Engineering is a diverse field with many distinct disciplines outside of the four most prominent ones. This section will provide a brief guide to some of the other engineering areas you can work in.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineers work with machines. They are involved at all stages of their lifecycle, including designing, manufacturing and maintaining them as well as guiding their operation.
Civil Engineering
Roads, bridges, airports, railways and other significant construction projects are built and maintained with the input of civil engineers.
Manufacturing

Manufacturing and industrial engineers take on the complex task of producing goods in large numbers. They are problem-solvers who make the entire process involved in manufacturing and distributing a product more efficient.
Chemical Engineering
Many industries depend on chemical processes, particularly manufacturing and natural resource industries. These processes require chemical engineers who can safely design and execute design chemical processes.
Electrical & Electronic Engineering
Electrical engineering involves large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control. Electronic Engineering on the other hand is generally smaller in scale, involving the precision designing of electronic circuits that use components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and transistors.
Energy and Utilities

The energy and utilities sector ensures that we are provided with the services to literally power our modern day lifestyle.
Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering is key in the development and recreation of artificial organs, limbs and skin.
Medtech

Career opportunities in the world of medical technologies range from the research, design and engineering of products such as artificial hearts, ventilators and wheelchairs.
