Engineering is a broad term that covers a wide range of applications and industries. Combining
mathematics, science and technology, engineers produce creative solutions to real world
problems. As a result there are many di erent types of engineering degrees available.
In the past, engineering could be divided into four major branches: Mechanical, Chemical, Civil and
Electrical, with sub branches of each discipline. Today however, the number of engineering
degrees available have increased dramatically. There are now six major branches of engineering:
Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Management, and Geotechnical, and literally hundreds of
di erent subcategories of engineering under each branch.
Take a look over the list below - all types of engineering degrees are provided in summary with a
link to a full article with more detail on each where available. You can also nd links to universities
o ering that speci c degree, or use the below search to nd available engineering degrees. You
can use the main navigation to nd speci cs on the di erent types of engineering degrees,
including the emerging online engineering degree. For general engineering articles including
information on the highest paying degrees, those with the best employment potential, and steps
to become an engineer, be sure to check the blog.

Engineering Physics
An engineering physics degree combines engineering with physics and allows students to
study the areas where these two areas intersect. It is also a precursor to graduate studies in
either physics or engineering. Most graduates will work in research or another eld of
engineering such as mechanical engineering or nuclear engineering. The demand for this
type of graduate is particularly high.
The list above represents the many di erent types of Engineering Degrees available. Some
degrees will overlap to some extent while some degrees are very specialized, and as a result, so is
the education. If you have a suggestion for this list, please contact us and we will review the
engineering program.
