An engineer uses science, technology and math to solve problems. We can see engineering everywhere in the world around us, improving the ways we work, travel, communicate, stay healthy, and entertain. Today, the field of engineering offers more career choices than any other discipline. In the past, there were four major engineering branches: mechanical, chemical, civil and electrical.

There are single-and double-flowered multiflora petunias. ' 1 Carpet' series petunias are available in many colors. ' 2 Primetime' series stay compact and uniform, covered with 2Â¼-inch flowers. ' 3 Heavenly Lavender' is an early, compact, double, deep lavender blue with 3-inch blooms on 12-to 14-inch plants.f the soil or the area is poorly drained, you can build raised beds to grow good petunias. They prefer soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. If you grow petunias from seed, start them eight to 10 weeks before planting in beds. The very fine dust-like seed of petunias require light for germination.
