Engineering Your Future

Engineering is the practical application of science. Engineers are involved in the research and development, design, manufacturing and production of the machinery, products and systems of everyday life - from cars to hospital equipment; from computers to drilling rigs; from alternative energy to communication systems.

The word engineering usually makes us think of car mechanics or ‘engineering works’ which delay train journeys and cause traffic hold-ups on the roads. But find out what they really do...

Civil engineers plan, design and implement construction projects including buildings, roads, railways, dams, ports, tunnels and bridges.

Careers In Electrical
Engineering

Electricity and electronics are all around us. Not only everyday products, such as mobile phones, DVD players and household appliances, but also areas such as food production, railways and medical equipment, all rely on electrical and electronic engineering. This is a fascinating and truly diverse area of work. In this booklet you will learn about a wide range of opportunities in this field, in sectors such as energy and power, manufacturing, the service industries, transport, communications, aeronautical and scientific.

Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace engineers design, develop, and test aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles and supervise the production of these products. Those who work with aircraft are called aeronautical engineers, and those working specifically with spacecraft are astronautical engineers.
