Answer 1

It often depends upon the place you work and the type of position you hold. BTW: Does travel by astronauts count?
A petroleum engineer would likely travel if he worked for a drilling and exploration company but not if he worked for a local refinery.
Civil engineers working on these Mega-projects of international airports, construction of Dubai, International dams, etc. would need to travel.

Answer 2

Not necessarily a "type" of engineer - it's more the part of the field you get into. The ones in sales do the most traveling. Working for a major equipment manufacturer will also mean more travel - to the sites where they are having problems.

Answer 3

In my experience sales engineers. Engineers not familiar with any of the details of a product, but who know enough to sell the product to customers.

Answer 4

Sales engineers, or sales reps. These can be any type of engineer, as mechanical engrs. rep mechanical equipment, electrical engineers rep electrical equipment, etc., etc.

Answer 5

hmm... Probably civil, environmental engineers.

Depends on where do you work. If you get a job in a big city, like LA, NY, Phoenix, you will get paid pretty well. At least starting at $50,000 a year

Answer 6

railroad engineers
