Engineering is the field dedicated to using scientific
and mathematical knowledge to research and find answers
to technical problems. Engineering means to find economical
solution for technological problems. Engineer's work is
the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications.
Engineers design products, machinery to build those products,
plants in which those products are made, and the systems
that ensure the quality of the products and the efficiency
of the workforce and manufacturing process. Engineers design,
plan, and supervise the construction of buildings, highways,
and transit systems. They develop and implement improved
ways to extract, process, and use raw materials, such as
petroleum and natural gas.
Engineering offers tremendous scope for employment depending
upon the area of specialization. There are numerous opportunities
for engineers in the private sector, public sector, Defense
services, in Civil Aviation Industry, Merchant Navy and
computer software industry, etc. Engineers with Post Graduate
degree get senior position in private and government department
or as a planner or advisor on basic infrastructure development
of the industry. An engineer with entrepreneurship abilities
can also set up his/her own enterprise. Professionals in
this field are in great demand today and the demand keeps
on burgeoning day by day. |

| There are more than
25 major specialties in Engineering which are recognized and the major
branches have numerous subdivisions. Engineers in each branch have a
base of knowledge and training that can be applied in many fields.
Electronics engineers, for example, work in the medical, computer,
communications, and missile guidance fields. Because there are many
separate problems to solve in a large engineering project, engineers in
one field often work closely with specialists in other scientific,
engineering, and business occupations. |
|
| On the broad the Engineering can be categorized as follows: |
| Mechanical Engineering : Mechanical
Engineering major deals with the design, manufacturing and maintenance
of mechanical systems. Few examples of mechanical systems are machines,
automobile, aeroplane, elevators, earth movers and combustion engines. |
|
| Electrical & Electronics Engineering :
Electrical and Electronics major deals with electronics and electrical
equipments, such as GPS systems, robotic instruments and power
generators. |
|
| Computers & Communications Engineering :
Computers & Communications Engineering major deals with the
computers & information systems. Hardware, Software and
Communications are the major areas of study under this major. Example
for the application of computer, is the use of computers in Banking
system, use of websites to broadcast the information. |
|
| Civil Engineering : Civil Engineering
Major focus on the construction and operation of building structures,
roads, bridges, dams,etc. Study of Environment, behavior of earth
materials, analysis and design of load bearing structures, use of
satellites to gather information about the earth comes under this major.
|
|
| Chemical Engineering : Chemical
Engineering majors deals with the study of chemical process, and
machineries that enable chemical reactions needed to make products or
test theories. This major also involves the combined study of physics,
chemistry, bio-chemistry and mathematics. |
|
| Bio-Technology : Bio-Technology major
deals with the study of genetic systems,food processing, equipments used
in the medicine field & manufacturing of the drugs as well. This
majors deals with the study of any technological application that uses
biological systems or living organisms to make or modify products or
processes for specific use. The major application of biotechnology is
in the field of agriculture, genetics, food production and medicine. |
