In this video I discuss whether jobs in engineering are hands on, more computer work, or in the field. Some people might have the wrong image of an engineering job which may cause confusion down the road. The good news is that engineers do everything listed. They make computer models, they work with hardware, and they can go to sites where their projects are being constructed. However, you will notice that a large majority of engineering jobs are desk jobs because that's where a lot of design work and engineering drawings are done. The hands on work is often left to technicians, operators, machinists, and construction workers who physically build (and sometimes test) the designs made by the engineers.

Note this video only discussed the core engineering work that you'd do at a company and didn't account for meetings, reports, and more of that work that you typically will see at a job as well.\n
