A civil engineer is someone that has a passion for design, construction and maintenance of public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, buildings and other big structural projects. They manage a broader range of projects which consists of transportation infrastructure and water systems. They apply their in-depth knowledge to enhance societies infrastructures to meet their basic human needs. Civil engineers play a vital part in maintaining society and without them, the public will not have safe and decent infrastructures.

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges allow students to further their education without completing matric. These institutions provide training for a wide range of sectors from areas such as hospitality, travel and tourism, primary health, engineering, agriculture, transport and logistics and many more.

Electrical engineering in simple terms focuses mainly on electronic circuitry. Electrical engineering dates back to the 19th century and has since evolved into a number of specialised categories, which includes power generation and transmission systems, motors, transistors and control systems. Engineers work with both technology and electricity. They work on a wide range of components, devices and systems that vary from tiny microchips to huge machinery.
