2. What is
engineering?
According to Webster’s
Dictionary:
Engineering
The application of
math and science by
which the properties
of matter and the
sources of energy in
nature are made
useful
to people.
Engineers apply math and science for the
betterment of society through:
Above all, engineers are problem solvers who make
things work better, more efficiently, quicker and
cheaper.

8. Computer Engineering
Focuses primarily on computer
hardware, not software
Work w/ electrical engineers to
develop faster ways to transfer
information, and to run the
computer
Responsible for the “architecture”
of the computer system

9. Concerned with finding ways to produce food more
efficiently
Agricultural engineering focuses on:
 Soil and water
 Structures and environment
 Electrical power and processing
 Food engineering
 Power and machinery

 They design, and build prototypes of such
revolutionary products as… Artificial organs, artificial
limbs, medical imaging devices, medical diagnosis
machines, and patient monitoring devices…
 Three basic categories: Bioengineering, Medical, and
Clinical
 Bioengineering is application of engineering principles
to biological systems
 Medical engineers develop instrumentation for
medical uses
 Clinical engineers develop systems that help serve
the needs of hospitals and clinics

12. Aerospace Engineering
• Previously known as aeronautical
and astronautical engineering
• Aeronautical engineers do all the
research, design, manufacturing
building and maintenance of
aircraft - both civil and military.
• They also have taken on the
design and building of rockets
and missiles for space
exploration and military
applications...
Concerned with engineering applications in the areas of
aeronautics (the science of air flight) and astronautics (the
science of space flight)

world
PE’s design and operate
the machinery used to
refine crude oil into its
many forms

14. This is considered a branch of mechanical
engineering concerned with the design, development
and maintenance of cars, car engines and industrial
assembly lines.
Automotive engineering combines a number of disciplines
and those working within the industry generally need to
have a broad engineering grounding.
