Civil Engineer
- Designs roads, sewage systems, tunnels, highways
- 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
