Why Engineering?

Engineers are creative and imaginative, yet analytical and technical – with an excellent sense of judgement. As an engineer you will apply science and mathematics in a practical way to develop new technologies and improve existing ones.

Engineers solve problems, figure out how things work and create solutions. Engineers work on many different projects and find themselves in a variety of environments.

Engineers are key to the development of society and solving the challenges the world currently faces such as climate change, natural resource depletion, food shortages and increased demands on energy.
