Engineers are people who are great thinkers, inventors, builders, scientists and designers. They are the people who improve the standard of living by making it safer and easier. They work from Nano scale to entire designing, building and providing solutions. Engineers are those who are well aware of all the fields from Scientific method, Chemistry, Physics and mathematics to social, culture, economics awareness to biology and teamwork or creativity, they are expert in all to provide best resources and solution to the world.
Among international students Engineering is one of the most popular field because of its wide career opportunity in mining and technology sectors. Times Higher Education World University ranking in 2018 has declared 35 top universities of Australia for its best education quality and research impacts. Australia has some of the top universities and institutes offering different courses in the field of Engineering with industry focused practical learning.
Below mentioned fields of Engineering provides the best education and career opportunities for Engineers in Australia.
Civil Engineering:
Civil engineering is one of the widest fields of engineering which has many aspects like architecture and designing, it provides many option for people who are willing to start their career in civil engineering to explore their creative skill and be innovative with their ideas. Australia is the best place to study civil engineering for people with interest in creativity and innovation.
Civil Engineering mostly splits into two main roles Contractive civil engineers and a Consulting Civil engineer, it totally depend on the interest you have developed while studying Civil engineering. Where both have different roles to play, if you go for civil engineering consultancy, you will be designing the projects, associating with architects and professionals. On the other hand Civil engineering in Contracting is all about turning the plans of consultant civil engineer into reality, Executing the design and dealing with practical work including meeting deadlines. The job of contracting civil Engineer also includes the issue resolving that arise during work. These are high in demand occupation for civil engineers in Australia and have great career scope.
Mechanical Engineering:
Mechanical engineers demand depend on the progress in Construction and manufacturing industries. As per the Engineers Australia, It has observed that many grads cross over to building services and industrial engineering. But it has always been in top of the engineering field having great number of graduates and career opportunities.
Mechanical engineers can have multiple option to work in different sectors like power generation, manufacturing, chemical processing and machinery, they basically work in mechanical products and processes to design, create and also develop the solutions required to improve the system and Machinery, which is used in industrial and domestic purpose.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering:
Electrical and electronic engineering both are similar fields and are high in demand in Australia. They are also one of the best option to study in Australia because the universities in Australia has one of the best faculty, when it comes to engineering.
Electrical engineering provides you skills that can serve inside and outside both sectors of engineering, it can have diverse span of work from construction to media and communication, to safety and healthcare. This is one of those field that provides the multiple options and do not restrict the graduates, as chances of other degree holders getting into this field is very high.
On the other hand Electronic engineering provides you with skill in communication and information technology, it also include the silicon chip technology and microelectronics. People of this field mostly work in broadcasting, robotics/medical engineering and communication industries. Electronic engineers are highly in demand in government and private sectors for designing, testing and installing electronic devices.
Mining engineering:
This Field of Engineering is high in demand in Australia, as Australia is famous for its mining industry and has huge market of it. Many universities and institutes in Australia is offering different courses in Mining and similar fields, this is why it is also one of the best option for student to study abroad.
Mining Engineers usually work with geologists to extract and investigate the minerals and other substances from mines also other non-metallic ores like uranium and coal etc. Their work involves the planning and execution of extracting minerals from rivers, grounds and sea with the most cost effective and safest way. They are also responsible of designing, installing mining machinery and its usage to make work more effective and progressive.
Mining engineers have wide range of career opportunities in Australia, they usually work on mining sites or sometime company’s mining head office. As mines are mostly in remote area, that requires engineer to be prepared to live in non-urban areas and because of that, it is one of the highest paid profession than many other profession in the field of engineering. Mine engineers with handful experience can pursue career in many other sectors such as Mines inspectors, investment analysts and advisers, mine planning and designing etc.
