Engineers earn considerably more than other people who enter a career path with just a bachelor 's degree . They create the electronic components that run computers , TVs , stereo systems , and automated factories and seek ways to improve the transmission of messages by laser beams . The Postgres Rule SystemNextRules versus Triggers Many things that can be done using triggers can also be implemented using the Postgres rule system . Chemical engineers seek to make our world better by devising systems to control pollution by trapping harmful pollutants before they spread into the air ; looking for hardier strains of wheat , rice and corn that will survive drought , insects , and disease and thus ease world hunger ; designing high strength plastic composites that are stronger but lighter than steel ; and joining the war against cancer , AIDS , and other deadly diseases . Civil engineers design solutions to cope with many of our planet 's most serious problems - - foul air ; decaying cities , roadways , and bridges ; clogged airports and highways ; polluted streams , rivers , and lakes . In coming weeks , the Eweek website will host a series of live , training web casts designed to prepare volunteers for every facet of the outreach effort . ASME supports Engineers Without Borders and believes its efforts strongly contribute to the new global focus of Engineers Week , in meaningful ways . American Colleges and universities were continuing to turn out the same percentage of scientists , engineers and advanced-degree technologists that they always had . Among the company 's early contributors were engineers Donald Douglas and James McDonnell . EWB-USA has offered technical assistance for existing efforts . The governing board of Phoenix 's SHPE chapter recently convened to discuss ways to facilitate outreach to students and enhance fund-raising efforts for scholarships . Now as EWB turns its attention to recovery and reconstruction efforts in the most often overlooked towns and villages damaged and destroyed by the tsunami last December , we appreciate its outreach even more . Where prior outreach efforts had focused directly on students , influencing the lives of tens of thousands , “ Connecting Educators to Engineering ” would be different .
