Engineering is NEVER
boring or repetitive
Worried about having to perform dull and mundane
tasks over and over again? Don’t be, as engineers
are required to check calculations (which are vital so
nothing explodes or collapses!), read technical papers,
and write technical reports, among many other things.
Through engineering you will never be short of new
challenges.
You are constantly required to come up with ideas
that no one else has thought of and get to make a big
impression on the world.
You are often faced with regularly
having to adapt solutions and
change technology to move with
trends, needs and the environment.

Flexibility and choice:
Different engineers
could still work together
when building a tunnel
Engineering offers so many choices to the point that
you can have a hard time deciding on which one fits
you – from electrical and mechanical engineering to
computer science or civil engineering, the various
areas of engineering are all exciting and in high
demand. Engineering degrees open up a road to
flexible education and many career paths – you can
continue to earn an MBA, and move onto other
great careers.
An electrical engineer will design
the lighting as well as any control
systems for hazard signs.
The mechanical engineer would plan for the amount
of emissions that need to remove and the process of
removing them.

When it comes to building a tunnel, different
types of engineers could still band together and
achieve their mission. This typically does not occur
in other professions.
A civil engineer who specialises in structural design
(structural engineer) would calculate the size of the
tunnel, how it i
