Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians help electrical and electronics engineers plan and develop communications equipment, computers, medical monitoring devices, or other equipment that is powered by other electricity or electric current. They often work in product evaluation and testing, using measuring and diagnostic devices to test, adjust, and repair equipment. They are also involved in assembling equipment for automation.

Computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) drafters take the vision of an architect or engineer and use computer software to create 2D design drawings or 3D simulations to aid in production. Drafters can work in a broad range of fields, so their designs could lead to sleek electronics or towering buildings.

Electro-Mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and technicians combine knowledge of mechanical technology with knowledge of electrical and electronic circuitry. They operate, test, and maintain unmanned, automated, robotic, or electromechanical equipment.

Plumbers install, maintain and repair water systems in homes and businesses. They install pipes that carry the liquids or gases, and they upgrade and repair existing systems.

Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems in homes, businesses, and factories.

Heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers, which are often called HVACR technicians, work on heating, ventilation, cooling, and refrigeration systems that control the temperature and air quality in buildings.

Diesel technicians inspect, maintain, repair and care for diesel engines. Some diesel technicians specialize in a specific type of vehicle. When commercial transportation has malfunctioned, they diagnose the problems and find solutions.

Construction managers plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise construction projects from development to completion. Construction workers construct, repair, and install building frameworks and structures made from wood and other materials.

Welders fuse and cut metal materials. They can work in several different industries, so welders might build structures or repair existing infrastructure. Welders are employed in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and oil and gas.

Electrical linemen install, maintain and repair electric power lines and other equipment used in electrical distribution and transmission systems. Linemen are expected to work through the intricate processes of electrical work while maintaining balance and composure at great heights.

A heavy equipment operator operates heavy equipment used in engineering and construction projects. Typically only skilled workers may operate heavy equipment, and there is specialized training for learning to use heavy equipment. Crane and Tower Operators operate mechanical boom and cable or tower and cable equipment to lift and move materials, machines, or products in many directions. Surface Mining Excavating Machine, Loading Machine, and Dragline Operators handle or tend machinery at surface mining sites. They use vehicles and tools equipped with scoops, shovels, or buckets to excavate and load loose materials.

Automotive service technicians and mechanics, often called service technicians or service techs, inspect, maintain, and repair cars and light trucks.

Entry-level process technicians work in Bioprocessing, Pharmaceutical, and Chemical Manufacturing. Biomedical Equipment Technology program prepares individuals to: Set up, maintain, and clean laboratory instruments and equipment, such as microscopes, scales, pipets, and test tubes Gather and prepare biological samples, such as blood, food, and bacteria cultures, for laboratory analysis Conduct biological tests and experiments Document their work, including procedures, observations, and results Analyze experimental data and interpret results Write reports that summarize their findings
