Aeronautical It is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of
aircraft and spacecraft. Aeronautical engineering was the original term for the
field. As flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space
Chemical It is an engineering that applies physical sciences (physics and chemistry), life
sciences ( microbiology and biochemistry), together with applied mathematics
and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals,
materials and energy.
Civil 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
Computer It is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and
computer science required to develop computer hardware and software .
Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering

9. ENGINEER Definitions/ Concepts
Electrical It is one of the newer branches of engineering, and dates back to the late
19th century. It is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology
of electricity. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components,
devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators
Electronic discipline which utilizes non-linear and active electrical components to
design electronics circuits, devices, microprocessors, microcontrollers and
other systems.. The discipline typically also designs passive electrical
components, usually based on printed circuit boards.
Mechanical the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics and
material science for the design, analysis and manufacturing and maintance
of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the
design, production, and operation of machinery

Chemical Periodic Table. The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements,
ordered by their atomic number(number of protons), electron configurations, and
recurring chemical properties. They are divide by metals, metalloids and nonmetals
Civil The first self-proclaimed civil engineer was John Smeaton, who constructed the Eddy
stone Lighthouse. In 1771 Smeaton and some of his colleagues formed the Smeatonian
Society of Civil Engineers, a group of leaders of the profession who met informally over
dinner. Though there was evidence of some technical meetings, it was little more than a
social society.

Electrical Electronics, digital computers, power, telecommunications, control systems, radio-
frequency, signal processing, instrumentation and microelectronics
Electronic Electronics engineering deals with implementation of applications, principles and
algorithms developed within many related fields, for example solid-state physics, radio
engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, systems
engineering, computer engineering, instrumentation engineering, electric power
control, robotics, and many others.
(such as semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits)
Mechanical The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas
including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural
analysis, and electricity. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools
like computer-aided design, and product lifecycle management to design and
analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and
cooling systems, transport systems,aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical
devices, weapons, and others.
