Engineers work in a wide range of sectors. From the latest mobile phone to driverless cars, wind turbines, lifesaving medical devices, clean water and energy, engineers have been instrumental in their design and development.
Engineers use maths and science to solve countless real-life problems that have a major impact on our world. Examples of engineering solutions include reclaiming plastics from the world’s oceans, 3D printing buildings to ease housing shortages and installing solar panels for sustainable energy in developing countries.
Engineering offers excellent management opportunities. With their problem-solving skills, engineers make great managers and many CEOs of the top 500 Fortune companies have an engineering degree.
