1. Civil and structural engineering
Civil and structural engineering is concerned with the planning and construction of infrastructure such as roads,bridges, tunnels,buildings,dams, reservoirs etc. You will learn about building materials,structural behaviour and design,soil mechanics, waste
and wastewater engineering, sustainable transport and highway engineering, water resources engineering, geotechnics and engineering geology.
2. Mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineering applies the principles of physics and material sciences into the planning,design,and manufacturing of all types of machinery from medical devices to aircraft engines. Subjects include propulsion, solid and fluid mechanics,material science, electrical circuits, computer-aided design,computer systems, mechatronics, nano- and micro-mechanics among others.Mechanical engineers work in various industries such as transportation, construction,manufacturing and the environment.
3. Electrical engineering
Electrical engineering is concerned with the design and application of circuitry
and equipment for power generation and distribution, machine control,and communications. Core subjects include power systems and networks, electromagnetic fields and waves, communication and signal processing. Students are also expected to study computer hardware and software. Graduates find work in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Employers include utility, manufacturing and consulting companies.
4. Electronic engineering
Electronic engineering is concerned with the design, development,testing and maintenance of electronic components, devices and systems in various fields, from consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones to complex computer systems. Students study circuits,signals and systems, analogue and digital electronics, computing systems and programming, nanoscience and nanotechnology, RF and microwave engineering,power electronics,and control engineering among others. Graduates work in manufacturing, telecommunications, and in R&D.
5. Other engineering courses
Specialized engineering courses include agricultural,automotive, biotechnology, aeronautical,aerospace, computer, environmental, manufacturing,maritime, materials and telecommunications engineering. These courses combine the knowledge of engineering with knowledge from specific industries.
