WELCOME TO ENGINEERING…

Would you like to help somebody walk again?

Or put a robot on Mars?

How about designing hacker proof security systems for the secret intelligence service?

Do you have an interest in taking stuff apart, making things, playing games and problem solving?

Then you need to be an engineer, or more specifically, a modern digital engineer.

E

ngineers design and build everything around you. The "modern" engineer creates your cell phone, your computer, your flat screen TV, new hospital equipment, your computer games, and social networks that allow millions of people to communicate with each other. Engineering is everywhere!

Electronic, computer systems and mechatronic engineers design computers, robotic vacuum cleaners, cellphones, cars –all the electronic gadgets you could ever dream of. Software engineers put in place computer programmes that give these devices the intelligence to work safely and reliably. Network engineers work out how to link the millions of devices around the world and design the security systems to prevent your systems from being hacked.

The modern engineer is the hero of today's world. Without them, the world would be a far less pleasant place to live.
