Engineering

Engineering plays a vital part in nearly every sector of the economy – not just manufacturing, but in all kinds of other areas such as transport, power and water generation, construction, broadcasting, cinema, the armed services and healthcare to name a few. All these activities are increasingly operating globally. Moreover, engineering is a complex activity with many different strands that often take place in a number of different locations. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, the chances are that you are going to work across cultural boundaries.
