Study Notes
Engineering Branches
- Engineering is the application of scientific principles to design, develop, and analyze technological solutions.
- Major branches include chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering.
- Numerous smaller, more specialized branches are derived from these main areas.
Chemical Engineering
- Applies physical and biological science to the process of converting raw materials into more valuable forms.
- Subdisciplines include biomolecular engineering (manufacturing biomolecules), materials engineering (properties of matter), molecular engineering (manufacturing molecules), and process engineering (designing, operating, and optimizing chemical processes).
Civil Engineering
- Focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of structures and environments.
- Subdisciplines include environmental engineering (improving and protecting the environment), geotechnical engineering (behavior of geological materials), structural engineering (design of load-bearing structures), and transportation engineering (safe and efficient movement of people and goods).
Electrical Engineering
- Studies and applies electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
- Subdisciplines include computer engineering (design and control of computing devices), electronic engineering (design of circuits using components), optical engineering (design of systems using light), and power engineering (generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity).
Mechanical Engineering
- Designs, analyzes, and utilizes heat and mechanical power for machinery and mechanical systems.
- Subdisciplines include aerospace engineering (design of aircraft and spacecraft), thermal engineering (heating and cooling systems), and manufacturing engineering (design and development of manufacturing processes).
Interdisciplinary and Specialized Fields
- Examples include agricultural engineering (application of engineering to agriculture), nanoengineering (manipulating matter at the nanoscale level), and nuclear engineering (applying nuclear processes in engineering).
- Specific fields often combine elements from multiple engineering disciplines.
