Areas of study

Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineers are concerned with the extraction, refining and processing of gases, liquids and solids to produce everyday products from toothpaste to steel, while also applying their skills to address and solve the most significant issues facing the international community in the 21st Century; the provision of portable water, overcoming greenhouse gas emissions, and the establishment of clean energy sources.

Civil Engineering
The civil engineer's job is to solve problems relating to the infrastructure of modern society, and to consider the environmental impact, efficiency and cost effectiveness of infrastructure as diverse as bridges and dams, public and private buildings, transportation and water supply.

Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers aim to find and develop sustainable solutions for complex environmental problems, including water pollution and soil erosion, planning, managing and operating engineered systems so that society can co-exist with the environment in a sustainable way.

Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineers work to improve the design, safety and energy efficiency of the machines that support industry and society through the control and utilisation of motion and energy. Mechanical engineers design and manufacture products such as air conditioners, wheelchairs and aircraft through their knowledge of materials, energy and structures. 

Mechatronics Engineering
Mechatronics engineers are concerned with the design, automation and operational performance of electro-mechanical systems. This newer form of engineering, born out of a combination of established disciplines, is involved in a diverse range of exciting modern technologies that includes robotics, vehicles, aircraft and biomechanics.

Surveying
Surveyors collect, manipulate, store and share of spatial data to solve problems in areas such as land use, mineral extraction, mapping and marine environments. Many surveyors employ complex information systems, such as satellite positioning and remote sensing, to apply their knowledge of measurement and measurement systems across an extensive range of industries.
