Aviation

Aviation is the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry. Aircraft includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing types, morphable wings, wing-less lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as hot air balloons and airships. Aviation history began in the 18th century with the development of the hot air balloon, an apparatus capable of atmospheric displacement through buoyancy. Some of the most significant advancements in aviation technology came with the controlled gliding flying of Otto Lilienthal in 1896. The next large step in significance came with the construction of the first powered airplane by the Wright brothers in the early 1900s. Since that time, aviation has been technologically revolutionized by the introduction of the jet which permitted a major form of transport throughout the world. Civil Aviation is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-military aviation, both private and commercial. Most countries in the world are members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and work together to establish common standards and recommended practices for civil aviation through that agency. Civil aviation includes two major categories:
  • Scheduled Air Transport, including all passenger and cargo flights operating on regularly scheduled routes;
  • General Aviation (GA), including all other civil flights, private or commercial.
There are five major manufacturers of Civil Transport Aircraft:
  • Airbus, based in Europe;
  • Boeing, based in the United States;
  • Bombardier, based in Canada;
  • Embraer, based in Brazil;
  • United Aircraft Corporation, based in Russia.
General Aviation includes all non-scheduled civil flying, both private and commercial. It may include business flights, air charter, private aviation, flight training, ballooning, paragliding, parachuting, gliding, hang gliding, aerial photography, foot-launched powered hang gliders, air ambulance, crop dusting, charter flights, traffic reporting, police air patrols, and forest fire fighting. Each country regulates aviation differently, but general aviation usually falls under different regulations depending on whether it is private or commercial and on the type of equipment involved. Many small aircraft manufacturers serve the general aviation market, with a focus on private aviation and flight training. The most important recent developments for small aircraft (which form the bulk of the GA fleet) have been the introduction of advanced avionics (including GPS) that were formerly found only in large airliners, and the introduction of composite materials to make small aircraft lighter and faster. Ultralight and homebuilt aircraft have also become increasingly popular for recreational use since in most countries that allow private aviation, they are much less expensive and less heavily regulated than certified aircraft.

5 reasons why to choose Aviation as a career:

 
  • Travel Opportunities
Job in Aviation can suggest a wide range of career opportunities and overseas internships for graduates of such specialties. Whilst working for an airline can be very demanding, it’s hard to find a better industry for travel opportunities. Some of the jobs require extensive travel. Pilots and flight attendants for example could visit nearly ten cities on several different continents in one five-day shift.
  • Meeting New People
In such a dynamic, fast-paced industry, a job in the Aviation industry means that you’re part of a bigger picture, helping to keep things moving and keeping up with the speed at which things happen. Working for an airline or airport doesn’t seem to be a boring, stagnant job. It offers a variety of opportunities and communication abilities daily, not only with the people you’ll meet. This is another big reason why candidates are drawn to working for an airline or airport. It allows them to meet new people daily. Those that work in airports enjoy the chance to meet interesting people because the airport is the place through which came more than thousands of persons every day. Flight attendants also often state that they chose their job because of the variety of interesting people it enables them to meet.
  • The Opportunity to Develop your Career
As a business, it’s in the best interest of airlines and airports to continue and provide developing processes for their employees, so they ensure employees' training and career development. Along with annual reviews, some offer an annual financial incentive scheme to ensure recognition of employees' contributions.
  • Company Benefits
While airport jobs generally receive fewer travel opportunities, they are often considered well-paid jobs with excellent benefits. Working in airports gives young people a wide range of opportunities and possibilities for self-development and ensuring a successful career.
  • Lifestyle Benefits
Airlines and airports also recognize how important for them to make their employees enjoy life outside of work and to ensure their happiness and development at work. With so many benefits of working in the aviation industry, it’s not surprising that you may have decided aviation is the industry for you. Once you decide which position best matches your skills and knowledge, it’s time to try something new!

Oil & Gas

The petroleum industry, also known as the oil industry or the oil patch, includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing of petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, synthetic fragrances, and plastics.

International Relations

About the Course

  Are you interested in learning about different cultures and people around the world? Would you like to study, live, or work abroad someday? Do you wonder why some countries are wealthy, while others are poor and some places are war-torn while others are peaceful? Would you like to understand how different regional civilizations have evolved and how these characteristics continue to affect people today? If you answered yes to any of these questions, International Relations may be the major for you. The course of International Relations is a unique course of study because it combines classes from three different departments – economics, history, and political science to create a coherent curriculum that allows students to develop their understanding of both different areas of the world (“area studies”) and the nature of interactions between people, groups, nation-states, and international organizations (“globalization”). International relations students have many different strengths. Some have a flair for foreign languages, others are fascinated by particular regions of the world and still another set of students may have a long-standing interest in an aspect of global affairs. Some students are attracted to the major because it allows them to combine courses from multiple departments, allowing them to study world regions or phenomena (like conflict, revolution, economic development, or human rights) from different disciplinary perspectives. International Relations is the study of the relations of states with each other and with international organizations and certain subnational entities — for example, bureaucracies, political parties, and interest groups. Viewpoints from other academic disciplines are often taught, including political science, geography, history, economics, law, sociology, psychology, and philosophy.

Course Curriculum

  Our world could do with a little more love and care right now. From war to poverty, deforestation to epidemics, we are living in demanding times and facing detrimental challenges. The world needs individuals who have great ambition and want to make a positive impact. Studying international relations is a great way to gain a deeper understanding of global issues. It’s an intriguing and important subject that places great emphasis on economics, culture, education, and political science and examines the impact they have on society. You’ll also learn how and why nations, governments, and individuals respond accordingly to such issues. International Relations introduce you to the world of politics and the social-historical impact of global development. You will learn about the different political systems and governing policies around the world, understanding how they connect with a broad range of international issues, such as human rights, global poverty, climate change, global ethics, etc. During a Bachelor’s in International Relations, you can expect to take classes on Economics, Politics, Government, Explaining Society, Public Policy, Business Behaviors, Global Conflicts, Global Security, Environmental Sustainability, etc. You won’t study all these subjects, but most undergraduate programs combine them in various ways and have a different approach based on their curriculum and academic objectives. There are other titles used to refer to International Relations (IR), such as International Studies, Global Studies, International Affairs, or Global Affairs. Because International Relations is a relatively new discipline, the academic approach, curriculums, and courses can vary significantly from one university to another.

Why Study International Relations?

 

Address Contemporary Global Issues

We live in a world where the overall living standard is higher than it has ever been. Yet, humanity is facing numerous problems and challenges despite our constant technological advancement and discoveries. Think in terms of poverty, hunger, inequality, environmental concerns, human trafficking, human rights, and so on. Whether you will help to implement a new public policy or collaborate with other people to implement welfare projects and events, you will improve people’s lives, change their environment and reduce the suffering and injustice which are present in the world. It’s a massive task, extremely challenging and demanding; but at the end of most of your days, you’ll feel fulfilled and proud of your work.

Develop Key Transferable Skills

The skills you’ll develop while studying International Relations can be applied in many other areas and industries. Even if you have a change of heart and decide that you no longer want to work in the International Relations field, your abilities will help you succeed in any other career. Here are some of the most important skills you’ll develop and improve as an International Relations student:
  • Public speaking, verbal & written communication
  • Gather, organize, and analyze data to gain insights
  • Cooperate with people who have different personalities, jobs, and goals
  • Evaluate ideas, concepts, and proposals and offer constructive feedback
  • Find solutions considering different cultures, interests, and mentalities

International Economics

About the Course 

   Economics, at its very heart, is the study of people. It seeks to explain what drives human behavior, decisions, and reactions when faced with difficulties or successes. Economics is a discipline that combines politics, sociology, psychology, and history. When you study economics, you gain a toolkit of skills, approaches, and ways of thinking that you can apply to a wide range of problems. Economics is one of the central disciplines underpinning the study of business and management and public policy. An economics degree gives you a high level of mathematical and statistical skills and the ability to apply economic principles and models to problems in business, finance, and the public sector. More broadly, economic concepts can be applied to understand the logic of complicated data, to see how things relate to each other, and to see the broader context.

Some of the Specific Skills you Develop Include:

  • Communication – presenting ideas in a well-defined framework supported by evidence that uses complex data.
  • Numeracy – handling complex data and techniques of mathematical and statistical analysis.
  • Problem-solving.
  • Analytical skills.

Importance of Studying International Economics for Future Career 

  Some careers use specific knowledge of economics, for example, banks, insurance, accountancy firms, businesses, and in government. These jobs may involve identifying financial risks or making decisions about where a company or a government should invest its resources in the future, or even how to design a bidding platform for eBay. There are also roles for economists in think tanks and consultancies that advise governments and companies on public policy, such as how to deal with the Greek debt crisis. More broadly, an economics degree helps prepare you for careers that require numerical, analytical, and problem-solving skills – for example in business planning, marketing, research, and management. Economics helps you to think strategically and make decisions to optimize the outcome. Especially in demand are people who have studied Economics and Finance as they are particularly well-prepared for jobs in banking and the financial sector, such as in accountancy firms. The well-developed methodologies used in economics have helped the subject expand into providing tools for other disciplines, such as politics, law, health, education, management, and many others. Some worry that by using the approaches of economics, the assumption is being made that people are rational in the way they behave. To counter this, economists are bringing in insights from behavioral science, psychology, and neuroscience.

Economics - Definition, Explanation, Types.

  The definition of economics is the study of how goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. In short, economics is the study of supply and demand. It is the theory of how markets work and wealth is distributed including how scarce resources are allocated. Economics is not just how the stock market is doing. Rather, economics refers to how people, businesses, and countries choose to spend their money. This can be viewed in both a macroeconomics and microeconomics sense. The economic theory seeks to explain the production and consumption of goods. Economics is widely studied around the world as researchers seek to better understand the impact of certain policies on the economy. For example, this can include studying the effect of gas prices going up, the effect of people incurring larger debt, the effect of government healthcare programs, and more. One of the most famous economic theories is a Keynesian economic theory named after John Keynes who suggested that government monetary and fiscal policy could stimulate business and increase employment. Types of economics include
  • Macroeconomics refers to the study of the overall economy from a wide point of view, for example, how an industry is doing, a country’s gross domestic product output, gas prices, national debt, and more. Microeconomics refers to economics on a smaller scale, such as how a family decides to spend its money or how a business establishes prices.
  • Managerial economics seeks to help business managers make logical decisions. It is the allocation of scarce resources in ways that best help a business succeed, for example, what goods and services should be produced and at what cost, or what markets should a firm enter or exit.
  • International economics is the study of how goods and services move across borders such as how tariffs affect trade, how exchange rates influence the movement of goods, or how to trade quotas affect a market.
  • Monetary economics is the framework for studying how institutions affect employment, commodity prices, interest rates, wages, production, and more.
  • Behavioral economics is the study of how psychology affects economic decision-making. Economic theory states that humans will make rational decisions whereas behavioral economics seeks to understand why humans make decisions that are not economically rational.
  • Applied economics refers to applying economic theories to real-world scenarios to help predict outcomes.
 Why Study International Economics Taking a course in economics can help you understand a wide range of topics that drive economic policy and financial decision-making. Learn about the principles of economics including both macroeconomics and microeconomics. Study theories of economic growth, economic policy, economic development, socioeconomic policy, risk management, debt sustainability, pricing models, and more. There is no doubt that to be a great economist, one has to be able to master the methods used in the profession, and have good maths and statistical skills to do this. You also need to be interested in the world around you from history to politics, to international affairs and consumer behavior in your country and worldwide, as these all impact how individuals, companies, and government.

Economics

About the Course

  Economics, at its very heart, is the study of people. It seeks to explain what drives human behavior, decisions, and reactions when faced with difficulties or successes. Economics is a discipline that combines politics, sociology, psychology, and history.  When you study economics, you gain a toolkit of skills, approaches, and ways of thinking that you can apply to a wide range of problems. Economics is one of the central disciplines underpinning the study of business and management and public policy.

Skills you Acquire

  An economics degree gives you a high level of mathematical and statistical skills and the ability to apply economic principles and models to problems in business, finance, and the public sector. More broadly, economic concepts can be applied to understand the logic of complicated data, to see how things relate to each other, and to see the broader context. Some of the specific skills you develop include:
  • Communication – presenting ideas in a well-defined framework and supported by evidence that uses complex data.
  • Numeracy – handling complex data and techniques of mathematical and statistical analysis.
  • Problem-solving.
  • Analytical skills.

Importance of Studying International Economics for Future Career

  Some careers use specific knowledge of economics, for example, banks, insurance, accountancy firms, businesses, and in government. These jobs may involve identifying financial risks or making decisions about where a company or a government should invest its resources in the future, or even how to design a bidding platform for eBay. There are also roles for economists in think tanks and consultancies that advise governments and companies on public policy, such as how to deal with the Greek debt crisis. More broadly, an economics degree helps prepare you for careers that require numerical, analytical, and problem-solving skills – for example in business planning, marketing, research, and management. Economics helps you to think strategically and make decisions to optimize the outcome. Especially in demand are people who have studied Economics and Finance as they are particularly well-prepared for jobs in banking and the financial sector, such as in accountancy firms. The well-developed methodologies used in economics have helped the subject expand into providing tools for other disciplines, such as politics, law, health, education, management, and many others. Some worry that by using the approaches of economics, the assumption is being made that people are rational in the way they behave. To counter this, economists are bringing in insights from behavioral science, psychology, and neuroscience.

Economics - Definition, Explanation, Types

  The definition of economics is the study of how goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. In short, economics is the study of supply and demand. It is the theory of how markets work and wealth is distributed including how scarce resources are allocated. Economics is not just how the stock market is doing. Rather, economics refers to how people, businesses, and countries choose to spend their money. This can be viewed in both a macroeconomics and microeconomics sense. Macroeconomics refers to the study of the overall economy from a wide point of view, for example, how an industry is doing, a country’s gross domestic product output, gas prices, national debt, and more. Microeconomics refers to economics on a smaller scale, such as how a family decides to spend its money or how a business establishes prices. The economic theory seeks to explain the production and consumption of goods. Economics is widely studied around the world as researchers seek to better understand the impact of certain policies on the economy. For example, this can include studying the effect of gas prices going up, the effect of people incurring larger debt, the effect of government healthcare programs, and more. One of the most famous economic theories is a Keynesian economic theory named after John Keynes who suggested that government monetary and fiscal policy could stimulate business and increase employment. Types of Economics:
  • Managerial economics seeks to help business managers make logical decisions. It is the allocation of scarce resources in ways that best help a business succeed, for example, what goods and services should be produced and at what cost, or what markets should a firm enter or exit.
  • International Economics is the study of how goods and services move across borders such as how tariffs affect trade, how exchange rates influence the movement of goods, or how to trade quotas affect a market.
  • Monetary economics is the framework for studying how institutions affect employment, commodity prices, interest rates, wages, production, and more.
  •  Behavioral economics is the study of how psychology affects economic decision-making. Economic theory states that humans will make rational decisions whereas behavioral economics seeks to understand why humans make decisions that are not economically rational.
  • Applied economics refers to applying economic theories to real-world scenarios to help predict outcomes.

Why Study Economics

  Taking a course in economics can help you understand a wide range of topics that drive economic policy and financial decision-making. Learn about the principles of economics including both macroeconomics and microeconomics. Study theories of economic growth, economic policy, economic development, socioeconomic policy, risk management, debt sustainability, pricing models, and more. There is no doubt that to be a great economist, one has to be able to master the methods used in the profession, and have good maths and statistical skills to do this. You also need to be interested in the world around you from history to politics, to international affairs and consumer behavior in your country and worldwide, as these all impact on how individuals, companies, and governments behave and make decisions.

Computer Engineering

About the Course

  Computer engineering is a branch of engineering that integrates several fields of computer science and electronic engineering required to develop computer hardware and software. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering (or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual microcontrollers, microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work but also on how they integrate into the larger picture.  Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems. Computer engineers are also suited for robotics research, which relies heavily on using digital systems to control and monitor electrical systems like motors, communications, and sensors.

Course Curriculum

  In many institutions of higher learning, computer engineering students are allowed to choose areas of in-depth study in their junior and senior years because the full breadth of knowledge used in the design and application of computers is beyond the scope of an undergraduate degree. Other institutions may require engineering students to complete one or two years of general engineering before declaring computer engineering as their primary focus. Computer engineering is referred to as computer science and engineering at some universities. Most entry-level computer engineering jobs require at least a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering (or computer science and engineering). Typically, one must learn an array of mathematics such as calculus, algebra, trigonometry, and some computer science classes. Sometimes a degree in electronic engineering is accepted, due to the similarity of the two fields. Because hardware engineers commonly work with computer software systems, a strong background in computer programming is necessary. According to BLS, “a computer engineering major is similar to electrical engineering but with some computer science courses added to the curriculum”. Some large firms or specialized jobs require a master’s degree.

Why Study Computer Engineering

  It is also important for computer engineers to keep up with rapid advances in technology. Therefore, many continue learning throughout their careers. This can be helpful, especially when it comes to learning new skills or improving existing ones. For example, as the relative cost of fixing a bug increases the further along it is in the software development cycle, there can be greater cost savings attributed to developing and testing for quality code as soon as possible in the process, particularly before release. Computing and computer technology are part of just about everything touching our lives today, from the cars we drive to the movies we watch to the many ways we all interact with each other (not to mention with businesses and the government). Understanding the many facets of computing is a necessary skill for any educated person in the 21st century. Whether you want to create the next hot application or simply want to map your next big idea for the boss, studying computing will give you a competitive edge, the ability to solve complex problems, and a career that will never be obsolete. To keep your career on the cutting edge and marketable in any business environment, consider the following reasons why studying computer engineering is a sound investment:

Career Prospects

  This is the Digital Age and computer programs have infiltrated every aspect of our lives. Computer Engineers theorize, design, develop, and apply the software and hardware for the programs we use day in and day out. So, having computer engineers is pretty important. Computer engineers are the ones who have made our lives easy with everyday innovation. Such a creative field it is, studying computer engineering helps you widen your creative horizon and provide solutions to problems people haven’t thought about yet.

There are hundreds of areas in which a computer engineer can work, and every area makes a difference. Astoundingly, they are among the high-paying jobs in the world.

Excellent Job Satisfaction 

That’s right! Money isn’t the only bonus to getting a job in Computer Science or IT. This sector has one of the highest rates of job satisfaction around. A recent study in the UK found that job satisfaction in IT is double that of the national average for other work sectors. Two of the major reasons are the freedom of work they have and the flexibility of work they are provided with.

Opportunities for True Creativity and Innovation

Computer engineering is about much more than programming; it is about inventing and building solutions. A computer engineer is an artist whose canvas may be a smartphone or PC display and whose paints and brushes are programming languages and development environments. Can you now imagine a world without Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or Twitter? All of these were created by some college students, and you know who. With a major in computer engineering degree, only the sky is the limit.

Limitless Future Opportunities

Computer engineers will indeed transform what the Internet will be like in the next 20 years. Like the rest of the infrastructure, the Internet will eventually seem to disappear by becoming ubiquitous. Developing the Internet of Things (IoT) will require specialized skills and computing expertise. By 2030, so many everyday items, appliances, and vehicles will be online that their numbers will far exceed the Earth’s population. And of course, making these networks of devices sufficiently robust and resilient will be a challenge for current and future computer engineers. People’s dependency on computers and devices will increase so much that computer engineers will have so many things to do. So, if you are considering studying computer engineering, you are making the right decision. The future awaits innovative engineers like you who can transform the world and make things easier for people. There will be a time when everything will be digitized, and everything will be easily possible – and computer engineers like you will make that possible.

As a specialized subfield of computer science, a web development degree makes sense for students looking to pursue careers in web development, web design, or other closely related fields. Web development majors develop practical, relevant skills throughout their education. Graduates can hit the ground running when they start their first web development jobs.

What is Web Development

  Web developers produce sites and systems on the World Wide Web for organizations. The sites might be purely for information sites, but they are based on Web information systems that combine analysis, design and authoring with multimedia development and traditional computing skills, particularly programming and using databases. Web development involves: 
  • Creating dynamic content for a site
  • Programming its special features
  • Selecting and setting up the proper software
  • Assessing the organization’s hosting needs
  • Making sure the entire process runs smoothly
A Web developer, or Internet developer, is often responsible for site design, creation, and day-to-day operation. Again, the job title might differ from company to company. Many companies contract with consultants or freelancers rather than train staff to create an entire site. They might use an on-site staff to keep the site operating and to update it periodically. Other companies might hire a Web developer to create the site and maintain it once it is in operation. The responsibilities or required skills for a Web developer can be divided into three categories. Design skills involve content development, graphics and layout, and security. Technical skills are needed to write code, develop databases, and implement testing. Management skills are used to evaluate the hardware and software systems, train other designers and developers, coordinate with other company personnel, and provide customer service.

Why study Web Development

  Web development is the process of building a website, right from designing to implementing to maintaining it. Web development is now more cost-effective than ever and plays a vital role in developing interactive sites. In today's modern world, we visit websites and web applications daily. From shopping for products on the internet to looking for information about certain topics, everything is done on the World Wide Web. Websites have become an important part of the Internet industry. Almost every business relies on a personalized space on the Web to build an audience who are interested in their brand. Not just businesses, websites are also created for portfolios, charities, funding, blogs, events, and more.  Web development jobs are on the rise, and there’s no doubt about that. Web Development is amongst the best careers for those who want ample opportunities for growth, flexibility, and job security

Career Prospects

  Most larger firms prefer to hire job seekers with several years of experience in Web development. While in college, be sure to take advantage of internships or part-time jobs. Even volunteering for nonprofit firms or developing Web sites on your own can be added to your resume to demonstrate your capabilities to potential employers. After graduating, expect to move into a smaller company and perform a variety of Web development and design tasks rather than jumping straight into a big corporation.  Every Web site needs a developer to maintain or improve it. Therefore, opportunities are plentiful, although not all staffers will have the title of “Web developer.” People have applied different terms to the position and might even have mixed and matched some of the requirements. A person with a good grounding in the principles of Web development has the potential to succeed in a variety of areas:
  • Web Administrator;
  • Web Designer;
  • Webmaster;
  • Web Programmer;
  • Web Application Developer;
  • Web Interface Designer;

Civil Engineering

What is Civil Engineering 

  Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. It is considered the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. Civil engineering can take place in the public sector from municipal public works departments through to federal government agencies, and in the private sector from locally based firms to global Fortune 500 companies.

History of Civil Engineering 

  Throughout ancient and medieval history most architectural design and construction were carried out by artisans, such as stonemasons and carpenters, rising to the role of a professional builders. Knowledge was retained in guilds and seldom supplanted by advances. Structures, roads, and infrastructure that existed were repetitive, and increases in scale were incremental. One of the earliest examples of a scientific approach to physical and mathematical problems applicable to civil engineering is the work of Archimedes in the 3rd century BC, including Archimedes Principle, which underpins our understanding of buoyancy, and practical solutions such as Archimedes’ screw. Brahmaputra, an Indian mathematician, used arithmetic in the 7th century AD, based on Hindu-Arabic numerals, for excavation (volume) computations.

About the Course 

  Civil engineering is the application of physical and scientific principles for solving the problems of society, and its history is intricately linked to advances in the understanding of physics and mathematics throughout history. Because civil engineering is a broad profession, including several specialized sub-disciplines, its history is linked to knowledge of structures, materials science, geography, geology, soils, hydrology, environmental science, mechanics, project management, and other fields.

Courses of Civil Engineering

If you study civil engineering at the undergraduate level, you’ll learn to apply mathematics and scientific knowledge (particularly physics) to real-life situations and problems that arise from creating and maintaining structures, considering environmental, financial, legal, and ethical considerations. At its core, civil engineering is a combination of many scientific specialisms, including mechanics, hydraulics, geotechnics (using knowledge of the earth’s crust to solve construction problems), materials science, and statistical analysis. As such, the study of these foundational elements will feature heavily in the early years of civil engineering degrees. As well as the more scientific side, those who study civil engineering will get to develop their design skills, particularly computer-aided design. Project work is central to the subject, meaning that in the latter years of your degree, you will be able to complete your own design projects individually or within a team. Undergraduate civil engineering degrees will typically be three or four years in length and will feature a mixture of lectures and lab work. There will also be an emphasis on working within a team, as this is considered a key skill for anyone pursuing a civil engineering career. Those who study civil engineering may also have opportunities to participate in field trips and complete industry placements, either as a ‘year in industry’ or for shorter periods.

Duties of Civil Engineers

  Civil engineers typically do the following:
  • Analyze long-range plans, survey reports, maps, and other data to plan and design projects;
  • Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors during the planning and risk-analysis stages of a project;
  • Compile and submit permit applications to local, state, and federal agencies, verifying that projects comply with various regulations;
  • Oversee and analyze the results of soil testing to determine the adequacy and strength of foundations;
  • Analyze the results of tests on building materials, such as concrete, wood, asphalt, or steel, for use in particular projects;
  • Prepare cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project’s economic feasibility;
  • Use design software to plan and design transportation systems, hydraulic systems, and structures in line with industry and government standards;
  • Perform or oversee surveying operations to establish building locations, site layouts, reference points, grades, and elevations to guide construction;
  • Manage the repair, maintenance, and replacement of public and private infrastructure;
  • Civil engineers also must present their findings to the public on topics such as bid proposals, environmental impact statements, or property descriptions;
  • Many civil engineers hold supervisory or administrative positions ranging from supervisor of a construction site to city engineer, public works director, and city manager. As supervisors, they are tasked with ensuring that safe work practices are followed at construction sites.
Other civil engineers work in design, construction, research, and teaching. Civil engineers work with others on projects and may be assisted by civil engineering technicians.

Civil Engineers Specialization

  Civil engineers prepare permit documents for work on projects in renewable energy. They verify that the projects will comply with federal, state, and local requirements. These engineers conduct structural analyses for large-scale photovoltaic, or solar energy, projects. They also evaluate the ability of solar array support structures and buildings to tolerate stresses from wind, seismic activity, and other sources. For large-scale wind projects, civil engineers often prepare roadbeds to handle large trucks that haul in the turbines. Civil engineers work on complex projects, and they can achieve job satisfaction by seeing the project reach completion. They usually specialize in one of several areas.

Construction Engineers 

manage construction projects, ensuring that they are scheduled and built in accordance with plans and specifications. These engineers typically are responsible for the design and safety of temporary structures used during construction. They may also oversee budgetary, time-management, and communications aspects of a project.

Geotechnical Engineers 

work to make sure that foundations for built objects ranging from streets and buildings to runways and dams are solid. They focus on how structures built by civil engineers, such as buildings and tunnels, interact with the earth (including soil and rock). In addition, they design and plan for slopes, retaining walls, and tunnels.

Structural Engineers 

design and assess major projects, such as buildings, bridges, or dams, to ensure their strength and durability.

Transportation engineers

 plan, design, operate, and maintain everyday systems, such as streets and highways, but they also plan larger projects, such as airports, ship ports, mass transit systems, and harbors. The work of civil engineers is closely related to the work of environmental engineers.

Mechanical Engineering

What is Mechanical Engineering

  Technically, mechanical engineering is the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacturing to the marketplace for any object. Mechanical engineers analyze their work using the principles of motion, energy, and force—ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost. Mechanical engineers make a difference. That’s because mechanical engineering careers center on creating technologies to meet human needs. Virtually every product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer to help humankind. This includes solving today’s problems and creating future solutions in health care, energy, transportation, world hunger, space exploration, climate change, and more.

About the Course

  Being ingrained in many challenges and innovations across many fields means a mechanical engineering education is versatile. To meet this broad demand, mechanical engineers may design a component, a machine, a system, or a process. This ranges from the macro to the micro, from the largest systems like cars and satellites to the smallest components like sensors and switches. Anything that needs to be manufactured—indeed, anything with moving parts—needs the expertise of a mechanical engineer.  Skills you Acquire To be a successful mechanical engineer, some of the most important skills you can develop are:
  • Problem-solving: essential to solving all the complex puzzles that stand between you and the perfect mechanical product/device/system;
  • Creativity: the only way to come up with innovative solutions, see what others do not, and create something from nothing;
  • Communication: needed to work with your team, and even more important when explaining to clients and users how to use your product or solutions;
  • Teamwork: mechanical engineers often work in groups, which helps them brainstorm ideas, compare suggestions, and find the right answer to a given challenge or task;
  • Math skills: solving mechanical engineering problems most often requires the use of mathematical principles, like Calculus or Statistics.
Whoever you are and whatever you choose to do, your forming years are important. This applies to you too, aspiring mechanical engineer! The more cultures and people you get to know, the more you learn about different ways to find solutions to problems

Duties of  Mechanical Engineers

  Mechanical engineering combines creativity, knowledge, and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality.  This transformation happens at a personal scale, affecting human lives on a level we can reach out and touch like robotic prostheses. It happens on the local scale, affecting people in community-level spaces, like with agile interconnected microgrids. And it happens on bigger scales, like with advanced power systems, through engineering that operates nationwide or across the globe. Mechanical engineers have an enormous range of opportunities and their education mirrors this breadth of subjects. Students concentrate on one area while strengthening analytical and problem-solving skills applicable to any engineering situation. Technology itself has also shaped how mechanical engineers work and the suite of tools has grown quite powerful in recent decades. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is an umbrella term that covers everything from typical CAD techniques to computer-aided manufacturing to computer-aided engineering, involving finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). These tools and others have further broadened the horizons of mechanical engineering.

Career Prospects

  Society depends on mechanical engineering. The need for this expertise is great in so many fields, and as such, there is no real limit for the freshly minted mechanical engineer. Jobs are always in demand, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, biotechnology, and energy industries. Here are a handful of mechanical engineering fields. In statics, research focuses on how forces are transmitted to and throughout a structure. Once a system is in motion, mechanical engineers look at dynamics, or what velocities, accelerations, and resulting forces come into play. Kinematics then examines how a mechanism behaves as it moves through its range of motion. Materials science delves into determining the best materials for different applications. A part of that is materials strength—testing support loads, stiffness, brittleness, and other properties—which is essential for many construction, automobile, and medical materials. How energy gets converted into useful power is the heart of thermodynamics, as well as determining what energy is lost in the process. One specific kind of energy, heat transfer, is crucial in many applications and requires gathering and analyzing temperature data and distributions.  Fluid mechanics, which also has a variety of applications, look at many properties including pressure drops from fluid flow and aerodynamic drag forces. Manufacturing is an important step in mechanical engineering. Within the field, researchers investigate the best processes to make manufacturing more efficient. Laboratory methods focus on improving how to measure both thermal and mechanical engineering products and processes. Likewise, machine design develops equipment-scale processes while electrical engineering focuses on circuitry. All this equipment produces vibrations, another field of mechanical engineering, in which researchers study how to predict and control vibrations. Engineering economics makes mechanical designs relevant and usable in the real world by estimating manufacturing and life cycle costs of materials, designs, and other engineered products.

Future of Mechanical Engineering

Breakthroughs in materials and analytical tools have opened new frontiers for mechanical engineers. Nanotechnology, biotechnology, composites, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and acoustical engineering have all expanded the mechanical engineering toolbox. Nanotechnology allows for the engineering of materials on the smallest of scales. With the ability to design and manufacture down to the elemental level, the possibilities for objects grow immensely. Composites are another area where the manipulation of materials allows for new manufacturing opportunities. By combining materials with different characteristics in innovative ways, the best of each material can be employed and new solutions found. CFD gives mechanical engineers the opportunity to study complex fluid flows analyzed with algorithms. This allows for the modeling of situations that would previously have been impossible. Acoustical engineering examines vibration and sound, providing the opportunity to reduce noise in devices and increase efficiency in everything from biotechnology to architecture. Careers in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering range over a broad scope. Mechanical and manufacturing engineers research, design, build, test, maintain and improve all manner of things. These include power plants, renewable energy systems and electrical generators, robots, computer systems, and aircraft engines and cars.  In recent times, mechanical and manufacturing engineers have had to adapt to the changing needs of the technology era. Now they design bionic limbs and prosthetic joints, develop high-performance composite materials, and work on more flexible manufacturing processes. As technology demands it, these engineers respond with an ingenious invention or more efficient process.

Chemical Engineering

What is Chemical Engineering

  Chemical engineering is a multi-disciplinary branch of engineering that combines natural and experimental sciences (such as chemistry and physics), along with life sciences (such as biology, microbiology, and biochemistry) plus mathematics and economics to design, develop, produce, transform, transport, operate and manage the industrial processes that turn raw materials into valuable products. Many of the processes within chemical engineering involve chemical reactions, and the field takes cues from chemists who are looking for new ways to create products and investigate the mechanisms within chemical reactions. Chemical engineers then translate this chemical information to formulate designs. As such, there are two broad subgroups that better answer the question “What is chemical engineering?” – more precisely: Designing, manufacturing, and operating plants and machinery for carrying out large-scale industrial chemical, biological or related processes Developing new or adapted substances for a wide range of products Chemical engineers may be specialized in one or the other subgroup, but work from both sides will be required in order to create a final product. They will need to consider economic viability, management of resources, health and safety, sustainability, and environmental impact. Despite its youth, chemical engineering has changed a lot in recent years. It’s traditionally just been about fuel (oil and gas), but now it’s much, much more than that.

Rocket Sciences

What is Rocket Science

  The broad term rocket science usually denotes the complex set of principles that govern the engineering of a rocket, a device that fires internal fuel and uses the fuel's kinetic energy to propel itself, at least to me. Rocket science, therefore, covers a vast subset of fields. It’s not for nothing that aerospace engineers are often considered Jack of all trades. The first field is dynamics. Locally, moments of inertia, masses, torques, etc., are all important. This alone could cover half a team. There’s the astrodynamics section as well, covering trajectory and mission planning. Governing equations: Newtonian. Then there’s the whole set of the chemistry of electromagnetically that cover energy storage. Chemical balances, stoichiometry, etc are this part of rocket science. Following that is a set of thermodynamics or plasma dynamics, covering either chemical or electric propulsion. This is usually a job for another whole team. Next, the effects of the atmosphere on the rocket. Aerodynamics, space environment, and two other whole fields of physics and astronomy. After that, structures. A set of physics and chemistry, some solid-state physics. Another team. Systems, feedback… all of these add up to a monumental problem. It is indeed rocket science.

Rocket Scientists 

are aerospace engineers who specialize in the design and manufacture of spacecraft. They work with the principles of science and engineering to create vehicles that fly within or above the Earth’s atmosphere. The job of a rocket scientist requires proficiency in physics, chemistry, aerodynamics, propulsion, communications, and mathematics. A bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering or a related field is the minimum requirement for entry-level positions, while many candidates choose to pursue graduate degrees to enhance their career prospects.

Rocket Scientists' Duties

  Rocket scientists and aerospace engineers generally work on the design and testing of rocket-propelled vehicles, such as orbiting spacecraft or missiles. They could specialize in a particular area of aerospace engineering, such as space exploration vehicles or defense systems. They might also choose to focus on a particular component of spacecraft, such as acoustics, aerodynamics, propulsion, or guidance systems. Duties can include designing aerospace vehicles or systems, overseeing the manufacture and fabrication of projects, devising testing methods, or developing quality criteria for spacecraft systems, such as communications or fuel systems. Within their design processes, rocket scientists need to determine the most efficient and effective placement for instrumentation and controls to assure ease of use for manned vehicles or connectivity for unmanned spacecraft. Other tasks can include assessing the results of quality control inspections to ensure the aerospace system meets necessary specifications and developing reports or handbooks for operators who use the equipment or vehicles. How difficult is rocket science? Rockets are intuitively simple but frighteningly difficult to actually create at the performance extremes that we need to put them into space

Career Prospects

  After completing a degree, you can fulfill your dream of becoming a rocket scientist by directly applying for positions with organizations of your choice. You would have a higher chance of getting your dream job if you have a history of internships with the organization, although that’s not an essential criterion.

It gives you the chance to sharpen your mind, strengthen your understanding and deepen your experience across the full range of humanities and social sciences. You acquire both breadth of understanding and depth in the areas that interest you most.  Law should therefore appeal to those who want to develop both abstract thinking and practical problem-solving. It’s easy to see why you don’t have to become a lawyer just because you’ve done a law degree; many choose other paths. A law degree can give you the skills to be a successful lawyer but also a successful producer, politician, manager, journalist, diplomat, or police officer; a law degree equips you for almost any profession that requires intellectual strength combined with a practical approach to the world. 

Why Study Law

  • First, Ignorantia juris non excusat is Latin for “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. It is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because one was unaware of its content. This makes it necessary for every person in India and not just its citizens to try to know and understand the law of the land. Lawyers are professionals who happen to know more and specialize in the field of law;
  • Second, there is an old saying which goes like this, if you only have three friends, make sure that one of them is a Lawyer, the other a Doctor, and the last a Banker. Any normal person will require the services of these three professionals at some point in time even though we hope against it, and it is better to have someone who gives preference to your well-being rather than look at you as an ATM. Rather, why not be a lawyer yourself if you aren’t the other two;
  • Third, a degree in law can give one the skills to be a successful lawyer but also a successful producer, politician, manager, journalist, diplomat, or police officer; a law degree equips you for almost any profession that requires intellectual strength combined with a practical approach to the world;
  • Fourth, Law is a professional course and helps you develop certain skills. Critical analysis, drafting of documents, research, argument, presentation, and sharing of ideas;
  • Fifth, social engineering is based on the theory that laws are created to shape society and regulate people’s behavior. It is an attempt to control human conduct through rules. Therefore, studying law helps one understand how society functions.

Career Prospects 

  A career in law can be intellectually challenging, personally fulfilling, and financially rewarding. Law is a very wide field, it touches every part of our lives, and it is easy to find such as driving a car, getting into a fight, buying something from a shop, being employed, renting a house, etc. Law is a highly respected qualification and it promises great opportunities for your career. Law will always challenge you because of the intellectual and need of hard work that you need to put in. These challenges will help you to grow as a person and even make you better in your profession. Law is certainly a rewarding profession. For some, law study is to uphold justice, a noble call that is most commendable. Law is not only for lawyers as it impacts all aspects of society. Law graduates can choose from a number of professions.  Below are five reasons to choose a career in the legal profession.

Diverse Legal Career Options

The complexities of our legal system have created hundreds of legal career options that serve a variety of core and non-core legal functions.

  Here are some of the skills that journalists need to succeed at their job:
  • Communication - the primary role of a journalist is to communicate news, either written or verbally. No matter how proficient you're in other skills, you cannot be a journalist without good communication skills. You're required to interview sources, report news, and write articles or scripts. Be sure to work on your communication skills by being friendly, empathetic, and confident as you present the news or information. 
  • Attention to detail - journalists are required to report news that's genuine and true. There are many sources of information, of which some are not credible. As a journalist, you need to pay attention to detail to know if the news you're about to present to the public is accurate. Be sure to do extensive research on a topic to give all facts available. 
  • Persistence - as a journalist, it's not always that your sources will be willing to talk or give you the information you need. It's crucial that you remain determined and keep persisting in the story. Successful journalists are those who report unique and exclusive news. You cannot get that kind of news by giving up when things get difficult.
  • Research skills - are very important in the career of a journalist. You need to capture all details and use different sources to get information. In addition, you must have the ability to know how to evaluate all your data and research before presenting it to the public. So, be sure to work on your research skills and find ways to analyze and represent data.
  • Digital literacy - currently, digital literacy is a must-have skill for most careers. As a journalist, you must know how to use things like websites, apps, social media, laptops, and tablets, since they are the new broadcast mediums. To have a rewarding career, you must be willing to adapt and accept change, such as the use of digital platforms. This is because using digital media to broadcast news is one of the best ways to reach a large group of people.
  • Logical reasoning and objectivity - when reporting news, you cannot afford to be biased. Otherwise, you'll only report information that's appealing to you or a particular group of people. You have to be objective and reason logically before presenting any news. Keep in mind that different kinds of people have access to this news. Be sure to present and write content that's respectful and unbiased.

Social Sciences

What is Social Science

  Social science is the branch of science devoted to the study of societies and the relationships among individuals within those societies. The term was formerly used to refer to the field of sociology, the original “science of society”, established in the century. In addition to sociology, it now encompasses a wide array of academic disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, economics, human geography, linguistics, management science, media studies, political science, psychology, and history. Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural sciences as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter modern sense. Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader sense. In modern academic practice, researchers are often eclectic, using multiple methodologies (for instance, by combining both quantitative and qualitative research). The term “social research” has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share the same aims and methods. The social science disciplines are branches of knowledge taught and researched at the college or university level. Social science disciplines are defined and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned social science societies and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong. Social science fields of study usually have several sub-disciplines or branches, and the distinguishing lines between these are often both arbitrary and ambiguous.

About the Course

  Do you enjoy a variety of fields of study? Are you interested in receiving a classic liberal arts degree, or do you not want to focus on only one area during your time in college? Or would you simply like to become a well-rounded person? Then the Social Science major is for you. In the Social Science program, you are offered the chance to explore the human condition and how we relate to one another and our world in a variety of contexts. You will spend time studying Communication, Criminal Justice, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. And if one of them becomes a favorite, then that area can become the specialty of your Social Science major. Degrees in social work, politics, criminology, sociology, anthropology, statistics, finance, economics, law, and psychology. The social sciences cover a lot of ground. The appeal is broad because the many subjects that come under the social sciences umbrella provide fascinating insights into everyday life in our communities, families, and workplaces. All social science courses help students develop a wide range of transferable skills and open up many career options.

Branches

  Social science includes such branches as

Anthropology

Anthropology is the holistic “science of man”, a science of the totality of human existence. The discipline deals with the integration of different aspects of the social sciences, humanities, and human biology. In the twentieth century, academic disciplines have often been institutionally divided into three broad domains. The natural sciences seek to derive general laws through reproducible and verifiable experiments. The humanities generally study local traditions, through their history, literature, music, and arts, with an emphasis on understanding particular individuals, events, or eras. The social sciences have generally attempted to develop scientific methods to understand social phenomena in a generalizable way, though usually with methods distinct from those of the natural sciences.

Communication Studies

Communication studies deal with processes of human communication, commonly defined as the sharing of symbols to create meaning. The discipline encompasses a range of topics, from face-to-face conversation to mass media outlets such as television broadcasting. Communication studies also examine how messages are interpreted through the political, cultural, economic, and social dimensions of their contexts. Communication is institutionalized under many different names at different universities, including “communication”, “communication studies”, “speech communication”, “rhetorical studies”, “communication science”, “media studies”, “communication arts”, “mass communication”, “media ecology”, and “communication and media science”.

Economics

Economics is a social science that seeks to analyze and describe the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth. An economist is a person using economic concepts and data in the course of employment, or someone who has earned a degree in the subject. The classic brief definition of economics, set out by Lionel Robbins in 1932, is “the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses”. Without scarcity and alternative uses, there is no economic problem. Briefer yet is “the study of how people seek to satisfy needs and wants” and “the study of the financial aspects of human behavior”.

Education

encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, positive judgment, and well-developed wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental rights the imparting of culture from generation to generation (see socialization). It is an application of pedagogy, a body of theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning, and draws on many disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, sociology, and anthropology.

Geography

As a discipline can be split broadly into two main subfields: human geography and physical geography. The former focuses largely on the built environment and how space is created, viewed, and managed by humans as well as the influence humans have on the space they occupy. This may involve cultural geography, transportation, health, military operations, and cities. The latter examines the natural environment and how the climate, vegetation and life, soil, oceans, water, and landforms are produced and interact. Physical geography examines phenomena related to the measurement of the earth. As a result of the two subfields using different approaches a third field has emerged, which is environmental geography. Environmental geography combines physical and human geography and looks at the interactions between the environment and humans. Other branches of geography include social geography, regional geography, and geomatics.

History

History is the continuous, systematic narrative and research into past human events as interpreted through historiographical paradigms or theories.

Law

The social science of law, jurisprudence, in common parlance, means a rule that (unlike a rule of ethics) is capable of enforcement through institutions. However, many laws are based on norms accepted by a community and thus have an ethical foundation. The study of law crosses the boundaries between the social sciences and humanities, depending on one’s view of research into its objectives and effects. 

Linguistics

Investigates the cognitive and social aspects of human language. The field is divided into areas that focus on aspects of the linguistic signal, such as syntax (the study of the rules that govern the structure of sentences), semantics (the study of meaning), morphology (the study of the structure of words), phonetics (the study of speech sounds) and phonology (the study of the abstract sound system of a particular language); however, work in areas like evolutionary linguistics (the study of the origins and evolution of language) and psycholinguistics (the study of psychological factors in human language) cut across these divisions.

Political Science

Political science is an academic and research discipline that deals with the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behavior. Fields and subfields of political science include political economy, political theory and philosophy, civics, and comparative politics, theory of direct democracy, apolitical governance, participatory direct democracy, national systems, cross-national political analysis, political development, international relations, foreign policy, international law, politics, public administration, administrative behavior, public law, judicial behavior, and public policy. Political science also studies power in international relations and the theory of great powers and superpowers.

Psychology

Psychology is an academic and applied field involving the study of behavior and mental processes. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including problems in individuals’ daily lives and the treatment of mental illness.

Sociology

Sociology is the systematic study of society, individuals’ relationship to their societies, the consequences of differences, and other aspects of human social action. Social Science subjects are wonderfully varied, offering a wide range of career progression routes following graduation. The scope is broad, but these subjects are united by one thing – a focus on understanding the workings of human society. Here are some of the reasons why so many students from around the world are attracted to social science degrees.

Career Prospects

  The successful completion of a degree in any social sciences subject demonstrates research skills, analytical ability, a flexible and adaptable approach to learning, critical evaluation, the ability to work to deadlines, creativity, logical thinking, team-working, self-organization, and communication skills – all skills that will serve graduates no matter where they want to take their careers. 

Jobs that make a difference

Graduate with a social science degree and you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to help to shape the future. Social sciences subjects naturally lead to progression into the kinds of careers that make a very real difference to society. Environmental planning, health, education, politics, law, and international relations – these are just a handful of the many social science areas that help you to improve the lives of children and adults in societies around the world. Whatever sphere of social science you specialize in, the world needs your expertise.

Curiosity

Human beings are fascinated by other human beings. What makes us tick? What makes a successful society? Why do so many of us watch Big Brother, read newspaper gossip columns, and check Twitter feeds? Just one of the reasons why social science degrees are so popular is that we’re keen to study ourselves. As humans, we are, innately, problem solvers. Looking inward, be it at ourselves through psychology, or at our society as a whole, through sociology, for example, we like to question, analyze, and look for answers. Social sciences subjects allow us to do just that.

Tourism

What is Tourism Industry

  The tourism industry, also known as the travel industry, is linked to the idea of people traveling to other locations, either domestically or internationally, for leisure, social, or business purposes. It is closely connected to the hotel industry, the hospitality industry, and the transport industry, and much of it is based around keeping tourists happy, occupied, and equipped with the things they need during their time away from home. Tourism and leisure include all the economic and social activities associated with traveling experiences, recreation, and the enjoyment of free time. Professionals in the field have the responsibility to maximize their clients’ leisure experience, either through direct contact or by efficiently managing the logistics and personnel involved in the leisure resorts or activities. They work in tourism and the travel industry, in organizing various events or in sports and health centers.

About the Course

  Tourism and leisure professionals have a good understanding of sales principles, excellent communication skills, and usually speak more than one foreign language. Most are also trained in events, hospitality, sports management, and even in business administration. Combining the art of relaxation with the competencies needed to manage the tourist industry, tourism is a popular applied science profession. Typically, academic degrees in tourism, hospitality, and leisure offer in-depth management understanding, implementation strategies, and even different languages. Examples of study programs include international tourism management and consultancy, attractions and theme parks management, and leisure and event planning.

Duties of Tourism Manager

Linguistics

What is Linguistics 

  Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves analyzing the many aspects that make up human language by looking at its form, structure, and context. Linguistics also looks at the interplay between sound and meaning, and how language varies between people and situations. Linguistics is concerned with the nature of language and communication. It deals both with the study of particular languages, and the search for general properties common to all languages or large groups of languages. It includes the following subareas:
  • phonetics (the study of the production, acoustics, and hearing of speech sounds);
  • phonology (the patterning of sounds);
  • morphology (the structure of words);
  • syntax (the structure of sentences);
  • semantics (meaning);
  • pragmatics (language in context).
It also includes explorations into the nature of language variation (i. e., dialects), language change over time, how language is processed and stored in the brain, and how it is acquired by young children.

Why Study Linguistics

  Linguistics is the scientific study of language. At the heart of linguistics is an understanding of 
  • The unconscious knowledge that humans have about language;
  • How humans acquire language;
  • The general and specific structures of language;
  • How languages vary;
  • How language influences the way in which humans interact with each other and think about the world;
  • Linguists investigate how people acquire knowledge about language, how this knowledge interacts with other thought processes, how it varies between speakers and geographic regions, and how to model this knowledge computationally;
  • They study how to represent the structure of various aspects of language (such as sounds or meaning), how to theoretically explain different linguistic patterns, and how different components of language interact with each other;
  • Many linguists employ statistical analysis, mathematics, and logical formalism to account for the patterns they observe.

About the Course

  Linguistics degrees cover a multitude of topics relating to the analysis of language and the way it is structured. They can also cover the way that language changes over time, how it varies between different groups of people and situations, and how people learn or acquire language.

Course Curriculum

The first year of your course will focus on an introduction to linguistics, including grammar, meaning (semantics), syntax (sentence formation), sounds (phonology), and words (morphology). The course content for the second and third years of study will vary widely between universities but can cover anything from typology, experimental phonetics, language acquisition, child bilingualism, modern foreign languages, the study of regional speech, and the history of language and neurolinguistics, among many others. Linguistics courses may also incorporate aspects of psychology, sociology, anthropology, communications studies, and science.

Career Prospects

  Linguistics is a growing and exciting field, with an increasingly important impact on other fields as diverse as psychology, philosophy, education, language teaching, sociology, anthropology, computer, science, and artificial intelligence. The skills acquired during a linguistics degree can be adapted to most industries. Direct career paths that can be followed are lexicographer, speech and language therapist, languages teacher, copy editor, proofreader, or a role in communications. Other career paths may include but are not limited to, civil service, marketing, journalism, law, and IT. Further study can also be undertaken to help prepare for more specialized roles or to enhance linguistics knowledge.  The variety is one of the things that makes linguistics fascinating: one day you might be poring over a medieval text for evidence of how the grammar of a language has changed, and the next, learning about how the larynx creates sound energy for speech, or how we can record brain responses in a categorization task. A degree in Linguistics can open the door to many careers owing to the emphasis on critical thought, analysis, and communication skills. Some jobs that more specifically use linguistics skills are the following:
  • Work in tech;
  • Work in education;
  • Teach at the university level;
  • Work as a translator or interpreter;
  • Teach English as a Second Language (ESL);
  • Teach a language other than English;
  • Work on language documentation or conduct fieldwork;
  • Work in the publishing industry (e.g. as an editor, technical writer or journalist);
  • Work for a testing agency;
  • Work with dictionaries (lexicography);
  • Become a consultant on language in professions such as Law or Medicine;
  • Work for an advertising company;
  • Work for the government;
  • Become an actor or train actors.
