The term Engineering is derived from the Latin ingenium, meaning “cleverness” and ingeniare, meaning “to contrive, devise”.
Engineering is the application of mathematics, empirical evidence and scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, tools,systems, components, materials, and processes.
Is the engineering degree is easy or difficult?
Its answer is very simple,its nothing but our mind set to take whether engineering is easy or not. Come Lets discuss about what are the popular engineering branches.
Engineering Branches
The list of famous five engineering groups are as follows:
Computer Science Engineering(CSE)
Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE)
Electrical and Electronics Engineering(EEE)
Civil Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Computer Science Engineering (CSE)
Computer Science engineering deals with design, implementation, and management of information system of both software & hardware processes. A computer scientist specializes in theory of computation and design of computational systems.
Computer engineering or Computer Science engineering integrates several disciplines such as Information Technology, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Software Design, etc. The engineers are mainly involved in the development of software and hardware systems of various aspects of computing. The engineers not only focus on how computers work but also integrate into larger scheme of things.
You can work in database management, IT, embedded systems, Telecommunication, computer hardware & software implementation & maintenance, multimedia, web designing, gaming, and almost all other industries in this sector.
It is worthwhile to note that the computer industry has witnessed such phenomenal growth in recent years that IT majors like Infosys & TCS have been the major recruiters across all other branches in engineering colleges of the country.
Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)
Electronics engineering, or electronic engineering, is an engineering discipline which utilizes non-linear and active electrical components (such as semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits) to design electronic circuits, devices,Microprocessors/Microcontrollers and systems including VHDL Modelling for Programmable logic devices and FPGAs. The discipline typically also designs passive electrical components, usually based on printed circuit boards.
The Electronics & Communication Engineering involves the transmission of information across channels such as a coax cable, optical fiber or free space. You can work on designing equipment such as routers, switches, multiplexers and electronic switching systems, copper telephone facilities and fiber optics.
Electronic communications engineering is the utilization of science and math applied to practical problems in the field of communications. Electronic communications engineers engage in research, design, development and testing of the electronic equipment used in various communications systems. It is due to electrical engineers that we enjoy such modern communication devices as cellular telephones, radios and television.
UG subject includes:
Electromagnetics
Network analysis
Electronic devices and circuits
Signals and systems
Control systems
Communications
Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE)
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.This field first became an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use.
Main Areas of Electrical and Electronic Engineering include:
Electronics
Software
Hardware
Signal Processing
Communications
Computer Engineering
Power Electronics
Power Systems Engineering (including renewable energy)
Nanotechnology
Biomedical Imaging
Embedded Systems
Control
EEE is a very important part of your everyday life. The study of EEE can involve large amounts of power (eg power and control engineering) and large devices (eg power stations and electric vehicles) or small amounts of power (eg computer, communications and information engineering) and small devices (eg MP3 players and cell phones) etc..
Civil Engineering
Among all the engineering degrees,this is the main and needful degree for construction.
Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment and can be dated to the first time someone placed a roof over his or her head or laid a tree trunk across a river to make it easier to get across.
It is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering,and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering.
Sub-disciplines are:
Control engineering
Materials science and engineering
Coastal engineering
Construction engineering
Geotechnical engineering
Earthquake engineering
Environmental engineering
Water resources engineering
Structural engineering
Surveying
Transportation engineering
Forensic engineering
Municipal or urban engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is also an important degree in working with mechanics.
Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines.
Subdisciplines include:
Mechanics
Mechatronics and robotics
Structural analysis
Thermodynamics and thermo-science
Design and drafting
Mechanical engineering programs typically take four to five years of study and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng. or B.E.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. or B.S.), Bachelor of Science Engineering (B.Sc.Eng.), Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.), Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (B.M.E.), or Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) degree, in or with emphasis in mechanical engineering.
These are the famous five engineering branches and their informations with pictures.
Many other interesting branches are also available,read that too.
