1.

 Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers are involved in the design, manufacture, inspection and

maintenance of machinery, equipment and components such as vehicles, engines,
aerospace products, weapon systems, robotics, turbines, construction and farm
machinery, as well as a wide range of tools and devices. This type of engineering is
also associated with the management of control systems and instruments for measuring
the performance and status of machinery.

2. Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers work on the design, testing, manufacture, construction, control,

monitoring and inspection of electrical and electronic devices, components, machines
and systems. These range in size from the smallest microchips to large transmission
and power generation systems. This includes everything from broadcast engineering to
electromagnetic devices, computer systems, telecommunications and more.

3. Civil Engineering

Civil engineers are involved in the design, construction, maintenance and inspection of
large civil infrastructure projects, including roads, railways, bridges, tunnels and dams.

Working on both public and private projects, civil engineers traditionally work in sub-
disciplines such as environmental engineering, structural engineering or surveying.

As mentioned above, civil engineering was originally created to differentiate it from

military engineering.

4. Aerospace Engineering

As a specialised branch of mechanical and electrical engineering, aerospace

engineering focuses on the design, manufacture and testing of aircraft and spacecraft,
including all parts and components. Covering everything from vehicle aerodynamics and
efficiencies to electrical control and navigation systems, much of the expertise is also
used for other vehicles, such as cars.

5. Nuclear Engineering

Nuclear engineers work on the design, manufacture, construction, operation, and

testing of the equipment, systems and processes for the production and control of
nuclear power. From nuclear power plant reactors to particle accelerators, nuclear
engineers also work on factors such as monitoring and the storage of nuclear waste in
order to protect people from potentially harmful situations.

6. Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineers are concerned with the design of systems, equipment and
devices for use in healthcare and medicine. By working with medical specialists such as
doctors, therapists and researchers, biomedical engineers are able to meet the
requirements of healthcare professionals.

7. Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers use physics, chemistry, biology and engineering principles for the
design of equipment, systems and processes for refining raw materials for mixing,
compounding and processing chemicals for a variety of products. Carrying out
processes on a commercial scale, chemical engineers are involved in processes
ranging from petroleum refining to fermentation and the production of biomolecules.

8. Computer Engineering

Computer engineers design computer hardware, systems, networks and software.

Computer engineering combines other disciplines, such as electrical engineering and
computer science, as well as software engineering and design.

9. Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineers design and optimise facilities, equipment and systems for
manufacturing, materials processing and other industrial applications.

10. Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineers are concerned with the prevention, removal and elimination of
sources of pollution that affect the environment. Measuring pollution levels, determining
sources of pollution and cleaning up polluted areas, these engineers need to work in
compliance with government regulations.
