Telecommunication engineers include the following:
Electronics engineers and mechanical engineers design and run communications satellites.
Optical engineers or fiber optics circuit designers specialize in fiber optics communication technology.
Laser engineers and electro-optic engineers also specialize in fiber optics and the use of lasers in communication.
Network engineers build company communication systems.
Traffic engineers determine how much "traffic", or number of calls, a system of telephones or computer telecommunications can handle, how many units can be connected, etc.
Installation engineers consider a proposed communication network and determine the individual circuits, wires and cables needed to make it work.
Engineering technologists work with engineers to coordinate people, material and machines related to a specific project.
Technicians work as assistants to engineers and often do jobs requiring some engineering skills.
Frameworkers install, change and disconnect customer phone lines.
Producers find and develop stories, raise the money required to make a movie, TV program or documentary film, or handle the daily operation of a project.
Directors oversee everyone involved in the actual filming of a motion picture, TV show, televised sports event, TV commercial or the staging of a play.
Location Scouts find places that fit budget and script requirements for a scene to be filmed.
Radio and Television Announcers present commercial messages, introduce shows, interview guests, etc.
Disc Jockeys are radio announcers whose jobs consist primarily of playing prerecorded music. In smaller stations the DJ may choose the music to air, while in large stations this is the job of the Programming Director.
Newscasters are radio or television announcers that read news stories over the air. In some cases, newscasters may write or rewrite their own news items.
Broadcast Technicians operate, maintain and repair, set up and monitor, and occasionally help design broadcasting equipment.
Chief Engineers are responsible for a television or radio station's technical facilities, equipment and services.
Engineering Supervisors direct the day-to-day operations of electronic and technical equipment, and oversee operating engineers.
Astronomers study the universe and all the celestial, or cosmic, bodies in space. They locate the positions of stars, calculate the orbits of comets, asteroids and artificial satellites.
Laser technicians operate, test, maintain and repair different types of laser systems.
Optometrists examine and evaluate the condition of peoples' eyes and prescribe treatment to maintain or improve their vision. Opticians make and sell glasses, contact lenses, or other optical instruments.
Optic fiber engineers design, test and manufacture flexible optically transparent fibers-glass or plastic-through which light can be transmitted.
Optical physicists specialize in the study of physical properties, interactions, laws or processes of optics: the study of the generation, propagation and detection of electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths greater than x-rays and shorter than microwaves.
Still photographers take pictures of various kinds of products, fashions or machinery. They work either indoors or outside and use many different kinds of equipment and props. Industrial photographers generally work for one company and take pictures of workers or products that are then used in brochures or advertising. Photojournalists take pictures of events, people, places or things for newspapers or magazine articles. Aerial photographers take pictures from airplanes and then sell them to newspapers, businesses, research companies or the military. Scientific photographers take pictures for scientific magazines and books.
Motion picture photographers and camera operators
make movies, TV shows and commercials. They are usually
supervised by directors of photography who plan
the filming of the motion picture.
Job Category: Sound Engineering
Acoustical engineers specialize in the designing and problem solving of equipment or spaces having to do with the generation, propagation and perception of sound.
Architectural acoustics engineers study, design and modify spaces where sound is being discerned, generated or projected.
Acousticians specialize in the study of sound, especially of its generation, propagation, perception and its interaction with materials.
Bioacousticians specialize in recording the sounds of nature. They compile libraries from which the progress of interactive species within their environment can be assessed.
Sound effects designers keep libraries of recorded sounds, simulated sounds or newly designed sounds to represent or enhance events in movie sound tracks or other recordings.
Sound mixers take sounds recorded separately and combine them into one recording, called a master.
Recording engineers operate the recording equipment used in recording studios. They are responsible for the quality of sound that is put onto a CD, record, tape or soundtrack.
Sound system designers create and customize sound components into integrated systems tailored for the needs of their clients.
