Careers in Engineering

Engineers will enjoy a positive job outlook as both governments and different industries push to maximise production for global populations with limited resources. While the average growth in this field will be 4% in the next decade, some professions will have better prospects, i.e. biomedical engineers, environmental engineers and civil engineers. Those successfully employed with an engineering degree are part of industries like law, construction, information technology, science, medicine, and banking. In this career path, you will design, build or maintain highly technical solutions to diverse challenges crosscutting various sectors. Specific talents of an engineer determine whether he or she follows a career focusing on research, administrative duties, design or production. Depending on your interest, you can work as an avionics engineer that deals with aircraft and spacecraft electrical systems like satellite navigation devices. If you enjoy buildings design, consider being a civil engineer that develops plans based on construction project specifications whether it is bridges, buildings, auditoriums, dams, etc. In case you are passionate about environmental study, you may work as a biological engineer to explore and develop better conservation techniques for natural resources.
