William’s Answer

Dear Ailinne,
Many engineering disciplines can enable you work in industry. The common ones include mechanical, industrial, electrical, production, biomedical, electronics & software engineering. Work for engineers in industry often includes process/production, maintenance and research & development. Increasingly, engineers are being trained to assume HR responsibilities as line managers in the areas of recruitment, performance management, industrial relations and learning & development.
To be able to earn a qualification in engineering, one needs to be proficient in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer applications, design & graphics etc.
Course content for engineering students include, amongst others, mechanics, thermodynamics, mechanics of fluids, materials science, engineering metallurgy, engineering mathematics, electronics, electromagnetism, management science, maintenance engineering etc.
Critical skills that engineers need to succeed at the workplace are problem solving, analytical, communication & planning skills.
Modern maintenance management requires good understanding of such approaches as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) & Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). They are essential for operational excellence. TPM is the bedrock for World Class Manufacturing Best Practices. RCM drives maintenance excellence.
Other skills required at the workplace are ability to work in teams & develop others.
