From ages ago, there have been many professions or services in existence for the system to work efficiently and effectively without hindrance. Professions like doctors, plumbers, electricians, laborers, shopkeepers, landlords, moneylenders, and one of the most important engineers.
While some people have interests in working or making things, which brings them to the engineering field. Whereas, some people become engineers or doctors under pressure from their parents.
A life without engineers would be devoid of roads to travel; mobile phones to communicate, water supply; electricity supply to our homes, etc. All the things including mobile phones, our houses, vehicles we travel in or roads we travel on; laptops we work on, or the television, etc., are invented or proposed by engineers. They update these innovations to reduce workloads and increase productivity.

Electrical Engineer
Civil Engineer
