Activity 1.6b Engineering and Related STEM Careers Introduction Because of their technical training, critical thinking skills, and problem solving capabilities, engineers have a wide range of career choices. Many employers value the technical knowledge gained and the ability to understand and create technical information built in the course of completing an engineering degree program. And although many engineers choose to perform design work, others choose other, less traditional or less well known paths in which their technical abilities and critical thinking skills prove valuable. In this activity you will research an engineering or STEM career and create a Career Poster or information sheet to display in your classroom.
