Scale
Think of Civil Engineering as all the manmade construction you see when you look out a tall building. As for cars, power plants, machinery, equipment, industrial processes, technology think Mechanical Engineering. The fundamentals of the class are the same, but the problems and solutions are oriented toward the specialty.
Engineers will often use reverse-engineering to solve problems. For example, by taking things apart to determine an issue, finding a solution and then putting the object back together again. Engineers know how things work, and so they constantly analyse things and discover how they work.
The field of engineering is incredibly broad and encompasses a variety of jobs. Here is a brief overview of some of the most common engineering jobs.Aerospace EngineerIn general, aerospace engineers design, test, and supervise the manufacturing of aircraft and spacecraft products. Many aerospace engineers specialize in a particular area or product, such as commercial aircraft, military aircraft, spacecraft, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, propulsion, acoustics, or guidance and control systems.Agricultural EngineerAgricultural engineers work in the field of agriculture and specialize in biological resources. Some of their professional tasks include designing agricultural machinery or power systems. Agricultural engineers develop ways to conserve resources (such as soil and water) and streamline the processing of agricultural products.Biomedical EngineersBiomedical engineers work in the health field to develop devices and procedures. that solve medical and health-related problems. Their background in human biology and medicine helps them think efficiently and critically about health-related problems. Much of what biomedical engineers do consists of research to create and evaluate health equipment and products. Specialties within biomedical engineering include biomaterials, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, and orthopedic engineering.Civil EngineersCivil engineers are in charge of designing and overseeing the construction of infrastructure (roads, tunnels, dams, bridges), public buildings (such as airports), and water supply and sewage systems. There are many specialties structural, water resources, construction, transportation, and geotechnical engineering. Civil engineering is considered to be one of the oldest engineering fields.Electrical EngineersElectrical engineers are in charge of designing, developing and overseeing the manufacturing of electrical equipment. Some electrical engineers also design electrical systems for buildings, cars and aircraft. There are various specialties within the field of electrical engineering, such as power systems engineering or electrical equipment manufacturing.
Engineers will create solutions to problems society has in the future.
There is a tremendous importance of welding in engineering, there are even such things as welding engineers ( I am one). Welding is what holds the majority of structures together--bridges, cars, tractors, cranes, buildings, etc...If any engineer does not have a good understand of this very popular joining process major problems can exist, such as failures from designing a joint that is un-weldable. Most companies these days are trying to hire welding engineers to help with these problems. Welding can get very specialized with more technical metals and applications.
Engineers need to be able to solve problems... If there is no problems, there are no need for engineers, therefore no jobs for engineers.
information security,memory managment and access control related problems

Actually engineering is for people that are good at engineering. There are people who are very good at math but would be terrible engineers. There are many kinds of engineers but all engineers have to deal with the real world. Most of them work for companies that expect to make a profit. Most successful engineers find themselves in middle management before long . Many engineers use very little higher math once they go to work. Math for engineers is only a tool for solving problems and it is not the only tool. Most problems are solved by applying what has worked before.

Engineering is a discipline, art, and profession of acquiring and applying technical, scientific, and mathematical knowledge to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that safely realize a desired objective or invention. Engineers are the people who implement that technical knowledge to solve everyday problems. Basically, people who do engineering are called engineers.

An Industrial Engineer is an engineer who works in a factory. His job is to solve any problems which come up when the factory is making a product which has been designed by Desing Engineers.The Design Engineer decides what a product's characteristics should be, builds and tests a prototype (a sample model), and supplies detailed drawings and specifications to Manufacturing (which operates the factory). If the drawings and specs are good enough, Manufacturing will have no problem building hundreds or thousands of products. However, often the specs are incomplete or inconsistent. Then the Industrial Engineer figures out what's wrong with the specs and corrects them so Manufacturing can proceed. Naturally, he usually must confer with the Design Engineers to get the problem solved.Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, material and process. It also deals with designing new prototypes to help save money and make the prototype better. Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. In lean manufacturing systems, industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.
