Types of engineering
aerospace engineering
Types of engineering - The aerospace engineers are concerned with the
design, analysis, construction, testing and operation of flight
vehicles, including aircraft, helicopters, rockets and spacecrafts. The
course is based on the fundamentals of fluid dynamics, materials
science, structural analysis, propulsion, aerospace design, automatic
control and guidance, and development of computer software.
agriculture engineering
With increase in growth and associated industrial potential, Indian
agriculture has now been accorded the status of an industry. The course
on Agricultural and Food Engineering aims at producing engineering
graduates to meet the requirement of technical manpower in development
of farm machines, land and water resources management, agricultural
production and manufacture of processed food. In order to meet the
present demand of agricultural and food industries, the course has been
suitably modified to include specialized training in design,
development, testing and selection of tractors and farm implements,
irrigation, drainage and watershed management using Remote Sensing and
GIS; information technology, processing of food, fodder and fibre,
utilization of biomass, byproducts and wastes in the production of
biochemicals, fuels, manure and non-conventional energy. The course
provides ample flexibility to the students for acquiring expertise in
any of the three major areas of specialization, namely, Farm Power and
Machinery, Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, and Food Process
Engineering.
biotechnology
The goal of this program is to prepare the students, both in theory and
practice, for leadership in the globally competitive fields of Life
Science, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology industry, academia and research.
The program has been developed to meet the increasing demand in these
fields of industry and researcth. Students of this program would find
unique opportunities of employment and research in the areas of
biomedical engineering, drug design, bioinformatics, biotechnology,
nano-biotechnology, genomics etc. The course is designed to introduce
biology as an experimental science, in contrast to its commonly
perceived notion as a descriptive subject. The students will also find
the application of a wide range of techniques in physical, chemical and
mathematical sciences for designing, executing and interpreting
experiments in biology.
chemical engineering
Chemical engineers work in diverse fields like petroleum refining,
fertilizer technology, processing of food and agricultural products,
synthetic food, petrochemicals, synthetic fibres, coal and mineral based
industries, and prevention and control of environmental pollution.
Chemical engineering is concerned with the development and improvement
of processes, design, construction, operation, management and safety of
the plants for these processes and research in these areas.
civil engineering
A civil engineer is concerned with planning, analysis, design,
construction and maintenance of a variety of facilities such as
buildings, highways and railways, airports, waterways and canals, dams
and power houses, water treatment and waste water disposal systems,
environmental quality control, docks and harbours, bridges and tunnels. A
civil engineer is also required to deal with critical problems of today
such as disaster mitigation and management, constructing offshore
structures for oil production,
chemical engineering
Some chemical engineers make designs and invent new processes. Some
construct instruments and facilities. Some plan and operate facilities.
Chemical engineers have helped develop atomic science, polymers, paper,
dyes, drugs, plastics, fertilizers, foods, petrochemicals... pretty much
everything. They devise ways to make products from raw materials and
ways to convert one material into another useful form. Chemical
engineers can make processes more cost effective or more environmentally
friendly or more efficient. As you can see, a chemical engineer can
find a niche in any scientific or engineering field.
mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineers design and develop everything you think of as a
machine - from supersonic fighter jets to bicycles to toasters. And they
influence the design of other products as well - shoes, light bulbs and
even doors. Many mechanical engineers specialize in areas such as
manufacturing, robotics, automotive/transportation and air conditioning.
Others cross over into other disciplines, working on everything from
artificial organs to the expanding field of nanotechnology. And some use
their mechanical engineering degree as preparation for the practice of
medicine and law. The mechanical engineer may design a component, a
machine, a system or a process. Mechanical engineers will analyze their
design using the principles of motion, energy, and force to insure the
product functions safely, efficiently, reliably, and can be manufactured
at a competitive cost.
electrical engineering
Electrical engineering is concerned with the basic forms of energy that
run our world. Whether it's gas, hydro, turbine, fuel cell, solar,
geothermal, or wind energy, electrical engineers deal with distributing
these energies from their sources to our homes, factories, offices,
hospitals, and schools. Electrical engineering also involves the
exciting field of electronics and information technology. Do you have a
cellular phone or a computer? Wireless communication and the Internet
are just a few areas electrical engineering has helped flourish, by
developing better phones, more powerful computers, and high-speed
modems. As we enter the 21st century, the technology that surrounds us
will continue to expand and electrical engineers are le way
electronics and communication engineering
Design, fabricate, maintain, supervise, and manufacture electronic
equipment used in the entertainment media, in hospitals, in the computer
industry, for communication and in defense. Electronics engineers work
with devices that use extremely small amounts of power. They work with
microprocessors, fibre optics, and in telecommunication, television, and
radio.
production engineering
These deals with integrated design and efficient planning of the entire
manufacturing system, which is becoming increasingly complex with the
emergence of sophisticated, production methods and control systems. Job
and Scope: Opportunities are available in public and private sector
manufacturing organizations engaged in implementation, development and
management of new production Process, information and control systems
and computer controlled inspection, assembly and handling. Biomedical
Engineering: Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of
engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines
the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and
biological sciences to help improve patient health care and the quality
of life of individuals.
materials engineering
New materials have been among the greatest achievements of every age and
they have been central to the growth, prosperity, security, and quality
of life of humans since the beginning of history. It is always new
materials that open the door to new technologies, whether they are in
civil, chemical, construction, nuclear, aeronautical, agricultural,
mechanical, biomedical or electrical engineering.
