Further
Education
Besides preparing you for a job, an engineering degree gives you a good
background for several types of further education. Many graduating engineers
go on to school either immediately following or after working for a couple
of years. Having a bachelor's degree in a certain type of engineering does
not mean you have to continue your education in the same major. Some opportunities
in higher education are Law School, Medical School, Business School and
Graduate school in a technical mayor other than your own. |

Understanding
Technology Makes A Difference
You will understand the myriad technologies that govern so much our lives,
and thus not be controlled by them. Engineering is a rewarding career option
that will make you feel good about contributing to a healthier, safer and
more enjoyable life for your fellow citizens. With an engineering education
you can be 10 years designing spacecraft to explore the Milky Way, building
nuclear engines to power cities, saving lives through new laser applications
or applying computer technology to solving problems in the 21st century. |

Creating
Is Rewarding
Engineering
can be rewarding because you are compensated for creating.
An engineering education will encourage you to be creative
in designing a new product, building machines, electronic
circuits, or computer software. An Engineering education
together with your innate creative ability can create
or design something that never existed. Thus your engineering
education will provide you with technical tools to encourage
your creativity. Engineering is associated with other
creative fields, particularly the fine arts. Art is simply
something we create, the result of our creativity. The
originators of engineering were craft people, such as
flint knappers, whose understanding of different types
of materials and its intrinsic properties allowed them
to refine nature and create weapons and tools. |
