What is a Meteorological Engineer?

Has two main fields :
o Meteorology
o Engineering

Engineering is used for designing new technology and is helpful

with all the math involved when using radars/equipment.

Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere (weather) and it comes

into play when predicting future weather

What Branch of Engineering Does it Come From?

Ch ar tTitl e

Meteorological Engineering, M.E., most relates to mechanical engineering

because of how much technology you have to work with and it also affects the
other fields of engineering, but not as direct
Electrical engineers are involved because of when making the machines you
have to be able to wire everything
Civil and chemical engineering arent as
involved, but they can be affected

What Does a Meteorological Engineer Do?

A M.E. is categorized under atmospheric and space scientist
They work on creating and innovating weather equipment such
as:
o Thermometer
o Barometers
o Anemometers
Also works on collecting data of weather patterns, predicting
weather, etc.

What are the requirements to be a

Meteorological Engineer?
The minimum education to be a meteorological engineer would
be to have a bachelors degree (4 years) in:
o Atmospheric science
o Meteorology
o High levels of math
o High levels of science
American Meteorological Society

How Does This Relate to The Grand Challenge?

The Grand Challenge that a M.E. would most be involved in
would be:
o Develop Carbon Sequestration Methods
This is because meteorology deals with the atmosphere and this
grand challenge is all about getting CO2 out of the air (Climate
Change)
A way to solve this would be to create absorbers, use more
renewable/eco-friendly fuel sources, and store CO2 safely
