The mission of an engineer is to create technical devices that are becoming more and more complex every year and cover all areas of human activity. In Europe, the profession of an engineer is considered respected and in demand, and is well paid.
Engineering personnel are needed not only in production, but also in design and scientific activities. Therefore, the choice of a particular specialization does not limit the graduate's choice of profession.
One of the new but rapidly developing branches of engineering is knowledge engineering: an area related to the study and creation of artificial intelligence. Computer and software engineering is not inferior to it in the rapid development.

Applications of engineering talents:
- Architectural engineering
- Aerospace instrumentation
- Bioengineering
- Biomedical Instrumentation
