Biochemical Engineers
Develop usable, tangible products, using knowledge of biology, chemistry, or engineering. Solve problems related to materials, systems, or processes that interact with humans, plants, animals, microorganisms, or biological materials.
Biomedical Engineers
Apply knowledge of engineering, biology, and biomechanical principles to the design, development, and evaluation of biological and health systems and products, such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.
Medical Device Engineers
Design and develop medical-technical systems, installations, and equipment such as pacemakers, MRI scanners, and X-ray machines. Monitor the whole manufacturing process from concept design to product implementation. May design product improvements, develop methods and techniques to evaluate design suitability, coordinate initial production, develop test procedures, and design manufacturing diagrams.

Aerospace Engineers
Perform engineering duties in designing, constructing, and testing aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. May conduct basic and applied research to evaluate adaptability of materials and equipment to aircraft design and manufacture. May recommend improvements in testing equipment and techniques.
Architectural and Engineering Managers
Plan, direct, or coordinate activities in such fields as architecture and engineering or research and development in these fields.
Automation Engineers
Research, design, and develop applications and systems for the automation of production processes. Implement technology and reduce, whenever applicable, human input to reach the full potential of industrial robotics. Oversee the process and ensure all systems run safely and efficiently.

AI Research Scientists
Collaborate with platform engineers, business subject matter experts and technology delivery teams to deliver strategic cognitive computing research projects form design to execution.
Anthropologists
Research, evaluate, and establish public policy concerning the origins of humans; their physical, social, linguistic, and cultural development; and their behavior, as well as the cultures, organizations, and institutions they have created.
Archeologists
Conduct research to reconstruct record of past human life and culture from human remains, artifacts, architectural features, and structures recovered through excavation, underwater recovery, or other means of discovery.
Quick facts:
High overall job growth expected
STEM occupations currently account for nearly 10 million jobs. Job growth of more than 8% is projected over the next decade, adding about 800,000 jobs.
Regional and state high growth areas
STEM jobs are expanding fastest in Texas, New York, California, and Washington, but STEM jobs are also increasing rapidly in less established locations such as North Dakota, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Computer and tech fields growing fastest
Computer and technology-related occupations are the fastest-growing STEM fields, with an increase of more than half a million new IT jobs projected across the next ten years.
Value of the arts is also recognized
STEAM is a related global education movement that incorporates the arts—such as humanities, music, language arts, visual arts, and design—using the creative process to investigate scientific concepts.
