Science and Engineering

Do you have an inquisitive mind? If you wonder what makes the world tick and have an interest in developing innovative solutions to problems, you’re a perfect candidate for a career in science or engineering.

Science 

Science is a diverse field, covering everything from the human body to animals, nature and the universe. You can study many subjects, from chemistry to biology, or specialise in one field such as human nutrition, marine life, forensic science and more.

Science is an important field that involves investigating, understanding, and explaining the natural, physical world and the universe. It progresses humanity towards new and extraordinary developments, from cures for disease to technological advances.

Scientific work involves exploring and analysing ideas and gathering evidence by way of observation, investigation, research and collaboration to develop scientific knowledge, understanding, and explanations.

Studying science helps you gain a better understanding of the world and promotes problem-solving and decision-making in many areas of life.

Engineering 

Engineering is a diverse occupation covering many industries and career paths, from scientists to designers and inventors, and can be divided into four mainstream areas – chemical, civil, mechanical and electrical.

Engineers are creative, problem-solvers. They apply science and mathematics to create new technology and solve the world’s most significant challenges. In fact, if it’s been built, launched or invented, you can bet engineering was behind it.

A background in engineering provides a unique combination of skills and knowledge that can be applied in almost any industry. As such, an engineer’s career options are diverse and fascinating, from developing solutions to combat climate change to becoming a CEO of ASX100 companies, the sky’s the limit.

Studying engineering is a safe bet that you’ll be in demand in almost every industry sector whatever your chosen career. Explore our exciting range of professional development courses in engineering and find your new direction.
