Career changemakers Engineers are the innovators in the workplace, introducing new ideas and products

hen you study engineering, you learn a problem-solving approach that’s totally different from the way scientists, marketers or business-minded professionals approach a problem. You learn to challenge what’s established and break big problems down into smaller ones. Wherever you work, as an engineer you are an innovator – disrupting the way things are and creating a better way of doing things. You’ll be in demand from day one – and work with a mix of people, from those just starting out like you, to the people calling the shots. And it couldn’t be more rewarding! You’ll work in major companies creating new ideas to transform workplace processes, technologies and ideas. – Heather Catchpole
