Structural Engineers are types of architects which help in the design of large-scale structures such as bridges or skyscrapers. The role of these structural engineers is to make stable structures which can survive the elements. They calculate forces acting on buildings and the weight of the building to design a safe structure. Commonly a resultant force must be calculated from the composition of forces such as hurricanes, tornados and tsunamis. the forces as previous mentioned all contain magnitudes and directions supporting in the use of calculating vectors to prepare safe structures. 

In many sports the application of vectors are used and valued. Vectors are used to determine where a baseball may land or the distance travelled by a football. Vectors provide an exact measurement for which a player needs to make that goal and score a point for their team. Using Force, direction and distance a basketball player is consistently able to control where their ball is thrown. In baseball a board is often kept to check the velocity of each pitch thrown, these values help for teams to separate players between the good and the bad. In mixed martial arts the force produced by a person is constantly tested and calculated to see hitting force and speed.

In hospitals machines are commonly used to diagnose patients and to find the cause of injury. These machines such as the MRI, X-ray, ultrasound and CT-scan are used to locate the exact location of an injury. commonly in MRI's a magnetic field is used to locate these injuries, the only way this magnetic field works is by the use of magnetic field vectors. These vectors are used to control the strength and direction the magnetic resonance imaging are applying to someone getting diagnosed inside the MRI.
