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 Copyright © 2021 Hopscotch
