UNIT 1
Introduction to Engineering
Objectives:
• Identify the main engineering disciplines;
• Name the different types of jobs engineers in the
different disciplines are expected to do;
• Identify jobs that are related to the engineering
disciplines in your country; and
• Identify the engineering career path that you are
going to pursue.
INTRODUCTION

developing soil,
water, land, rivers
and forests,
better methods of
farming and forestry,
improved farming
machinery and
buildings, and also in
lessening the impact
of humans on the
environment.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING


How raw materials are
changed into useful,
commercial end products.

which can be refined and
manufactured to produce
things as food, petrol,
plastics, paints, paper,
ceramics, minerals and
metals.
CIVIL ENGINEERING


physical infrastructure
dams, bridges, pipelines, roads,
towers and buildings, transport
systems, gas and water supply,
sewerage systems, harbours and
airports.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING



Electronic, computer systems,
telecommunications, control and
electrical power engineering.
How electrical energy is produced
and used in homes, community
and industry.
Design and build systems and
machines that generate, transmit,
measure, control and use electrical
energy essential to modern life.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING


protecting the environment by
assessing the impact a project
has on the air, water, soil and
noise levels in its vicinity.
study project's design,
construction and operation,
and minimising effects on the
environment.
INSDUSTRIAL COMPUTER
