Engineering Bursaries
Engineering is all about solving real-world problems using science, math, and a structured design process. It’s like being a problem-solver, making things work better, faster, and smarter.
There are lots of different types of engineering, each focusing on different things like building stuff, making machines, improving technology, and finding better ways to use energy.
The word “engineering” comes from Latin words meaning “cleverness” and “to invent.” So, it’s basically about being smart and coming up with new ideas to make life easier.
Imagine you have a big puzzle. Engineering is figuring out how to put all the pieces together in the best way possible to solve the puzzle.
Think of engineering like a toolbox. Each type of engineering is like a different tool in the toolbox, designed for a specific job. Whether it’s designing buildings, creating new gadgets, or making systems more efficient, engineers use their tools to get the job done.
When you hear about engineers, you might think of people in hard hats building bridges or skyscrapers. But engineering goes way beyond construction. It’s about making everything around us work better, from the cars we drive to the phones we use every day.
Engineering isn’t just one thing—it’s a whole collection of different things all rolled into one. It’s like having a superpower that lets you solve all kinds of problems, big and small.
Every field of engineering has its own special focus. Some engineers work on making things stronger or more durable, while others focus on making things smaller or more efficient.
In South Africa, numerous companies and institutions offer Financial Aids and Bursaries to supports student pursue Engineering programs in Higher Education.
