I want that job! Interested in the latest toys? Consider a career in toy engineering.WHAT ARE TOY ENGINEERS? [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Toy engineers are part inventor INVENTOR. One who invents or finds out something. 2. The patent laws of the United States authorize a patent to be issued to the original inventor; if the invention is suggested by another, he is not the inventor within the meaning of those laws; but in that and part scientist. They help come up with ideas for new toys, and also make sure that the ideas are possible. For example: If designing a new yo-yo yo-yo child’s toy that periodically overwhelms public’s fancy. [Am. Hist.: Sann, 173] See : Fads , a toy engineer relies on physical science to make sure the yo-yo won't won't Contraction of will not. won't will not won't will wobble wobble /wob·ble/ (wob´'l) to move unsteadily or unsurely back and forth or from side to side. See under hypothesis. wob·ble n. 1. when it spins. Toy engineers spend time researching cool new technologies to figure out how they could be used to make the next big toy. WHAT DO TOY ENGINEERS DO? After toy engineers come up with ideas for new toys, they draw them on paper or on a computer. The engineers can then try out the new design by turning their sketches into a prototype, or model. If the prototype is a success, it might be manufactured and sold to kids all over the world. It can take six months to two years for a new toy to go from an idea to a product on a store shelf. During that time, toy engineers have to keep most of their work top secret in order to prevent competitors from copying their ideas. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HOW DO TOY ENGINEERS HELP PEOPLE?

Mr. , or remote-controlled cars. Toy engineers provide kids and adults with ways to learn, get active, and have fun. They also are responsible for ensuring that the toys they design are safe. HOW DO YOU LEARN TO BECOME A TOY ENGINEER? Many toy engineers have a college degree in engineering, which requires knowledge of math, science, and computers. Other toy engineers get a degree in design, where they learn to use their art skills to draw ideas and create 3-D models showing how the parts of a toy fit together. Most important, all aspiring as·pire intr.v. as·pired, as·pir·ing, as·pires 1. To have a great ambition or ultimate goal; desire strongly: aspired to stardom. 2. toy engineers need to be imaginative and curious about how things work. HOW MUCH MONEY DO TOY ENGINEERS EARN?
