Top reasons to study engineering

Engineering can lead the way to a whole array of career prospects in a wide range of industries. But it’s not just about getting top salaries or the prestige of an engineering title; here are some top reasons to choose an engineering degree at the university today.

Transferrable skills 

An education anchored on education gives young people exposure to different technical subjects as well as skill sets. Here they will develop skills that can be applied to most industries, including decision-making, a spirit of innovation, project management, problem solving, and teamwork. 

Ability to change the world 

This might seem like a tall order, but through engineering – building bridges and infrastructure, doing complex computer and tech work, and building new modern vehicles – one can contribute in creating something new, different, and potentially life-changing for the world. 

International competencies 

Engineering teaches knowledge and skills that can be applied in any country or culture in the world. Combine this with the knowledge of a foreign language and an engineer can do more in the global arena. 

Elevating professional success 

Engineers tend to do better in their chosen careers and sector because of their decision-making abilities as well as logical thinking and critical analysis, to name a few. They also tend to be good managers, so much so that engineering is the most common undergraduate degree in Fortune 500 CEOs.
