Lyrics:
Is there a problem that needs fixing?
Is there something to improve?
What works? And what’s missing?
Is there something we can do?
Some of us would just let it go
But if you like to create, like to explore,
Like to make things better than before,
Build, develop, and design,
Solve problems and apply
The things you like could be your career
You might be an engineer
When you see an airplane in the sky, or a windmill spin
Or take a ride on a roller coaster that you’re brave enough to get in
When you use a prosthetic leg or ride a train down the track
Odds are a mechanical engineer was helping with that
From tall traffic lights that signal when to safely go
To tiny microchips transmitting signals to a mobile phone
From self-driving cars to toys that talk or move about
An electrical engineer is sure to figure it out
Canals, bridges, sewage, dams, and roads
We build towers with steel beams to take a heavy load
We make water safe, so you can use it for years
Leave it up to civil engineers!
Software engineers write code to tell computers what to do
We design apps and video games, and play them, too
We make homes smarter, to help you throughout the day
We guide robots, cars, and rockets safely on their way
Chemical engineers produce, recycle, and reuse
We stir, mix, and separate in medicines and food
We develop new sources of fuel to keep our carbon footprint low
And some of us make fireworks explode!
What do you love? Opportunities abound
There’s an engineer for every industry around:
Aerospace, geological, audio,
bioengineering, biomedical,
structural, robotic, agricultural,
environmental, automotive, nuclear, materials,
manufacturing, marine, computer, energy,
Engineering’s in everything you could ever see
If you like to create, like to explore,
Like to make things better than before,
Build, develop, and design,
Solve problems and apply
The things you like could be your career
You might be an engineer
You might be an engineer
