How to Use this Handbook The Engineering Employment Handbook 2009 has been designed to assist members in securing employment at all stages of their career lifecycle, whether that be vacation, graduate or general employment. For those of you who may know some young aspiring engineers, an additional feature in this years Handbook is a listing of organisations that provide high school student work experience. If you are currently studying an Undergraduate University or TAFE course and are seeking employment in 2009 -10, you may refer to the Employment Summary Table from page 25 that can help you quickly identify the organisations offering opportunities relevant to you. Each individual listing in the Handbook includes the following:

The nominated contact details of recruitment personnel Organisational profile outlining main activities and general background The engineering disciplinary area of interest The type of work available Application methods Closing dates

Employment opportunities have been broken up into three sections: 1. 2. 3.

Undergraduate Vacation Employment; Graduate Employment; and General Employment.

Undergraduate Vacation Employment This section displays the minimum year level the organisation requires for vacation work; an outline of the work vacation employees can expect to undertake; how to submit applications for employment and any closing dates for applications. Graduate Employment Organisations offering a graduate development program or Professional Development Program (PDP) will specify this in their listing. This section outlines the type of work that is on offer plus additional information regarding salary packages, work-life balance, superannuation and other employment benefits. Information relating to submitting applications can also be found here. General Employment If you are a professional engineer looking for a job change then this is where you will find general employment opportunities for a variety of different positions – depending on the organisation’s current employment requirements.

The Importance of Vacation Employment Exposure to professional engineering practice is a key element of the engineering education process and should be integrated with other more traditional learning approaches. Engineers Australia is the accrediting authority for engineering education programs in Australia and requires education programs at the level of Professional Engineer and Engineering Technologist to include activities such as the following as part of the educational design.

Use of staff with industry experience Practical experience in an engineering environment outside the teaching establishment Mandatory exposure to lectures on professional ethics and conduct Use of guest presenters Industry visits and inspections An industry based final year project Industry research for feasibility studies Study of industry policies, processes, practices and benchmarks Interviewing engineering professional Industry based investigatory assignments Direct industry input of data and advice to problem solving, projects and evaluation tasks Electronic links with practicing professionals Case studies

Vacation employment can provide a key element of exposure when you are able to take up placement in an appropriate engineering workplace. In order to make the most of this opportunity it is important that both you and the employer understand how exposure to professional practice can enrich and contribute to the overall learning process. Why Report? Your vacation employment experience is an integral part of your curriculum and the learning outcomes will be monitored and evaluated, just as are other components of your learning. It is critical that you are able to track the contributions your work placement (vacation employment) experiences are able to make to the delivery of the graduate outcomes designated for the academic program as a whole. Vacation employment is often packaged as an academic unit, or subject in its own right and will typically have reporting requirements for both you as a student and the employer. This `subject’ must be satisfactorily completed and professional reporting of your vacation employment experience is essential. A copy of your work experience report can also be provided with job applications to prospective employers and provide you with a competitive edge in the job market. What to Report On Your vacation experience coordinator should provide you with specific reporting requirements such as whether you are required to keep a daily journal, or write a formal report at the end of the industry placement. Ideally, such a report should outline the tasks or projects you were involved in, the contribution and responsibility you had, any problems you faced and the links you feel were apparent with your engineering studies. This should include a self-analysis and evaluation of how you see the specific work episodes or experiences contributed to the development of your capabilities and especially to the designated graduate outcomes specified for your degree program.

Gaining Chartered Status via PDP Q. My company has asked me to achieve Chartered status. What does this mean? A. To obtain Chartered status, engineers must demonstrate they;

Have acquired the technical knowledge appropriate to an experienced practitioner in their discipline and can apply that knowledge in their workplace; Can work ethically; Are committed to continuing their professional development; and Could practice largely independently.

In demonstrating these qualities, engineers must produce written reports on a collection of projects they’ve completed and undergo a professional interview with an industry panel. Q. What are the benefits for me? A. Achieving Chartered Status:

Means you will get the most challenging and exciting work, you are more likely to get promoted and you will get to work on the best projects; and

Will make you more marketable, both nationally and internationally, through a recognised, industry best practice program.

In addition, a benefit of Chartered Status comes from the linkage to registration, which is becoming more important to governments and consumers of engineering services. Having met the requirements of Engineers Australia, chartered practitioners automatically qualify to be registered on either the National Professional Engineers Register or the National Engineering Technologists Register. Q. What does my company stand to gain? A. The personal and professional development of engineers is critical to delivering projects and sustainment on time, on budget and to the required quality, capability and safety. The technical regulatory environment means companies need to have engineers with Chartered Status – where the engineering decisions made are backed up by recognised competency. Companies send a clear signal to industry and Government of their intent to continue to grow their internal engineering, project and program management expertise.

Applying for Chartered Status Q. How many years work experience do I need before I can apply for Chartered Status? A. You can apply for Chartered Status after you have gained a minimum of three years of engineering experience. Q. I’ve registered on the Professional Development Program. How do I begin my application for Chartered Status? A. The first thing to do is to read your copy of the Chartered Status Handbook available from the web: >> http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/education/chartered-status/chartered-status.cfm The handbook provides information on the process for assessment, report writing and application submission. If your company runs an endorsed PDP, the company will host an information session on the program and getting started, so make sure you ask to be enrolled in a PDP.

Starting Salaries Graduate Careers Australia identified engineering as “one of the top ten ranked sectors in terms of starting salaries in Australia.” The average base starting salary for an engineer with a bachelor’s (4-6 year) degree ranges from $51,400 to $78,000 - significantly higher than graduates with degrees in many other fields. As a result of growing skill shortages across many fields of engineering are generating higher graduate salaries and other benefits for engineering students. Female and male engineering graduates started out on the same salary levels. The table below lists the average starting salaries for different engineering disciplines.

Marketing You! You resume is your personal marketing tool. You should think about ways of enhancing the layout and appearance of this document. Don’t make the mistake of copying your details into a template or familiar format. Be creative and take some time to single out your unique qualities and experiences that will help you stand out from the crowd. Remember that employers are inundated with applications for a position so you need to put on your marketing hat and use some common marketing techniques to help you be shortlisted. What is your career goal? What type of job are you looking for? What experience do you have that is relevant to this position? Do you have the relevant qualification and education? Who are your target employers? Make a list of the companies you would like to work for and the type of occupations you are interested in applying for. Remember that your resume must be designed with your target audience in mind (i.e. employers) so if you are applying for a technical job you must be conservative and informative in your tone to successfully articulate your expertise. Now that you know what your goals are, your qualities and who you’re targeting you can develop the rest of your marketing plan including a cover letter, resume and a two-minute pitch on why you feel you are the perfect candidate for a particular job.

Résumé or CV? Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV)? What are the main differences? These terms are generally interchangeable but in many countries the term CV refers to a more detailed resume which includes more information on work experience, community involvement, further education and achievements. If you are applying for employment overseas it may be appropriate to apply with a CV. If you are unsure, double-check with your prospective employer and the exact type of information they require. Resume and/or CV’s can come in a range of styles, including chronological, functional and targeted. Chronological: the information in your resume is presented under a series of key headings (personal details, work experience, education, achievements etc). It is always important to include date and use these to place all information in order, with the most recent listed first. Functional: this type of information focuses on skills and capabilities rather than history. The same categories as a chronological resume may be used but the information will be set out differently. For example, work experience would be organised into categories (e.g. design, project management, management) rather than into date order. Targeted: is similar to a function resume where the information is focused on skills and capabilities but this type of resume is targeted towards a particular job. This type of resume would be used to demonstrate how you can meet the requirements outlined in the position description and information would be grouped according to your skills and qualities relevant to the position you are applying for.

14


Guidelines for Preparing a Résumé The purpose of a resume is to sell your skills to a potential employer, rather like a marketing tool than a detailed report. It needs to grab the reader’s attention by demonstrating that you are qualified to do the job. Resume Content The following list can be the starting point for a new resume or a checklist to help you evaluate your existing resume. Part 1Personal Details List your name and contact details, including your postal address and telephone contact numbers, as well as an email address. Career Objective: If you do include an objective, expect to rewrite it or change it slightly to match each job you apply for. Part 2 Education Qualifications: List the name of the degree, the Institution and the year completed. After you have completed your degree, you do not need to include details of your high school education. Professional Experience: Keep these brief and informative, but as a general rule include the most detail about your current job. Don’t forget to include part-time student work and vacation employment. List in chronological order, with the most recent job listed first. Include the following:

Company & Title Job Summary- include duties & responsibilities, emphasise your achievements in relation to business goals.

Part 3 Additional Information: You may want to list names and contact details of referees, or advise that they are available upon request. Other items may include professional training, professional affiliations & memberships, licenses and accreditations, knowledge of foreign languages, publications, special accomplishments /awards and interests. It is also a good idea to include any volunteer work in a resume. This will help capture the employer’s attention as it shows them that you are an involved member of society and that you are committed to making the community a safer and better place to live. For those about to graduate, you may not have a job history to include, so highlight your personal skills & attributes. If education is your strongest asset, list it first, paying attention to the courses that are relevant to the position. If your part-time work was not related to the position you are aiming for describe the skills and attributes you gained in doing it rather than just your duties, e.g. Hospitality develops customer services skills, time management skills as well as working under pressure and with a team.

Résumé Tips

Your resume should be between one and three pages in length

Use 11 or 12-point font. Anything smaller is too hard to read

Use dot points. They will improve readability and assist you to be brief and concise

Check for spelling and grammatical errors. It might be a good idea to have someone else check over it for you, preferably someone in the industry

Be honest, statements in resumes will be checked up in either the interview or with referees

Avoid initials and jargon and write in plain English

Don’t forget to include out of work interests and hobbies as well as any professional associations or membership organisations you belong to. Potential employers like to get an idea of the “whole” person they are going to meet

The purpose of your resume is to entice the reader to call and find out more about you and what you have to offer the company. It’s not intended to actually get you the job, that’s for the interview

If mailing or delivering your resume, use good quality plain paper

If emailing your resume use a common program such as Microsoft Word. If it can’t be opened easily it probably won’t get read.

What are employers looking for? Initiative

Learning

Motivation

Self management

Oral and written communication

Creative problem solving

Team player

Planner

Leadership

Organisation

Critical and analytical thinking

Information gathering

Community involvement

Ambition

Adaptability

Diligence

Guidelines for Job Application Letters

Application letters should be no more than one page in length;

Address the letter to the person mentioned in the advert, or ring the organisation and get a name;

Your opening paragraph should aim to get the reader’s attention and let them know why you are writing;

Use dot points that relate to items specifically mentioned in the advertisement, or your discussions with them. Be specific about how you match the criteria and the relevance of your experience;

Do not use a general letter as it always looks like it. Your letter should be tailored to the position and the company;

Use language that sounds modern and professional;

Stick to 12 point font and a standard typeface that is easy to read;

Check your spelling and grammar. It’s always a good idea to ask someone else to proof read the letter for you;

Remember to attach a copy of your resume. A copy of your academic transcript and other documentation should only be submitted if specifically requested;

Respond within the time frame given or at least within a week;

Follow up to ensure your application has been received.

18


Sample Application Letter Your name Postal address Contact number Date Mr/Ms Name Title Company Address Dear Name or Sir/Madam, Re: Position Title and reference number (if applicable) Introduction This should outline why you are writing and the position you are applying for. If you have spoken to someone in the company about the position mention this. Body Use dot points to address the main points listed in the advertisement, or how you can add value to the company. You might mention that further information is available in your resume. Conclusion End with a positive close e.g. your availability for an interview to discuss your suitability for the position. Yours sincerely, Signature (Print your name)

19


Successful On-line Applications There are many advantages of using and/or sending your application on-line – the main ones being that you are targeting employers directly - you are being given hints of what they are after, the low cost involved and the speed at which you can apply to numerous positions. Over 70% of HR professionals are using the internet as a recruitment tool. Take your time - only fill in applications when you have time - don’t try and rush them - that’s when you will make mistakes and risk your chances.

Design your resume - already have your resume prepared and “copy” information from that. Sometimes you are asked to include your resume as well - ensure consistency between the 2 documents if this is the case. Be professional in language use - this is still a business interaction - don’t slip into e-mail lingo! And use correct “lettering”. Research the employer - use various methods to do your research and where applicable show this knowledge in your application.

Be sure to use similar language to the advert, in the form or from the companies website - many companies and recruitment agencies are using on-line application filters that look for key words and if they are not there you get a “thanks, but no thanks letter” before a “human” has even seen your application!

Formatting - you are limited in what you can use - make use of capitals, asterisks and dashes. Try and avoid columns and often dot points and shorter sentences are better than long paragraphs.

Check the document looks okay - if possible before hitting the send key send it to “friends” (or yourself) to ensure that the text transfers.

Save a copy for following up - remember which jobs you have applied for - either print of a copy or keep a job application log, to ensure you do not double up!

Read over before sending - just like with a hard copy read over before you send - if you can get a fresh set of eyes all the better!

Guidelines for the Interview 1.

Arrangements

Confirm the date, time and location of the interview; plan to get there early. Try and find out the name of the people you will meet and the expected length of the interview. 2.

Research the Organisation and the Industry

There are a number of sources of information available about companies and industries. Try their Internet site, annual reports and other library resources. Use the information you have gathered during the recruitment process. 3.

Be prepared to talk about yourself

Know what skills you have to offer an employer. Be ready to give examples of how you’ve demonstrated these skills, rather than a yes/no answer. Be able to identify what the situation was, what you did, what the outcome was. If you don’t have much professional work experience, think of examples from your major university projects or social activities. Take evidence of your work and education with you. Invest in a display book, don’t just have samples / documents loose or in an envelope- these documents are a reflection of you and are too precious to lose. You may wish to make copies of the more important ones to be left with the interviewer. 4.

Anticipate their questions

Have answers ready for common questions (refer below) and take out a book from the library of commonly asked interview questions. 5.

Appearance

Remember first impressions count, your attire for an interview should be professional, tidy and leaning towards conservative. Avoid extremes of fashion. Clean your shoes. Don’t go overboard with aftershave, perfume or makeup. 6.

Oral & interpersonal skills

It is very important to have a professional and friendly message on your telephone as this will be the first thing a prospective employer will hear if you are unable to answer their call. Also, ensure you have a professional email address as your email address also sends a message to the employer. 7.

Finally

Smile. Shake hands firmly. Be enthusiastic. Be polite to everyone you have contact with at the organisation. Be punctual. Do not smoke or accept refreshments even if offered, nothing is worse than trying to answer a question with your mouth full!! Thank the interviewer for their time. If you are interested in the position, restate your interest and ask about the next step. Make a follow up call if you have not heard from them in the timeframe discussed during the interview.

21


Common Interview Questions Q. A.

Tell me about yourself? Don’t give your entire life history. If they’re interested in specific personal information they will ask. Start with your degree; mention your work experience, or the key subjects that you’ve studied.

Q. A.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? Your answer should be appropriate to the position you are currently seeking e.g. moved into a team leadership role. If you have longer-term goals e.g. CEO of a company, or principal consultant, it doesn’t hurt to mention them.

Q. A.

What are your strengths? Identify at least 3. You should have some technical strengths as well as skills in generic areas like communication.

Q. A.

What are your weaknesses? Have some prepared (2 to 3). Make them work not personality related. Try and focus on those you’re doing something about, so your answer sounds more positive.

Q. A.

Why do you wish to work for our organisation? Or what interests you about our products/ services? This is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the company and the work it is doing.

Q. A.

In what technical areas do you consider yourself proficient? Know what you are good at. Is it design, data analysis, simulation, programming?

Q. A.

What sort of people do you like to work with? This is looking at your likely fit with existing team members. Focus on positive attributes such as positive, energetic, enthusiastic, committed or competent.

Q.

What sort of person do you like to be supervised by? Or what style of management gets the best from you? Focus on positive attributes such as competent, supportive, forward thinking. Do not mention, unless asked, attributes you don’t like.

A.

Q. A.

Tell me about a group project on which you’ve worked? How did you allocate responsibilities? This type of question is seeking details about your team skills and leadership ability. If you don’t have a lot of work experience use group projects from university.

Q. A.

How do you stay aware of developments in your field? Employers are looking for staff that are genuinely interested in their field and committed to ongoing professional development.

Q. A.

Tell me about a situation that didn’t turn out as expected? This type of question is designed to see what you’ve learned from the experience. Outline the situation, your response and why, in retrospect, you would do things differently.

Q. A.

Do you have any questions? Try and have one or two prepared, but not on something already covered. Try to avoid discussing salary on your first interview unless it is mentioned by the interviewer.

22


Referees There is much debate as to weather to include the names and contact details of referees in a resume or to state “available on request” - regardless on what you do the following are important considerations:

Who to choose - ideally past supervisors/managers, lecturers or tutors, persons worked with on community projects.

Who not to choose - family members, best friends, people you haven’t asked to be referees for you.

How many - will depend on the stage of your career - initially 3 should be fine. Then as you progress in your career you will build up a pool of 6 or so to use most appropriately.

Ask permission - you must ask someone if there are willing to provide you with a reference, just because you worked for them does not guarantee that they will do it - or that they are the best person to do it. If in doubt ask - most people will be honest with you.

Give your referee a copy of resume - it’s a good reminder for them.

Keep in touch - now that you have asked these people to be referees for you - keep in touch - let them know how your job hunt is going - what interviews you’ve been for - and when they may expect calls about you.

Thanking at end of process - goes without saying!

23


Employment following Graduation Many employers looking to recruit graduates will begin their recruitment process in the first term of each year. Start early and visit the Careers Centre at your University or TAFE, register on as many jobs databases as possible and check newspapers and the internet on a regular basis. Newspapers There are many resources available to you in gaining employment after you have graduated. Traditionally, employers advertise their job vacancies in leading newspapers. In Melbourne, The Age’s “My Career” guide in Saturday’s paper is an excellent starting point. Internet job search Increasingly many jobs are advertised online. The following websites have jobs listings that are updated daily and you can search by location and industry.

Engineering Disciplines One of the great attractions of engineering work for many people is the huge variety of tasks and environments open to engineers. Historically, mainstream engineering is divided into the four broad disciplines of chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. Within each discipline there are several branches of engineering covering an enormous range of fields. Today, we are seeing the emergence of new disciplines of engineering. Here is a description of some of the major fields of engineering. Aerospace Engineering Aerospace engineers design, construct and operate aircraft, aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. This includes planes, jets, helicopters, gliders, missiles and spacecraft. They are involved in researching, developing and testing new materials, engines, body shapes and structures that may increase the speed and strength of aircraft. They are also responsible for planning thorough maintenance programs for aircraft and exercising strict safety and environmental controls. Aerospace Engineers also use their knowledge of electrical, electronic and computer systems for automatic control and communication systems for the operation of aircraft. There are three main areas of work in the aerospace industry; design and manufacture, research and development and airworthiness operations. Aerospace Engineers may work for commercial airline companies, aerospace manufacturers, government defence departments and defence forces and in government research laboratories. Aeronautical engineering deals specifically with flight vehicles such as airplanes and helicopters. Work in this field is still available; however it is being overtaken by aerospace engineering. Agricultural Engineering Agricultural engineers are involved with conserving and developing the world's natural resources such as soil, water, land, rivers and forests. They research and develop solutions to combat problems such as soil erosion and salinity. They are responsible for designing better methods of farming and forestry, improved farming machinery and buildings and also in lessening the impact of humans on the environment. Many are employed by government departments in water supply, agriculture, forestry, soil conservation and in environment protection agencies. Private employers may include consulting firms, manufacturers and distributors of agricultural and irrigation equipment, corporate farms, intensive animal industries and food processing plants. Biomedical Engineering Biomedical engineers work with doctors and medical scientists, researching and designing ways to improve health care and medical services. They may be involved in the development of medical products and different types of equipment and in designing and improving equipment for disabled people. A biomedical engineer working in a hospital, for example, may be responsible for the safe and effective operation of equipment such as monitoring, diagnostic, and therapeutic medical equipment. They may also be involved in designing artificial joints and limbs and assisting the surgical team in fitting these to the patient. Biomedical engineers design and deliver technology to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. For example, they may develop equipment to assist people who may have difficulty walking, communicating or carrying out daily tasks. Building Services Building services engineers are involved with designing heating, air-conditioning, electric lighting and power, water and gas supply, plumbing and drainage systems. Fire safety and security systems, phones, faxes, intercoms, computers, lifts and escalators are all needed for a functional and safe work environment. Chemical Engineering Chemical engineering is concerned with the ways in which raw materials are changed into useful and commercial end products. Research of raw materials and their properties, design and development of equipment and the evaluation of operating processes are all part of chemical engineering. These skills are combined

244

Engineering Disciplines to extract raw materials which can then be refined and manufactured to produce food, petrol, plastics, paints, paper, ceramics, minerals and metals. Chemical engineers are also involved in the production of pharmaceutical products as diverse as penicillin and shampoo. Many chemical engineers also find employment in environment protection and the reclamation or clean up of contaminated sites, or in research laboratories, chemical plants and petroleum refineries. Other major employers of chemical engineers include manufacturers of basic iron and steel products, organic industrial chemicals and the mining industry. Extracting raw materials without harming the environment is a major area of work for chemical engineers. Biochemical Engineering - biochemical engineers study the chemical reactions and processes that occur naturally in living systems (plants and animals) so that these processes can be copied and used for human benefit. Food Engineering - food engineers design equipment, machinery and production methods that increase the life of food whilst maintaining its quality and nutritional value. They also ensure that the food produced is free from bacteria and disease and does not lose its original texture and colour. Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering - engineers in this field find, produce, use and improve oil and natural gas based on geological study. Raw materials extracted from the earth or oceans are turned into synthetic fibres, dyes, detergents and many forms of plastics materials and products. Pharmaceutical - equipment that produces life-saving drugs and medicine is designed and operated by pharmaceutical engineers. These drugs need to be made very precisely in both small and large quantities. Engineering teams work closely with medical research teams to achieve the most effective results. Process Control - is concerned with the creation and maintenance of computer software and systems designed to control the quantity and quality of a particular product when it is being manufactured. Production - production engineers are responsible for the equipment and processes used in chemical or manufacturing plants. Production engineers ensure equipment is maintained and operating at a peak level and may also be involved in advising on factory floor layout to maximise production levels. Civil Engineering Civil engineers are concerned with all types of structures including dams, bridges, pipelines, roads, towers and buildings. They are responsible for the design and construction of transport systems, the design and management of gas and water supply, sewerage systems, harbours, airports and railways. Civil engineers also plan, design and test the structures of private and public buildings and facilities. A civil engineer will work from an architect's drawings and consider whether the chosen materials for a particular building will be strong enough to hold a structure of that height or design. It is the responsibility of the civil engineer to produce safe, economical and environmentally sound structures. They are also involved in environmental areas such as the assessment of the impact large scale projects have on the environment and the collection and treatment of sewage and industrial wastes, pollution control, environmental control and resource protection and management. Geotechnical Engineering - these engineers provide information and knowledge on how the soil and rocks beneath a proposed structure will behave under pressure. An understanding of the structures being built is needed in order to assist in the design of their foundations. Geotechnical engineers spend a lot of time outdoors, collecting samples and testing ground areas and advising on work in progress. Hydraulics (Water) Engineering - is concerned with planning and organising how water is provided and removed both for large and local schemes. Hydraulics engineers also deal with the treatment of waste from industry, the control of rivers and flood waters, the protection of the coastline and careful planning of harbours. Structural Engineering - natural forces such as wind, waves and earthquakes and their effects all need to be taken into account when a structure is designed and built. Certain stresses caused by the modern environment, such as the traffic of both cars and people, also need to be considered. A structural engineer ensures that structures are built in such a way that they stand up to these forces. Innovative solutions to these problems are researched, developed and tested by structural engineers. Transport Engineering - is concerned with the transport means for both people and freight. Transport engineers design, test and improve systems and structures used to

245

Engineering Disciplines move people, cars, trains, airplanes and ships. Transport engineers also plan future travel needs of city and country areas as populations increase and needs change. Coastal and Ocean Engineering - coastal and ocean engineers work at the interface between the land and the sea and in the open ocean environment and are skilled in understanding this dynamic natural environment. This provides the specialised knowledge needed to ensure safe and ecologically sustainable development of near shore zones, vital ports and harbours and valuable offshore resources. Electrical Engineering Electrical engineering encompasses electronic, computer systems, telecommunications, control and electrical power engineering. Electrical engineers design and build the systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy essential to modern life. Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering - electronics engineering deals with devices and systems that use small amounts of electrical energy to analyse, transmit and store information. Transmission of these electronic signals forms the basis of communications and the information technology industry, and includes the field of microelectronics and the use of silicon chip technology. Electronics engineering is a very diverse field and it is currently undergoing expansion as new applications are found for electronic equipment. This has led to the development of two relatively new fields of engineering - software engineering and mechatronics. Software engineers - design and modify complex software systems and computer hardware. Mechatronics - combines the disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering. It is associated with the use of digital computers to control machines and processes. It is also used to create diverse products such as substitutes for human sensors and organs and computer controlled machine tools. Computer Systems Engineering - is based on electrical engineering and computer science. These days computers are used to operate many of the things we use in everyday life, for example cars, telephone systems, trains, TV and radio stations. Computer engineers are involved in the analysis, design, development and operation of computer hardware and software. Control Engineering - is involved with the use of electrical signals to move and operate equipment and machinery. Control engineers design, test and improve automatic control systems for large industries such as oil refineries, mining operations and production plants. The safe flow of road and air traffic is also the responsibility of the control engineer. Power Generation & Distribution Engineering - provides electricity to our homes and to industry. It is concerned with planning, developing, testing, installing, using and maintaining power plants or stations that provide electric power. It also deals with the transmission of that power to where it is needed. Power engineers also conduct research on developing alternative power sources such as solar and wind energy. Environmental Engineering Environmental Engineers are concerned with protecting the environment by assessing the impact a project has on the air, water, soil and noise levels in its vicinity. This is done by studying the project's design, construction and operation and minimising any adverse effects that it may have on the environment. Environmental engineers are also involved in removing problems caused by past activity, such as cleaning contaminated industrial land so it can be used for housing. Environmental engineers predict what problems may be caused by accidents, such as oil spills for example, and assess what may cause problems for the environment in the long term. They also plan and design equipment and processes for the treatment and safe disposal of waste material and direct the conservation and wise use of natural resources. They are involved in research and development of alternative energy sources, water reclamation, waste treatment and recycling. Industrial Engineering Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of human resources, materials, equipment and finance. It draws upon specialised knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, physiological and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems and measure achievement.

246

Engineering Disciplines Marine Engineering Marine engineers are involved in designing, testing, and improving machinery and equipment used at sea. This machinery may include propulsion machinery, electrical, refrigeration, air conditioning, cargo handling and domestic services equipment. It is their responsibility to check that it is all functioning effectively and being properly maintained. A marine engineer needs to have a good understanding of the way in which all these systems operate. Marine engineers may also work with organic pumping or mooring systems, pipelines, dockyards, port and harbour operations, equipment for offshore oil rigs and platforms. Materials Engineering Materials engineers test the ways certain materials behave when put under pressure or are heated or joined with other materials (metals, plastics, rubber, timber, ceramics). Materials engineers are involved with developing new materials and improving certain qualities of existing materials. They may also be involved with developing new and improved ways of recycling plastics and paper. Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Mechanical and manufacturing engineering turns energy into power and motion. Mechanical engineers design, create and improve systems and machinery that is used for domestic, public and industrial purposes. This area covers the design and manufacture of a great variety of products such as domestic appliances, industrial machinery, ships, aircraft, engines, pumps, compressors and turbines or complex systems such as the air-conditioning and ventilation systems of buildings. The mechanical area interlinks closely with other areas of engineering and applies knowledge of materials, energy and structures. Manufacturing systems engineering - is concerned with the processes and systems that are used in industry. Systems and equipment that complete tasks accurately and change raw materials into products with the smallest wastage of time, materials and energy are designed and improved by manufacturing systems engineers. Hydraulics - is involved with the design of new and improved ways of applying fluid control, so that machinery can operate smoothly and effectively with the least amount of pressure. For example, hydraulic oil pressure is used to move large cranes. Pneumatics - covers the use of air pressure to control machinery. For many industries, air is a much safer material to use because it is clean and can be used safely in flammable areas. It is practical to use pneumatics in food processing as it is much cleaner. It is also used for safety reasons in machines that process flammable substances such as petrol and paint. Thermodynamics - deals with heat energy transfer and machinery that turns heat energy into mechanical power. Engineers in this field design, manage and improve machinery such as boilers and gas and steam turbine generators, and facilities like cooling towers, and heating or refrigerant systems. Minerals and Metallurgical Engineering This form of engineering is concerned with turning raw material of low value into valuable products, for example bauxite into aluminum. Minerals Engineers use a wide range of treatments to process materials in the most efficient way. This might involve physical or chemical separations and hydro or pyro-metallurgical processes. Metallurgical Engineering takes this one step further by combining metals and non-metals to make new composite materials. These new composites are designed to be light, strong, durable and heat resistant materials for use in the design and performance of cars, boats, jets, spacecraft and other vehicles. Mining Engineering Mining engineers work together with geologists to investigate and carry out the extraction of ore bodies and mineral deposits, as well as the extraction of nonmetallic ores and fuels such as coal and uranium. They are responsible for planning the safest and most cost effective way of removing minerals from the ground, rivers or the sea bed. They may be involved with designing, installing and supervising the use of mining machinery and equipment and for inspecting the progress of mining operations. Computerised techniques are often used in the development and

247

Engineering Disciplines operation of mines. Mining engineers are responsible for protecting conditions for both people and the environment in the vicinity of mines. Mining engineers work on mining sites and in head offices of mining companies. Resource Engineering Resource engineering is concerned with the development and efficient use of natural resources and the management of the environment in rural areas. This includes the development, conservation and control of water resources, soil conservation and the recovery of degraded land, catchment and land management, and the assessment and control of water pollution from agricultural and mining industries. Risk Engineering There is a growing awareness in the general public of the need for risk assessments to be carried out before a project begins. This involves analyses based on knowledge of chemistry, physics and operational aspects of any given project. It is important to identify any potential hazards, the consequences of these hazards and the frequency and magnitude with which they are likely to occur. These hazards need to be managed and emergency response procedures identified. Risk consultants often carry out detailed risk assessment studies for private companies or review studies done by other parties.
