Engineering Categories & Decsription
Here i am expalining about differnt Engineering Categories
Civil Engineering
Civil Engineers are
concerned with planning, investigation, survey, design, supervision, and all
work connected with construction . They specialize in structural engineering,
water management engineering, highway engineering, environmental engineering,
geotechnical engineering, or environmental engineering
Mechanical
Engineering
Mechanical Engineers design, operate and maintain machines,
components, machine tools, manufacturing systems and processes, components
of thermal power stations, solar energy,
air conditioning and refrigeration and industrial engineering. They are
involved in both the fundamental and applied aspects of these areas
Electrical
Engineering
Electrical Engineers are concerned with the generation,
distribution, use of electrical power, control and instrumentation. They work
with equipment that produces and distributes electricity such as generators,
transmission lines, transformers, lighting and wiring in buildings. They design
electric motors, machinery and ignition systems which are required by
automobiles, aircrafts and all kinds of motorized vehicles and equipments
Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace Engineers work in aeronautical and spacecraft
engineering. They design, analyze, construct, develop, test and manufacture
commercial and military aircrafts, missiles, and spacecrafts
Agricultural
Engineering
Agricultural Engineers design and develop farm implements
and machineries, and equipments used during production, processing,
transportation and storage of agricultural commodities. Field engineers deal
with irrigation, drainage and land resource planning and execution. Service engineers
are engaged in sale servicing, repairing and installation of farm machinery
Automobile
Engineering
Automobile Engineers are concerned with the design,
development, repair and manufacture of automobiles. They may also specialize in
automobile design
Biomedical
Engineering
Biomedical Engineers are scientists who using the principles
of engineering and life sciences conduct research on the biological aspects of
human and animal life. The products biomedical engineers have invented have
revolutionized the field of medicine. Some examples are the artificial heart
and other artificial organs, prosthetics (artificial limbs), use of lasers in
surgery, cryosurgery, ultrasonics and the use of computers in diagnosis
Ceramic Engineering
Ceramic Engineers deal with inorganic and non-metallic
materials used in industrial applications. They carry out research, design
machinery and processing methods and develop new ceramic materials and products
Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineers combine principles of chemistry and
engineering to solve problems in the production of chemicals. Chemical
engineers are concerned with designing, supervision, construction, installation
and operation of equipment, plants and works in which substances undergo
physical and chemical changes. The chemical technologists deal with the
development and operation of processes for production purposes
Computer Engineering
Computer Engineers design, manufacture, and maintain
computer hardware and computer based information and control systems
Environmental
Engineering
Environmental Engineers use knowledge from several
disciplines to protect the quality of the human environment - its air , water
and land. This field embraces a wide field, from the ocean depths where marine
resources must be preserved to the depletion of ozone layers in the upper
atmosphere which poses a threat to life on earth
Electronic
Engineering
Electronic Engineers are concerned with electronic
components, integrated circuits and microprocessors. They design , fabricate, test, maintain and
supervise the manufacture of electronic
equipments
Energy Engineering
Energy Engineers are concerned with the use , production,
distribution, conversion and conservation of energy
Industrial
Engineering
Industrial Engineers work in manufacturing or industrial
production. Choosing machinery and equipments, planning industrial layout,
organization of assembly line , quality control, distribution and inventory
control is devised by industrial engineers
Instrumentation (Production) Engineers design, construct and
maintain instruments and instrumentation units required for industrial
processes
Marine Engineering
Marine Engineers design, research, survey, install and
maintain marine vessels of all types and sizes. The job of running, maintenance
and repair of engine rooms of sailing vessels both merchant and navy is carried
out by marine engineers. Marine engineers also work as shore engineers to
install , maintain equipments used during loading and unloading of cargo and
other dock machinery
Metallurgical and
Materials Engineering
Metallurgical and Materials Engineers develop new types of
metal alloys. Metallurgical engineers work in chemical, physical or mechanical
metallurgy. Material engineers develop materials according to specifications
and test and evaluate them
Mining Engineering
Mining Engineers are involved with the location, extraction,
and preparation of minerals used in
manufacturing industries. They design underground and open pit mines, supervise
the construction of mine shafts and tunnels in underground operations and
devise methods for transporting minerals to processing plants. They work with
geologists, metallurgists, on reclamation projects as well as in projects
related to water and air pollution
Telecommunication
Engineering
Telecommunication Engineers deal with communication systems
e.g. cables, radio, satellite, communications, TV, Radar, navigational
communications equipments, all types of information and transmission networks
Microelectronics
engineering
Microelectronics engineers are involved in the design,
development, fabrication and testing of new electronic circuitry. Modern
electronic circuits are built on printed circuit or hybrid boards carrying the
latest in chip technology. Microelectronics engineers undertaking the logic
design, often work together with software engineers who write the software.
This process needs careful planning to decide which function will be achieved
through the hardware
Nuclear engineering
Nuclear engineers conduct research on nuclear energy and
radiation. They design , develop monitor, and operate nuclear power plants used
to generate electricity. They may work on nuclear fuel cycle,- production,
handling, and use of nuclear fuel and the safe disposal of waste produced by
nuclear energy- or on fusion energy. Nuclear engineers specialize in the development of nuclear
weapons or in industrial and medical uses of radioactive materials e.g.
equipment to help diagnose and treat medical problems
