ENGINEERING MEANS…

• Engineering is the discipline, art, skill and

profession of acquiring and applying scientific,
mathematical, economic, social, and practical
knowledge, in order to design and build
structures, machines, devices, systems,
materials and processes that safely realize
improvements to the lives of people.
ENGINEERING BRANCHES…
• Engineering, much like other science, is a broad discipline
which is often broken down into several sub-disciplines.
These disciplines concern themselves with differing areas
of engineering work. A few Engineering branches are as
follows:
• CIVIL ENGINEERING
• INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
• ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
• ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
• ELECTRONICS & TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
• MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
CIVIL ENGINEERING…

• Civil engineering is a professional engineering

discipline that deals with the design,
construction, and maintenance of the physical
and naturally built environment, including
works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and
buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest
engineering discipline after military
engineering.
DAMS
BRIDGES
TUNNELS
FLY-OVERS
STRUCTURE MIRACLES
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY…

IT is the area of managing technology and spans

wide variety of areas that include but are not
limited to things such as processes, computer
software, information systems, computer
hardware, programming languages, and data
constructs. In short, anything that renders data,
information or perceived knowledge in any visual
format whatsoever, via any multimedia
distribution mechanism, is considered part of the
IT domain.
