Engineering branches



Agricultural Engineering - The engineering principle applications in agricultural fields such as farm power and machinery, biological material process, bioenergy, farm structures as well as agricultural natural resources.
Biomedical Engineering - The application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field.
Chemical Engineering - The conversion of raw materials into usable commodities.
Ceramic Engineering - Theory and processing of raw oxide material, and advanced material that are polymorphic, polycrystalline, oxide, and non-oxide ceramics
Civil Engineering - The design and construction of public and private works, such as bridges and buildings. It has several sub-disciplines
Coastal engineering
Construction engineering
Environmental Engineering - Environmental Engineers are concerned with protecting the environment by assessing the impact a project has on the air, water, soil and noise levels in its vicinity.
Geotechnical engineering
Water resources engineering (hydraulic engineering and hydrology)
Materials engineering - an interdisciplinary field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering
Municipal engineering - civil engineering as it specifically concerns municipal issues such as water, wastewater, transportation networks, subdivisions, communications, hydrology, hydraulics, etc.
Structural engineering
Earthquake engineering, a subset of structural engineering
Surveying and geographic information system (GIS)
Textile engineering- The technology of producing fabric. It includes conversion of fibre to yarn and yarn to fabric, coloration and apparel manufacturing
Transportation engineering which is closely related to
Traffic engineering (transportation)
Wind engineering
Computer Engineering - The entire process of designing and coding computers and computer related devices.
Electrical Engineering - The design of electrical systems, such as transformers, as well as electronic goods.
Instrumentation engineering - The design of all electronic instruments.
Fire Protection Engineering - is the application of science and engineering principles to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire and smoke.
Genetic Engineering - The design and development process of integrating genes and DNA segments from one species with another species.
Industrial Engineering - The design and analysis of logistical and resource systems.
Manufacturing engineering - The ability to plan the practices of manufacturing, to research and develop the tool, processes, machines and equipment, and to integrate the facilities and systems for producing quality products with optimal expenditure.
Component Engineering - The process of assuring the availability of suitable components required to manufacture a product
Mechanical engineering - The design of physical or mechanical systems, such as engines, kinematic chains, and vibration isolation equipment.
Vehicle Engineering - The design of vehicles
Automotive Engineering - The design of automobiles
Aerospace Engineering - The design of aircraft, spacecraft and related topics.
Mechatronics Engineering - A hybrid of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, intended to examine the design of automation systems.
Military Engineering - Primarily concerned with warfare, military engineering encompasses mobility, counter-mobility, survivability, and general engineering tasks.
Mining Engineering - The exploration and extraction of raw materials from the earth, include ore reserves such as coal, metals, non-metals, aggregates, sand, and gravel. Proceeding extraction applying mineral processeng that includes ore size reduction, multiple classification, benefication, calcining, sintering, and other value adding processes
Naval Architecture - An engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and repair of marine vehicles.
Nuclear Engineering - Application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics.
Ocean Engineering - A wide engineering field dealing with the ocean applications, involving many engineering disciplines.
Software Engineering (similar to Computer Science) - The design and development of software for use in digital systems
Test Engineering - The application of one (or more) engineering branch or one (or more) pure scientific discipline for the sole purpose of validation and verification of design, development, production, and/or maintenance of object under test.
