Some sub-disciplines include architectural engineers, earth science engineers, construction engineers
The image to the right is a roman aqueduct. Aqueducts were used to move clean water over longer distances
Environmental Engineer
Ensures the protection of the natural environment
Integrates science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment, to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to clean up pollution sites
Also a sub-discipline of civil engineering
Aerospace Engineer
Designs aircraft
Divided into two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautics
deals with aircraft that operate in Earth's
atmosphere, and astronautics
deals with spacecraft that operate outside the Earth's atmosphere.
Mining Engineer
Develops techniques for mining
More specifically, mining engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the practice, the theory, the science, the technology, and application of extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment.
Nuclear Engineer
Designs power plants and nuclear systems
Includes the interaction and maintenance of systems and components like nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants, and/or nuclear weapons
Also incorporates the study of medical applications
Chemical Engineer
Designs types of chemical processes to work in a wide variety of industries
Combines natural sciences and life sciences together with mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy
Marine Engineer
Engineering that deals with drilling, transportation across the ocean
Specifically, marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences, mostly mechanical and electrical engineering, to the development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and on-board systems
Electrical Engineer
Engineering dealing with designs of robots, MP3 players, electronics, and
communication systems
Field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism
The Woz – Inventor of Apple Computers was an electrical engineer
Mechanical Engineer
Engineering that deals with inventors of cutting edge innovations or devices
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering, physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems
SolidWorks is designed specifically for the mechanical engineering field
Computer Engineer
Engineering dealing with developing computer science and computer systems
Discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software
Structural Engineer
Engineering dealing with buildings, bridges, homes
Combines engineering principles and technology to building design and construction
Similar, yet not the same as an architect
Agricultural Engineer
Deals with advances to farming, as well as protecting the natural environment
Discipline that applies engineering science and technology to agricultural production and processing
Designs equipment, works on improving the processing of crops, as well as manages waste
