Civil engineers design, construct, project manage, and commission a wide range of facilities and infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, towers, dams, roads and railways, pipe networks, and treatment plants. These facilities provide people with a reliable, safe, sustainable, and modern environment to live in.
Electric power depends on civil engineers for the design and construction of dams, canals, and transmission towers. Many towns and cities are protected against flooding or the effects of fire and earthquakes by infrastructure designed and constructed by civil engineers.
Civil engineers have responsibility for managing people, equipment, resources, time, and money. Communication skills are vital, as all professional engineers need to effectively disseminate complex information to people of diverse backgrounds by providing detailed engineering reports, presentations, and taking part in public hearings and inquiries.
This is a broad field, and students may take courses to focus on a more specific area of civil engineering during their professional years of study to suit their interests.
Career Opportunities
There are excellent career opportunities for civil engineers, with a strong demand for graduates in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world in a diverse range of fields. Most new graduates are employed by consultants, contractors, or central, regional, and local government.
Many civil engineers become experts in a specialised area of civil engineering such as structural, water, geotechnical, transportation, fire, or environmental fields.
Computer Engineering
Computers are at the heart of innumerable modern products, most of which would not be identified as computers. Computer engineering involves the development, both electronics and software, of such ’embedded’ computers.

Many find employment with companies that create devices with embedded systems such as Tait Electronics, Allied Telesis, Fisher & Paykel, Dynamic Controls, and Trimble.
Chemical and Process Engineering
Chemical and process engineers transform raw materials into processed, marketable products by chemical, physical, or biological means. They take science experiments performed in the laboratory and operate them on a commercial scale, taking into account economics, safety, and sustainability. Others are involved in the research and development of new products and processes, such as those in nanotechnology, biotechnology, or advanced materials.
Take on challenges such as:
supplying clean, safe drinking water
creating sustainable energy opportunities
improving society’s health and well-being
providing a sustainable food supply.
Career Opportunities
Chemical and process engineers work in areas such as renewable energy, biofuels, environmental control, fermentation, waste treatment, food industry, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.

"The team at AECC Global is very helpful and courteous. Alson, the staff, that I dealt with, really put in his best effort to expedite all the process and provide me with so much information. Keep up the good work! May AECC be successful in the years ahead!
I strongly recommend AECC to those who wish to study abroad.
Thank you AECC."
"It really over my expectation, AECC Global is one of the most helpful agency. I very appreciated Jossitix for helped me on visa and verification of certificates. Jess is very patient, friendly, and most importantly professional. I would recommend to anyone that would like to study in Australia. AECC Global is the best choice."
"There’s definitely a good reason why AECC Global has so many 5 star reviews. I visited many different agencies such as Aug, overseas edu, jsa, idp and AECC is still the best.
If you’re considering overseas, I will definitely recommend you to AECC Global, look for Justin. He’s the senior consultant there and he’s really knowledgeable about all the overseas universities. From the consultations, you can really see how well versed he is with each university’s culture, course strengths, curriculum and most importantly which is best suited for you.
I’m extremely grateful that he was willing to accommodate to our consultation timings. I was working part time nearby but by the time I got off work, it was already near to AECC’s closing time, he still assured me that he would be free and was willing to continue the consultation to discuss all my options with me and my Mother, and he did so very patiently until it was almost 9pm. My Mother and I had two such consultations with him that lasted 2-3h, and it both ended quite late, and it just shows how detailed and meticulous he is for the consultations. He is extremely detailed, he even helped me research on the traveling times from each possible dorm to the university, and also advised me on the respective expenses needed for rent, food, etc.
AECC also has many of the respective university’s admissions book so that you can take your time in browsing, some agencies only have one copy so you may have to share with a lot of people, which can be very disruptive to the discussion.
Justin was really unbiased throughout the consultations, he will definitely weigh all your options with you carefully and recommend the best school for you. His replies on WhatsApp are always timely, and it definitely helps you to understand better and make a more informed decision. He even helps you arrange meetings with the university representatives!
