What Engineers Do Engineers in general are problem solvers Engineers design things that have real world
applications Many of the products and man made structures
that we use in our daily lives, required engineers Engineers look for practical applications for
things scientists and others discover Main engineering fields are Mechanical,
Electrical, Civil, Aerospace, Chemical Some others are Nuclear, Environmental,
Petroleum, Ceramic, Agricultural

What I Do
I am a systems engineer with Physio Control Corporation in Redmond, Washington.
We produce defibrillator/monitors used in ambulances and hospitals
I work with customers, and internal groups to come up with next generation designs and implementations
One of our challenges is applying new technologies in saving lives. Gathering data and transmitting to the hospital.
