Manufacturing and Engineering

• Structural Engineers design bridges, tunnels and buildings and decide on material and make it structurally secure
• Electrical engineers design and develop new electronics and test equipment
• Structural Engineers use computer aided engineering to test structures for their tolerances, air resistance and structural stability
• Electrical engineers use graphics to show circuits etc.
• Manufacturing Engineers develop and improve manufacturing processes by studying product and manufacturing methods
• Manufacturing Methods use CAE and CAD to create 3D/2D models, test tolerances and stress on parts etc.
• Civil Engineers design, build and supervise projects including roads, building and airports
• Civil Engineers use AutoCAD to create orthographics of components used in larger models
• Model Makers make scale models of new and existing building designs, model new products for testing before production
• Model Makers look at and understand plans and technical drawings, use freehand drawings skills or CAD to illustrate initial ideas
• Clients are the people who use the software and hardware after it has been fully developed, marketed and installed
• Clients view adverts shown to them by companies promoting/producing the software/hardware
• Manufacturers make products in large batches to sell off to consumers
• Manufacturers use DTP software to make adverts, CAD/CAE to make models
• Designers research and develop ideas for new ideas and use CAD and CAE to create the design
• Consultants and Engineering Trades expert in planning, designer and construction of both public and private infrastructures
• Consultants and Engineering Trades use computer design programmes
• Materials engineer test and research material of the future for new tech and better products. Usually investigate with non-destructive methods, like testing for tolerance to heat or corrosion, electrical conductivity or durability and strength
• Material Engineers use CAD and COSMAL
• Productions and Planning organise the people and processes in a factory so the production lines run efficiently
• Production and Planning need to plan, prepare orders, set quality standards and estimate timescales and costs. Work closely with company buyers, suppliers, quality control, training departments and health and safety managers
• Production and Planning use Location, Site and Floor plans, sections, elevations and details at a range of scales from 1:50, 1:20 and 1:5. They use Gantt charts on Microsoft excel
• Fabricators manufacture and invent products using CAD drawings
• Landscape Architects design and create spaces for wildlife, to make towns and cities healthier. Work on parks, fields, housing etc.
• Landscape Architects use computer-aides design packages
• Architects design buildings for people to have practical, attractive and safe places to live. Lead building projects. Restore old buildings. Work with construction professionals and control the budget
• Architects use CAD software and technical plans
