Flashcards: Engineering disciplines

Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas.

Agricultural engineering in forestry

Transportation engineering or transport engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible movement of people and goods (transport).

In chemical engineering and related fields, a unit operation is a basic step in a process.

Food engineering is a multidisciplinary field of applied physical sciences which combines science, microbiology, and engineering education for food and related industries.

Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown (fission) as well as the fusion of atomic nuclei and/or the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics.

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering analysis tasks.

Ecological engineering is an emerging study of integrating ecology and engineering, concerned with the design, monitoring, and construction of ecosystems.

Municipal or urban engineering applies the tools of science, art and engineering in an urban environment.

In railway terminology the term running gear refers to those components of a railway vehicle that run passively on the rails, unlike those of the driving gear.

Nanoengineering is the practice of engineering on the nanoscale.

Forensic software engineering refers to the discipline of analyzing (and sometimes reconstructing) the functionality of software applications or services that have become defunct; are no longer accompanied by, or previously lacked, documentation; or for which the original engineers are no longer available.

Army engineering maintenance consists of those engineers, technicians, and military organizations responsible for the expert repair and maintenance of army vehicles, weapon systems, and other equipment.

Methods engineering is a subspecialty of industrial engineering and manufacturing engineering concerned with human integration in industrial production processes.

Rehabilitation engineering is the systematic application of engineering sciences to design, develop, adapt, test, evaluate, apply, and distribute technological solutions to problems confronted by individuals with disabilities.

Architectural engineering, also known as building engineering, is the application of engineering principles and technology to building design and construction.

Process engineering focuses on the design, operation, control, and optimization of chemical, physical, and biological processes.

Production Engineering is a combination of manufacturing technology, engineering sciences with management science.

Cloud engineering is the application of engineering disciplines to cloud computing.

Railway engineering is a multi-faceted engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and operation of all types of railway systems.

Environmental engineering science (EES) is a multidisciplinary field of engineering science that combines the biological, chemical and physical sciences with the field of engineering.

The Environmental Engineering and Renewable Energies is the branch of engineering that operates in the areas of Environmental Engineering , Sanitary Engineering and Power Engineering.
