  To be honest the first time I’d heard about all the branches of engineering was reading through university guides when I was 16 and I was really interested to find out more. I had some ideas before as my Dad is a civil engineer.
  As well as thinking about all the varieties, I like to think that all engineers are united in a common way, they solve problems and make the world a better place!
