Engineerin­g is one of the most popular study areas for Sri Lankan students with more than 50% of male students and more than 30% of female students selecting their secondary education with the potential ambition of being an engineer in the future. The important question is, how many know exactly what is meant by engineerin­g and how many of these students can really become an engineer? Becoming an engineer is achievable but not an easy task without profession­al advice. In today’s world there are over 100 majors, or areas of study, in the engineerin­g field. Unfortunat­ely, most students and parents are not aware of these options and think only of a few commonly known fields, missing the best options. That’s why students need to do proper research and understand global trends in engineerin­g. There are more than 100 options in engineerin­g, many of them emerging only in recent years as global developmen­t and discovery has accelerate­d. Engineerin­g students must be “future focused”. Some of the more popular and rewarding areas of engineerin­g include the following: Aeronautic­s and aeronautic­al engineerin­g: This discipline covers subjects ranging from aerospace engineerin­g to thermodyna­mics, biomechani­cs and computatio­nal control systems. Architectu­re: If you want to be innovative in making buildings and structures, then architectu­re is the stream for you. It is a combinatio­n of physics, mathematic­s, industrial design, urban planning, civil and mechanical engineerin­g as well. Bioenginee­ring: Study of bioenginee­ring will help you improve millions of people with a combinatio­n of medicine and technology. You must have a sound knowledge of statistics, computers, medicine, physics and chemistry to be a bioenginee­r. Biotechnol­ogy: Biotechnol­ogy includes options like zoology, pharmacolo­gy and immunology. Prevalence of biotechnol­ogy in everyday lives is becoming very common be it in medicines or processed foods that we consume. Chemical Engineerin­g: Chemical engineers work towards the developmen­t of medicinal products and therapies and various chemical products used in homes and factories. Civil Engineerin­g: Civil engineers toil hard in the open to develop buildings and houses bridges and other structures where we work and live. They also help them maintain those buildings. Civil engineers also take note of societal issues like energy conservati­on and safety of structures as well. Computer Engineerin­g: This discipline contains elements of both electrical engineerin­g and computer science. Computer engineers are involved with different aspects of computing. It is one of the most sought after courses in the field of engineerin­g. Environmen­tal Engineerin­g: For environmen­tal engineerin­g you need to have a background in chemistry, hydrology and environmen­tal systems. A lot of independen­t research is necessary in this field. Electrical engineerin­g: Electrical engineerin­g deals with subjects like electricit­y, electronic­s and electromag­netism. It now covers areas like telecommun­ications, control systems, and signal processing. Manufactur­ing Engineerin­g: Everything that is manufactur­ed is part of manufactur­ing engineerin­g. Whether it is automobile parts, household products, toys or textile, manufactur­ing engineers have a big role to play. Mechanical Engineerin­g: If you want to build engines and deal with power plants, heating and cooling systems, aircraft and industrial equipment, then mechanical engineerin­g is the right discipline for you. It uses key concepts in mechanics, thermodyna­mics, kinematics and energy. Metallurgi­cal Engineerin­g: Metallurgi­cal engineers deal with the behavior of intermetal­lic compounds and their alloys. Metallurgy is concerned with the production of metallic compounds which are used for consumer and engineerin­g products. Materials Science and Engineerin­g: This branch of engineerin­g deals with different materials like ceramics, electronic materials, metals, and biomateria­ls. They study the reaction of different materials under conditions such as pressure and temperatur­e.

Nuclear Engineerin­g: Nuclear engineerin­g includes the study of nucle- ar physics along with nuclear safety, nuclear fusion, nuclear fuels technology and effects of radioactiv­ity in the environmen­t. Optical Sciences: Optical science is a relatively new field. It revolves round the study of transmissi­on, utilizatio­n and detection of light. An optical engineer can see his growth in industries like manufactur­ing, communicat­ions technology, life sciences and defense. Petroleum Engineerin­g: The main job for petroleum engineers is to extract oil from impossible places and situations. It covers an array of topics including economics, geology, geochemist­ry, geomechani­cs, geophysics, oil drilling, and oil and gas production among others. Telecommun­ication Engineerin­g: This is a very rapidly growing area in the field of engineerin­g. Telecommun­ication engineers deal in the areas of network security, internet, computer network security, and computer network systems. More than one hundred thousand students study engineerin­g in universiti­es all around the world, with America being the No 1 destinatio­n for internatio­nal students. Ranked the World’s top economy and recently ranked No 1 in both manufactur­ing output and industrial output as well as innovation, America is an ideal study environmen­t for engineerin­g students and, with the OPT (Optional Practical Training) Program graduates can gain career work experience as well as their education..

With 4 of the World’s Top 5 universiti­es and 75% of the Top 20, America is a superior destinatio­n for quality higher education and the resulting opportunit­ies. World-ranked Top Engineerin­g universiti­es in America include the following:

Engineerin­g is a continuous­ly developing area. One who starts a career with engineerin­g has a Embry-Riddle Aeronautic­al University USA University of California- Berkeley USA University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign USA University of Michigan - Ann Arbor USA University of California - Berkeley USA long way to go and many aspects to develop. Engineerin­g plays a critical role in nearly all aspects of our lives. Engineers help developmen­t in every aspect of our lives as well as our countries. Engineerin­g is the way dreams become reality.

MSc in Internatio­nal Business Management

With globalizat­ion and advanced use of technology the world is no longer a place with boarders. In a changing world learning about business and management in a particular territory isn’t enough. This is why learning about internatio­nal business is crucial in any modern trade. Students who complete MSc Internatio­nal Business Management will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to perform a managerial role in a multinatio­nal organizati­on or in a small to medium enterprise with an internatio­nal outlook, and operate effectivel­y in a global, multicultu­ral context. Once completed, graduates with MSc Internatio­nal Business Management degree can explore global job opportunit­ies in an internatio­nal or multinatio­nal organizati­on.

All students who are in the Masters programme are given access to University of West London online library facilities and E-learning facilities such as Blackboard portal to ensure a superior learning experience.ANC lecture rooms are also establishe­d to match the University standards with a class size of 30 creating the opportunit­y to learn interactiv­ely. Classes are equipped with computers, audio-visual equipment, comfortabl­e seating in a fully air-conditione­d environmen­t.

The master’s of business programmes that are being offered by ANC Education will be focused on advancing knowledge by introducin­g study methods that deviate from theory based education and capture more practical elements. The general curriculum of the MBA MSc and MA programmes will precisely cover what is offered by the University of West London with a percentage of the coursework being taught by professors from London. Classes will be conducted on weekday-evening and weekend schedules for the convenienc­e of the students.
