 Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace engineering is the primary field of
engineering concerned with the development
of aircraft and spacecraft. It has two major and
overlapping branches: Aeronautical (air)
engineering and Astronautical (space)
Engineering.

 Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering is a discipline that
advances knowledge in engineering, biology
and medicine, and improves human health
through cross-disciplinary activities that
integrate the engineering sciences with the
biomedical sciences and clinical practice.

 Computer Science
Computer science applies the principles of
mathematics, engineering, and logic to a
plethora of functions, including algorithm
formulation, software and hardware
development, and artificial intelligence.

 Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a engineering discipline that
deals with the design, construction, and
maintenance of the physical and naturally built
environment, including works such as roads,
bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage
systems, pipelines, and railways.

20
 Computer Engineering
Computer engineering is the branch of
engineering that integrates electronic
engineering with computer sciences. They
figure out how to combine code and physical
hardware.

22
23
 Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is a professional
engineering discipline that generally deals with
the study and application of electricity,
electronics, and electromagnetism. Build
circuits and deal with power.

26
 Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering is the application of
engineering principles to improve and maintain
the environment for the protection of human
health and at-risk ecosystems.

 General Engineering
General Engineering can either be really broad
or really specific. When considering
engineering, general engineering can be a
great way to explore engineering in a very basic
sense. Later on in your degree progress you are
able to choose something really specific to
focus on.

32
 Industrial engineering
Industrial engineering is a branch of
engineering which deals with the optimization
of complex processes, systems, or
organizations by developing, improving and
implementing integrated systems of people,
money, knowledge, information and
equipment.

34
 Manufacturing Engineering
Manufacturing Engineering is a branch of
professional engineering concerned with the
understanding and application of Engineering
Procedures in Manufacturing Processes and
Production Methods.

35
Manufacturing Engineering

36
37
 Materials Engineering
Materials Engineering is the study of the
relationship between the atomic/molecular
structure of materials, the way we process
these materials to alter the structure, and the
way that the structure influences the properties
of the material.

 Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is the discipline that
applies engineering, physics, engineering
mathematics, and materials science principles
to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain
mechanical systems.

43
 Software Engineering
Software engineering is a detailed study of
engineering to the design, development and
maintenance of software. The main goal is the
creation, improvement, and maintenance of
software. They apply engineering principles
and systematic methods to develop programs
and operating data for computers.
