Engineers influence almost every aspect of the modern world  – from the Civil Engineers who design and build elegant and impressive bridges, dams, and skyscrapers, to the Mechanical Engineers who make the high speed trains and streamlined cars that we get around in; from Aerospace Engineers who create lighter weight aeroplanes that are so crucial to the modern world, to the Electronic and Computer Engineers who design the software and systems for the efficient control of those planes in flight.

That is why studying engineering is one of the smartest things to do if you want a bright future. Engineers will always be in demand, and engineering is one of the best paid graduate professions.

Engineering is also about helping other people. Civil Engineers work to enable hot, dry countries to have the water they need; Electronic and Mechanical Engineers work on medical machines that save lives; and Computer Scientists design programs and computers that can monitor global climate change and provide data to improve our understanding of the processes involved. Now, many engineering disciplines are coming together to provide solutions to the world’s environmental problems.
