Engineering

Two engineers discussing diagrams with multiple engineered parts.

Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to design, build, and innovate solutions that improve the world around us. It helps us understand how structures, systems, and technologies function and evolve to meet human needs. A strong foundation in engineering is essential for careers in aerospace, robotics, renewable energy, biomedical innovation, and countless other fields. Engineering holds the key to solving global challenges—developing sustainable infrastructure, advancing medical technology, and creating cutting-edge solutions for a better future. If you're passionate about problem-solving, innovation, and making a tangible impact, this is the field for you.
