    Research- where the engineer is engaged in the
    process of learning about nature and codifying
    this knowledge into usable theories.

    Design and development - where the engineer


    undertakes the activity of turning a product
    concept to a finished physical item.
    Testing - where the engineer works in a
    unit where new products or parts are
    tested for workability.
    Manufacturing -where the engineer is
    directly in charge of production personnel
    or assumes responsibility for the product.
    Construction - this is where the
    construction engineer (a civil engineer) is
    either directly in charge of the construction
    personnel or may have responsibility for
    the quality of the construction process.
    Sales -where the engineer assists the
    company's customers to meet their needs,
    especially those that require technical
    expertise.

    consultant of any individual or organization
    requiring his services.
