Are you interested to become an engineer? If you are, you are in the right place. Electrical engineers supervise the manufacturing and installation of electrical equipment, as well as design and develop it. These professionals create electrical systems and equipment for industrial, scientific, and military uses. These professionals are sometimes called "electronics experts" and their duties include designing power systems, transformers, or other electrical equipment. There are many types and specializations in electrical engineering, including those that specialize in commercial or military applications.
FAQ
Are there any special requirements to study engineering?
No. You only need to get good grades in your GCSEs. Some universities will require applicants to demonstrate certain academic achievement in order to be eligible for enrollment. Cambridge University, for instance, requires applicants to earn A*-C grades (in Maths, English Language or Science)
You will need to complete additional courses if you do not meet the requirements.
Additional maths/science subjects or a language course might be required. These options can be discussed with your school's guidance counselors.
Which engineering discipline is the most difficult?
The most difficult engineering challenge is to design a system that is robust enough to handle all possible failure modes while at the same time being flexible enough to allow for future changes.
This requires a lot of testing and iteration. This requires an understanding of the system's behavior when things go wrong. You need to ensure that you don't just solve one problem, but that you design a solution that addresses multiple problems simultaneously.
What does a Chemical Engineer do?
Chemical engineers combine science, math, engineering, technology, business skills, and science to create chemical processes, products and equipment.
Chemical engineers can specialize in areas such as petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, agriculture, textiles, plastics, paper, mining, metallurgy, and power generation.
They work closely with researchers and scientists to solve complex technical problems.
