Types of Engineering
Mechanical Engineering - involves design, manufacturing, inspection and maintenance of machinery, equipment, and components as well as control systems and instruments for monitoring their status and performance. This includes vehicles, construction and farm machinery, industrial installations, and a wide variety of tools and devices.
Electrical Engineering - involves design, testing, manufacturing, construction, control, monitoring, and inspection of electrical and electronic devices, machinery, and systems. These systems vary in scale from microscopic circuits to national power generation and transmission systems.
Civil Engineering - involves design, construction, maintenance, and inspection of large infrastructure projects such as highways, railroads, bridges, tunnels, dams, and airports.
Aerospace Engineering - involves design, manufacturing, and testing of aircraft and spacecraft as well as parts and components such as airframes, power plants, control and guidance systems, electrical and electronic systems, and communication and navigation systems.
Nuclear Engineering - involves design, manufacturing, construction, operation, and testing of equipment, systems and processes involving the production, control and detection of nuclear radiation. These systems include particle accelerators and nuclear reactors for electric power plants and ships, radioisotope production and research. Nuclear engineering also includes monitoring and protecting humans from the potentially harmful effects of radiation.
Structural Engineering - involves design, construction, and inspection of load-bearing structures such large commercial buildings, bridges, and industrial infrastructure.
Biomedical Engineering - is the practice of designing systems, equipment, and devices for use in the practice of medicine. It also involves working closely with medical practitioners, including doctors, nurses, technicians, therapists, and researchers, in order to determine, understand and meet their requirements for systems, equipment and devices.
Chemical Engineering - is the practice of designing equipment, systems, and processes for refining raw materials and for mixing, compounding, and processing chemicals to make valuable products.
Computer Engineering - is the practice of designing computer hardware components, computer systems, networks, and computer software.
Industrial Engineering - is the practice of designing and optimizing facilities, equipment, systems, and processes for manufacturing, material processing, and any number of other work environments.
Environmental Engineering - is the practice of preventing, reducing, and eliminating sources of pollution that affect air, water and land. It also involves detecting and measuring pollution levels, determining sources of pollution, cleaning up and rehabilitating polluted sites and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
