What Do Engineers Do?

Engineers are:

Problem solvers. Engineers design bridges and batteries, jet engines and solar panels – whether it’s keeping the lights on, keeping us healthy, or keeping us connected, the work engineers do is essential.

Fueled by passion and purpose. Engineers use their skills to respond to the world’s most pressing challenges – from clean energy to quality healthcare and more sustainable flight. Engineers make what’s next for the world even better.

In demand. 54% of companies globally report talent shortages. Being an engineer provides a stable and well-paying career. Next Engineers is a gateway to accessing future opportunities.

Diverse. The world can’t work without engineers who reflect the diversity of that world.
