Across
- 3. They develop fuel cells, solar plants, wireless communication systems, media displays like HDTV, computer processors, and robotics.
- 6. They are quality-control pros and are involved with all aspects of manufacturing, including automation (robots!), production control and materials handling.
- 7. They develop water distribution systems, sewage treatment plants, recycling methods, and other pollution prevention and control methods to solve current problems and prevent new ones.
- 8. They apply quantitative solutions to medical problems. Their work can range from diagnostic tools and therapies to artificial organs and prosthetics.
- 10. They come up with workable innovations so buildings use energy and water more efficiently, creating less waste and pollution.
- 11. They work to produce valuable products like lifesaving drugs and green fuels.
- 14. They mix cutting-edge science with the art of farming to keep us well-fed with foods that are safe, nutritious and tasty.
Down
- 1. They make the extraction of underground resources such as oil/gas and minerals as safe as possible.
- 2. They design, build and maintain machines from the nanoscale to massive-size, and anything that transfers energy from electrical or thermal to kinetic.
- 4. They design new and improved materials for all kinds of applications including pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, aerospace, high-tech, and manufacturing and recycling.
- 5. They combine civil, mechanical and electrical engineering with oceanography, mathematics, physics and materials science.
- 9. They work with all aspects of computing: operating systems, networks, software and hardware.
- 11. They design and build some of the world's biggest, most muscular structures, from interstate highways and bridges to dams and airports to water-treatment plants and power stations.
- 12. They operate power plants, run naval ships and submarines, and work in industry and medicine.
- 13. They are experts in aerodynamics, so some of them put their skills to use in making race cars go faster or golf balls fly further.
