Engineering

Are you the next Elon Musk? Do you have an interest in how things work? Do you enjoy devising mechanical or technological systems, or want to play a part in developing the physical devices and structures that people interact with on a daily basis? Engineering might be right for you. Engineering concerns the research, design, and use of machines, engines, and structures. Engineering impacts every part of modern life. Engineering is responsible for your car, your smart phone, and the roads you drive. An education in engineering can start you on the path to a career designing highway systems, developing communities, building innovative medical technology, working in research and development to create new mechanical tools, even working as an entrepreneur.
