What’s it like being an engineer?

Have you ever wondered who invented spacecraft and made airplanes fly, how water sources can be developed in countries suffering drought or how the improved graphics in computer games and movies are created?

They are all innovations imagined, designed and created by engineers. Engineering is an exciting career that plays an important part in our lives.

There is a huge range of engineering disciplines to choose from. A discipline is another word for a field of study or a specialty. Just like how doctors can choose to be surgeons or GP’s, engineers can choose what they want to specialise in.

So, we asked some Engineers to tell you a little bit about what they do and why they do it!
