Specific Discipline Courses
Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is one of
the oldest disciplines of
engineering, it deals with
the construction and
designing of non moving
structures.
Some examples are: Highways,
skyscrapers, bridges, hotels, houses,
docks, etc
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is the discipline of
moving structures, that applies the principles of
physics. This branch also involves the production
of hydroelectric power.
Mechanical Engineers
also team up with
engineers from other
disciplines such as
Aerospace.
Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering is
becoming very popular!
Future challenges in managing
and restoring our natural
environment.
Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineering includes power,
electronics, control systems, signal
processing and telecommunications.
Chemical
Engineering
Chemical Engineering uses the principles of chemistry,
physics and mathematics for the manufacture of chemical
products.
Chemical Engineers also design new drugs and medicines
.

Responsibility
The engineering profession is self governing:
Members are responsible for governing the
profession, admission of practitioners and
discipline of members in accordance with the
Engineering Profession Act
and the By Laws of the
Association.
Members are subject to a Code of Ethics
as well.
Our Mission
To serve and protect the public interest
To advance and promote the value and
proficiency of the Engineering profession
To support members
in their professional
practice
Engineering is a Way of Life
The
Pride
and
Belonging
Our Experiences
Thank You
We hope you consider a future in
engineering! Engineers are in
demand, and Employers are looking
for you.
Engineering Principles
Another engineering principle is building with
support. To build up you must have a good base, so the
structure doesn’t topple over.
Activity: In groups with marshmallows, and spaghetti,
you must see how high you can make your structure.
