have chosen, engineers work either the field, in a laboratory or in an office.
To become an engineer, you have 2 main options. You can do the technique of engineer of your choice at the cegep like mechanical, electrical or informatics. The other option is to do a pre-university program like natural sciences and for both of the options you'll need to go to the university for four and a half years when you alternate between internships and courses.
For new engineers, the salary is between $60 000 and $80 000 per year. For more experimented employee, their salary is between $100 000 and $160 000 per year. The salary depends on what type of engineering you do.
Engineers will need to assist to a lot of conferences to make sure that they are up to date for the technology and for the security to make sure that the product they make or the problem they solve will pass the regulations and is safe to use.
The dangers of being an engineer is that if your work causes an accident, like a bridge or a building collapse, an object explode due to heat or anything that involves people that may have or have caused injuries or death, you will be judge against it. You are responsible for the problems your work cause. As for civil engineering, they work in the field so all the dangers of working on a construction site applied to them.
They are not a lot of chances that engineers will be completely replaced by robots because engineers have to do a lot of decision-making that involves ethical problems. Robots will mostly be used for the repetitive tasks or for the math calculation but engineers will need to verify them for security and ethical concerns.
Engineers, most of the time, retire at the same age as almost everyone which is between 60 and 65 years old.
To conclude, engineers do a lot of work, and they are most of the time forgotten by the society even tho almost everything we use or see in our modern world is an engineer old work. Without them, the world you not be as safe and as advanced as it is now.
