2. Why Choose Engineering?
‘
Engineer’ literally means to “make things
happen”. Engineering is about the design and
production of useful products and services.
Engineering know-how converts scientific
knowledge into technology and then
technology into successful innovation. Many
seemingly simple aspects of our daily lives
have been conceptualized, designed and
developed by an engineer.

4. Engineers have diverse careers
Engineering is an exciting career. Engineers achieve
great things. Throughout history, people working in
engineering have contributed to their communities,
countries, colleagues and civilisations by making
tools, machines and countless other things to help
people improve their lives and progress onto better
things.
The diversity of engineering means that whatever your
interest, there is probably a place for you working in
engineering. From information technology to
medical science and mining, from building roads to
space travel, engineers are working to make things
happen.

5. Engineers(SKILLED) are in demand
There is growing skill shortage of trained engineering
workers across all engineering sectors. are the number
one barrier to business growth and delivery.,
technology Current workforce projections show that
Australia needs more engineers (TAFE and university
graduates) to maintain the level of growth in the
Australian economy.
We need more engineering personnel to build roads,
support hospitals, staff climate change projects,
modernise Australia’s Defence Force and the list goes
on.What does a skills shortage mean for people
considering engineering as a career choice – job
security. It is that simple.

6. Engineers get to do cool stuff
Being an engineer means you get to be the first to
develop or try out new technologies like artificial
hearts, developing and delivering better
constructed environmentally sustainable buildings
like the first undersea house! Engineers design
and build virtual reality worlds, soccer fields or
new planets.
Engineers discover and patent new materials that
can cure cancer or cure the common cold.
Engineers are involved in making the future a
reality.

7. Engineers work everywhere
Engineers work everywhere: in cities, regional and
rural communities, even remote wilderness areas.
Some engineers work business offices, classrooms,
others in factories or research labs; some work
outdoors or even in outer space.Some engineers
undertaken double degrees and go into medicine,
law, business management, or policy.
An engineering education will prepare you for many
different careers.

8. Engineers get to travel
Just think that right after graduation from TAFE or
university you might be earning a relatively good
income and/or be offered work on interesting and
challenging projects in interesting parts of Australia or
the world.
An engineering career offers the opportunity to travel
around the world making a difference and contributing
to communities. It is a versatile and rewarding career
which can take students anywhere they want to go –
either with companies, governments, aid organisations,
or as your own boss.
