Celebrate National Engineers Week National Engineers Week is taking place now through February 25, celebrating engineers and the impact they make on our world.

Engineering encompasses many different subfields, and is generally divided in four main categories: chemical, civil, mechanical, and electrical. However, there are dozens of subtypes of engineering. As problems are encountered, engineering disciplines are developed to train highly specialized individuals to solve these issues. As the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics points to strong job growth outlooks and salaries starting in the high five-figures to low six-figures, engineering is a fine career to pursue.

Engineers are professionals who invent, analyze, design, test, and build anything from machines to structures to complex systems. Biomedical engineers combine knowledge of biology and medicine to develop technologies related to

healthcare. Chemical engineers discover and manufacture medicines, fertilizers, plastics, paints, and more. Civil engineers study and design infrastructure. Computer engineers research and develop components like memory devices, networks, routers, circuit boards, and other device-related hardware. Electrical engineers work on motors, navigation systems, communication technology, and much more.

Mechanical engineers design systems in industries like manufacturing, nuclear power production, HVAC, and nanotechnology.

Engineering can be a rewarding and fulfilling career choice.

With so many disciplines, there's likely something for everyone with an interest in and aptitude for engineering.

Engineers at Work:

Harnessing Renewable Energy It’s been a busy time along the banks of the Millinocket Stream edging the former Great Northern Paper Mill property now called One North. Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC), a developer of tidal and river power systems that generate electricity from free flowing tidal and river currents, has partnered with Our Katahdin to test the new environmentally friendly Modular RivGen power system in Millinocket.

ORPC is an international company headquartered in Portland, with an engineering lab in Brunswick and a tidal energy test site in Eastport. Our Katahdin is a non-profit community and economic development organization tasked with redeveloping the Millinocket region.

ORPC is developing the autonomous turbine generator unit, a roving subsea power generation module capable of self-propelling, self-deploying and retrieving, and providing a power supply to undersea vehicles and monitoring systems, and performing underwater missions such as heavy lifts, inspections, and robotic operations. What this means is the company’s engineers have designed and and continue to create power systems using a natural resource: water.

ORPC got its feet wet, so to speak, about 10 years ago when the company installed an underwater turbine using Cobscook Bay tidal currents to generate renewable energy.

The unit was installed on the ocean floor in Eastport and Lubec. The project transmitted

the first electricity ever delivered to a utility-scale grid from an ocean resource in the Americas.

“The Modular RivGen System is designed for integration into existing works, such as hydroelectric dam tailraces (a water channel that carries water away from a dam), electrical vehicle charging networks, irrigation canals, bridges, piers, breakwaters and flood control systems,” said Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Jarlath McEntee.

“It can also provide baseload and/or emergency power for critical infrastructure such as health care facilities and public utilities such as water supply and wastewater treatment facilities,” said McEntee.

ORPC has invested more than $50 million in the state economy so far, through work with more than 300 partners, contractors and vendors since 2007. Among them is the Millinocket Fabrication and Machine (MFM) company.

“We have supported ORPC on a number of levels including fabrication and machining parts, transportation logistics, field assistance, assembly of rotors as well as assisting on the full assembly of the Modular RivGen that will be deployed at the One North site here in Millinocket,” said Fred Lewis, president of MFM. “It’s an exciting project and Millinocket Fabrication & Machine is proud to be a part of it.”

Jessica Masse spoke about Our Katahdin’s vision for the One North property. “We are looking for innovative processes and methods that harness the natural resources of the region with a focus on bio-based technologies. ORPC’s project is a pilot installation that provides small-scale hydroelectric power generation for local use. We are happy to be part of this innovative use of river current, and see many industrial applications in areas where large-scale hydroelectric infrastructure may not be available.”

This project is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy program, and catching the attention of U.S. Senator Angus King. “This Maine-led project with international reach has the potential to generate reliable and affordable power for people across our state and reduce fossil fuel emissions while creating good jobs in rural areas that have historically relied on the success of heritage industries,” said King, a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. “I’m excited by the progress of this innovative project and the partnerships ORPC is already forming with local businesses in the Millinocket area and throughout the state.”

COURTESY OF CIANBRO

How does that work? That is the question that begins the journey for many engineers.

Pursuing engineering as a career takes a creative, determined, and curious mindset.

The skills you’ll learn can be applied to varying roles within several markets, including infrastructure, industrial/manufacturing, power and energy, commercial building, petrochemical, and oil/gas refining.

That light-bulb moment occurred in high school for Erica Bertolaccini, a senior project engineer who studied civil engineering at the University of Maine. Though she bounced between pursuing nursing or engineering, she chose the latter and hasn’t looked back.

“As an engineer working for Cianbro, a general contractor, I get to help build stuff,” says Bertolaccini. Currently, she is working on the Fall River Bridge Replacement project in Blue Hill, Maine. “I’m not stuck behind a computer all day. I get to have my boots on the ground and help build infrastructure that’s benefiting the community.”

Through the Cianbro Institute, team members within The Cianbro Companies — Cianbro, A/Z Corporation, Starcon International, and R. C. Stevens Construction Company — have the opportunity to participate in robust, award-winning in-house courses to develop their skills in a variety of roles.

“Fresh out of college, I was eager to learn everything that went into building construction from the concrete foundations all the way through installing complex mechanical and electrical systems,” says Bill Grover, a UMaine graduate. Grover began his career with Cianbro as an engineer and is now an assistant project manager with Cianbro’s Building market. “My managers have constantly trusted me to take on more and more responsibility over the years, which has helped me grow into the position I’m in today. The level of trust at this company has really been what’s allowed me to grow.”

Last year, Cianbro introduced a new Engineering Development Program (EDP), where team members can receive the tools and knowledge to increase their success as engineers and future leaders. In addition, the program introduces participants to various roles and departments within The Cianbro Companies. Participants in the program, which consists of three 3-day sessions, receive education on the role of a project engineer and field supervisor, and further their core development in construction means and methods, engineering fundamentals, estimating, and leadership preparation.

“As a Cianbro team member, you have the opportunity to take your career to new heights with the educational, leadership, and safety courses provided by Cianbro,” says Jesse Steorts, a project engineer who successfully completed Cianbro’s EDP. “I was selected to be a part of the Engineering Development Program, which takes field and project engineers from across all markets within Cianbro. My biggest takeaway was learning the differences between each market within Cianbro and how they operate. It was eye-opening and prepared me to take the next step in my career.”

“Cianbro goes after the most challenging and unique projects in the country, and the opportunities for young engineers are unmatched at Cianbro,” adds Bertolaccini. “If you like problem-solving, creative thinking, and innovation, engineering will be a good fit for you.”

Why We Chose a Career in Engineering COURTESY OF WBRC

Members of the WBRC design team tour the new Ferland Engineering Education & Design Center at the University of Maine.

Who is a good candidate for a career in engineering? What does a civil, structural, Toby Michaud, PE — Senior Civil Engineer: mechanical, or electrical engineer do? We asked several of the newer members of “Traits of a good engineer include a person who is thoughtful, organized, and a good listener. A lot of thought goes into the design decisions that we make. Being organized WBRC’s engineering team about their chosen careers. is a must since we often have many different projects going on at once. Listening to the needs of our clients is important. What we do for work is take their vision and make Why did you become an engineer? What attracted you to this profession? it come to life.”

Joshua Crofton-Macdonald, PE — Structural Engineer: “Growing up, I had a knack for problem-solving and enjoyed building with my hands.

From puzzles to home construction projects, I loved putting things together and What would you say to a young person who is interested in becoming an seeing the finished product. Engineering was attractive to me because I saw it as an engineer but unsure if they have what it takes? opportunity to blend my love of problem-solving and modeling with my desire to be Stephanie Jewel, EI — Mechanical Designer: outside building things with my hands.”

“You can do anything you want with engineering. There are a million ways to mold it, and you may change your goals throughout your program, and most likely you can find Nathalie Rhoads — Structural Designer: a way to incorporate your new interests into engineering if you look hard enough.”

“I wanted to become an engineer so that I could have the skills to contribute to the development of safe, sustainable infrastructure. I have always been motivated by the Brandon Hardy, PE — Mechanical Engineer: fact that engineers can design solutions that improve people’s lives, and I am particularly “Do it. As an MEP engineer there is never a dull moment and you’re always learning. passionate about how those skills can be used to help those in underserved communities.” If you enjoy learning and challenging yourself, engineering is a great career.”

When people ask you what you do all day, what do you say?

Miguel Betancourt, PE — Structural Engineer: “Many say, ‘What is a structural engineer?’ I tell them that if you compare a building to a human body, the Architect would be responsible for its looks; Mechanical/Electrical/ Plumbing would be responsible for the organs, arteries, and nerves; and a Structural Engineer is responsible for the bones to make sure the body is stable and sturdy.”

Bob Curran, PE — Senior Electrical Engineer: “There is lots of work required to get to a finished drawing which can be used to construct a building, or any other similar complex system. Many days are filled with calculations, designing portions of the project, selecting the materials to be used, and then documenting this all in the finished design. Today, this is mostly done with computer programs and applications.”

When you first started working in engineering, what was most surprising to you?

Dorothy Collins — Structural Designer: “The biggest surprise was how much of what you learn in school is not really used in real life. Most of construction is driven by budget and time of construction, not the theoretical best solution.”

What traits do you think are needed to be successful in your engineering discipline?

Michael Guethle, PE — Civil Engineer: “You need to have a strong foundation in math and sciences. Once these skills are established, the traits most critical to engineering design and construction are a genuine curiosity to learn and understand, and then the soft skills of time management, bookkeeping, and communication.”
