Engineering uses math and science principles to solve real-life problems. Structures and machines around us—like bridges, buildings, and vehicles—were planned and designed by engineers. Engineers think through complex problems and collaborate with others to build and improve upon the things we use everyday. Learn more about careers in engineering!

Lori Johhson | Operations Leader
Lori Johnson is Operations Leader for The Dow Chemical Company plant in Texas. Lori uses her technical engineering and chemical engineering background to work at this plant, which produces chelating agents, a material that is added to a variety of applications and captures metal ions to prevent oxidation and eliminate any odor from metal ions. These agents go into everyday products like shampoo and ranch dressing. As an Operations Leader, Lori is responsible for the safety of the process operators, who are the people that run the plant. Lori also oversees budgeting for the plant’s repairs.

Use STEM Skills like Lori Johnson
To work at the plant and create these products, Lori and her team need a strong knowledge and understanding of chemistry. Your students can explore and experiment with chemistry through the Gizmos Ionic Bond simulation*.
BEN DAVIS | DATA ENGINEER
Ben Davis is a data engineer. He creates programs that transform and simplify data so others can easily understand it. Ben first discovered his love of data after his high school football coach introduced him to Microsoft Excel. He later started his career as an industrial engineer and then moved to data engineering after gaining experience in data automation and programming. Ben enjoys that no two days of his job are the same–there are always new challenges to solve and ways to make complex data more understandable and meaningful to the people it impacts.
Use STEM Skills like Ben Davis
Ben uses computer coding to develop programs that simplify and summarize complex data. Your students can practice interpreting weather data with a Trend Line simulation.
