About Engineering
Do you enjoy solving problems, and we don’t just mean mathematics? Are you curious about how things work? If you would like to be at the cutting edge of scientific and technological advancements, then becoming a professional engineer will provide a challenging career where you can utilise these abilities and interests and turn ideas into reality.
As a professional engineer you can be a driver of change in society and be not only responsible for the technology change, but also the impact it has on communities, society and the environment in general. Professional engineers work with people, they listen, then set about solving problems for people and communities.
Civil engineering typically involves infrastructure systems planning, design and supervision including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource systems.
Mechanical engineering typically involves planning, design and supervision in climate control, manufacturing and process and machine systems.
Electrical engineering typically specialises in systems design, development and maintenance of systems associated with electrical power and energy, telecommunications, instrumentation and control, microprocessors, and electronics.
