Withinengineering, civil is one of the largest sectors.Civil EngineerM E D I A N  S A L A R Y : $ 8 4 , 7 7 0Some mathematicians conduct research anddevelop theories for us. Others use appliedmathematics to solve our everyday problems. Manymathematicians work in private science andengineering research companies alongsideengineers, scientists and other professionals.MathematicianM E D I A N  S A L A R Y : $ 1 0 4 , 8 6 0Biomedical engineers research and developsolutions to our medical and biological problems.They use their engineering principles to developnew devices, therapies, and diagnostic tools totreat medical problems. One example is a bionichand that can sense and feel!Biomedical EngineerM E D I A N  S A L A R Y : $ 8 8 , 0 4 0Statisticians analyze data and apply mathematicalmodels to solve our real-world problems. They alsohelp companies make decisions based on data.
