- New Zealand needs more professional engineers working in the economy. Currently, fewer than 1,000 professional engineers graduate each year. Countries with similar populations to New Zealand have more than double that number of engineering graduates.
- As a trained engineer, the student will be in demand and essential for New Zealand’s growth in technology-related enterprises. Their close links with the New Zealand industry ensure there will be work-ready and able to apply their engineering skills and scientific knowledge to solve real-world, industrial, and societal problems.
