To become an engineer, you must earn a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related discipline. Many universities provide both undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering.
In South Africa, students have various engineering fields to choose from, tailored to their interests and career aspirations.
Civil engineering involves designing and constructing infrastructure like buildings, bridges, roads, and water supply systems.
Mechanical engineering is centred on developing, manufacturing, and maintaining mechanical systems.
Electrical engineering focuses on electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
Chemical engineering deals with the design and operation of chemical processes and the production of various substances.
Computer engineering merges electrical engineering and computer science to create hardware and software systems.
