The engineering profession is widely dispersed, including:
Mechanical Engineering:
designing, building, and maintaining machinery, equipment, and component parts is all part of mechanical engineering. Control systems and performance monitoring tools are also used. This comprises automobiles, agriculture and construction equipment, industrial facilities, and an extensive range of instruments and gadgets.
Electrical Engineering:
design, testing, production, building, control, monitoring, and inspection of electrical and electronic gear, systems, and devices are all part of electrical engineering. The scale of these systems ranges from tiny circuits to large national power generation and transmission networks.
Large infrastructure projects including roads, railroads, bridges, tunnels, dams, and airports fall within the purview of civil engineering, which also handles their design, building, upkeep, and inspection.
Aerospace Engineering
includes the design, manufacture, and testing of spacecraft and airplanes as well as its parts and components, including power plants, airframes, electrical and electronic systems, communication and navigation systems, control and guidance systems, and so on.
The design, manufacture, building, testing, and operation of machinery, systems, and procedures pertaining to the creation, management, and detection of radioactive radiation are all included in nuclear engineering. Monitoring and shielding people from radiation's potentially dangerous effects are further aspects of nuclear engineering.
Biomedical Engineering
The practice of creating tools, systems, and apparatus for use in medical treatment is known as biomedical engineering. It also entails close collaboration with medical professionals, such as physicians, nurses, technicians, therapists, and researchers, to ascertain, comprehend, and satisfy their needs for devices, systems, and equipment.
Chemical Engineering
The practice of creating machinery, methods, and procedures for refining raw materials as well as for combining, compounding, and processing chemicals to create useful products is known as chemical engineering.
Computer Engineering
The practice of creating computer systems, networks, software, and hardware components is known as computer engineering.
Industrial Engineering
The practice of creating and optimizing systems, machinery, processes, and facilities for manufacturing, material processing, and a variety of other work settings is known as industrial engineering.
Environmental Engineering
The practice of environmental engineering involves identifying, minimizing, and getting rid of sources of pollution that have an impact on the land, water, and air. In addition, it entails identifying and quantifying pollution levels, tracing the origins of pollution, restoring and cleaning up contaminated areas, and making sure local, state, and federal laws are followed.
Comprehensive understanding of mathematics, physics, and computer applications, including computer-aided design and simulations, is essential for engineers. This is the reason that when students decide to specialize in a particular field, most undergraduate programs provide foundational engineering classes covering a broad range of topics. For this reason, only students who pass the mathematics, physics, and chemistry portions of the 12th grade board exam are eligible to pursue careers in engineering.
