One of the oldest forms of engineering is civil and structural engineering, which involves the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment. Engineers in this field are responsible for ensuring that the infrastructure around us, gets developed, is safe, meets our needs and improves our quality of life. This includes buildings, bridges, railways, tunnels, water distribution and waste management networks. As a civil engineer you could be involved in sustainable urban development, environmental protection, conservation of energy and water resources, or even geotechnical, hydraulic or transport engineering. You could even specialise in fields such as earthquake and blast-resistant technologies.

The field of engineering concerned with the study and application of electricity and electromagnetism is electrical engineering. Essential to our modern infrastructure and conveniences, electrical engineers employ their skills across a large number of specializations, including the design of household appliances, lighting, the wiring of buildings, telecommunication systems, power generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization. Electrical engineers can be involved in designing new systems, solving problems, testing equipment and working on a wide range of components and systems, from the smallest microchips to huge power station generators.

The field of engineering that applies physics and the material sciences to develop machinery, is mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers use the principles of force, energy, and motion to improve the safety, efficiency and technological advancement of the world around us. They are involved in the design manufacture and operational processes of anything that moves, from the tiniest, simplest micro-particles to the largest, most complex spacecraft and everything in between. As a mechanical engineer, you have a skill set that is applicable to many industries in the world, including automotive, transport, manufacturing, power generation, medical, consumer goods and more!
