    An engineer can wear a variety of different clothing depending on the job location and role responsibilities. For engineering jobs located in office buildings, engineers will wear anything from jeans to a suit depending on the company culture. Some engineering roles require specialty clothing, for example, a civil engineer might need a hard hat and steel-toed boots or a chemical engineer might wear a lab coat and protective glasses.

    I work in software engineering, and I wear jeans and a blouse to work. Sometimes the technologies we work on are 'wearable', so check out some of the wearable technologies such as fitness trackers.

    No matter what you are wearing, engineering uses your brain to solve problems which is very rewarding!
