      everything !
      it’s paid for me to have somewhere to live, paid for a vehicle or 4, and allows me to have a pet too, so engineering is usefull. I’ve also used my skills to help neighbours + friends when they’ve got stuck with something.

      Engineering is a long term career to me. It has given me real purpose and meaning. I can look forward to making the world a better place because of it.

      Engineering to me is a way of life, women are seriously under represented in the field of engineering. Only 11% of practising engineers are females. Only 20% of engineering degrees are awarded to females. Engineering is about how hard you work, it’s not a natural talent or ability. It doesn’t come easy for most, but if you put in the time you can become an engineer.

      thanks

      For me it is everything you see around you. It’s basically what makes the world work. I love being part of that, even if its a tiny part. I love being able to figure out how something works and identify ways to improve even the most mundane of everyday objects. It’s a great career and has provided me with many opportunities and the life I have today.
