Engineers and scientists are crucial for the performance and
competitiveness of our country. Engineers support businesses in
areas like research and design and product development. The
engineering industry already employs over 1.6 million people and
employers are keen to increase their intake of new, young recruits
with all the right skills.
Engineers are responsible for every device that makes our lives
easier and more fun – everything from cars to mobile phones,
sportswear, medical devices and water treatment systems.
Most of the appliances that the modern world relies on run on
electricity and electrical engineers are the people responsible for
developing and making such electrical appliances.
Engineers help us communicate via the internet and digital
television. An engineer has helped to design and build the
computers and printers we use, the chairs we sit on, our mobile
phones, the planes we go on holiday in; even the saucepans we use
to cook our dinner.
Studying the Diploma in Engineering offers great future career
prospects.
