If people have built it, moved it, improved it, revised it, super-sized it or launched it into orbit, you can be sure that engineering had something to do with it.Engineering is an exciting and unique career but it's often referred to as the ‘invisible' or ‘stealth' profession? 

Not because engineers run around in spy gear, but because most people don't have a clue what they really do. 

Create the world that never was... 

That's, according to Hungarian aeronautical engineer and mathematical genius Theodore Von Karman. When he wasn't busy playing with aeroplanes, Theo once said: 

"Scientists study the world as it is, but engineers create the world that never was!"

What’s so cool about engineering? 

What makes engineering so awesome is that engineers are responsible for creating many of the things we use and take for granted every day. 

  • Build better roads, airports, bridges or satellites.
  • Help people communicate in a virtual world.
  • Find new sources of energy.
  • Build information systems.
  • Find new forms of entertainment.
  • Design ways to protect the environment.
  • Help people live a better quality life.
