This document discusses the application of information technology in various engineering fields. It first defines information technology and engineering. It then explains how IT has merged with engineering fields since the 1990s, enabling advances like using computer simulations of origami for satellite assembly. It provides examples of how IT supports chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering through applications like computer-aided design, analysis, and manufacturing. These allow faster, less expensive exploration of design options and testing without building prototypes. The conclusion states that IT has helped make engineering work less time-consuming, costly and more efficient.

2. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY(IT)
 Information technology (IT) is the application of
computers and telecommunications equipment to
store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data , often
in the context of a business or other enterprise.
 The term is commonly used as a synonym for
computers and computer networks, but it also
encompasses other information distribution
technologies such as television and telephones.
 In a business context, the Information Technology
Association of America has defined information
technology as "the study, design, development,
application, implementation, support or management
of computer-based information systems"

3. INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY(IT)
The number one benefit of information
technology is that it empowers people to do
what they want to do. It lets people be
productive . It lets people learn things they
did not think they could learn before and so in
a sense it is all about potential.
-Steve Ballmer

4. ENGINEERING
 Engineering is the application of scientific, economic,
social, and practical knowledge, in order to design,
build, and maintain structures, machines, devices,
systems, materials and processes.
 The American Engineers' Council for Professional
Development (ECPD) has defined "engineering" as:
The creative application of scientific principles to
design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or
manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them
singly or in combination; or to construct or operate
the same with full cognizance of their design; or to
forecast their behavior under specific operating
conditions; all as respects an intended function,
economics of operation or safety to life and
property.

5. MAIN BRANCHES OF ENGINEERING
 much like other science, is a broad
discipline which is often broken down into
several sub-disciplines.
 Often it is characterized as having four
main branches:
Chemical engineering
Civil engineering
Electrical engineering
Mechanical engineering

6. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING
 since the 90s we have increasingly seen a merger of
the two fields, which is not only resulting in a rise in
software engineering jobs but in the widespread
adoption of computer-aided technologies into
traditional engineering fields.
 One recent example of the incredible merger of
computer technology and engineering was the use of
computer simulations of origami models in order to
assist in space satellite assembly and development.
These computerized origami models have also been
used in certain nanotechnological applications as well,
including attempts to create more durable and
sustainable materials and substances for
manufacturing industries.

7. APPLICATION OF IT IN CHEMICAL
ENGINEERING
 The application of physics, chemistry, biology,
and engineering principles in order to carry out
chemical processes on a commercial scale is
Chemical engineering.
 applications designing and managing plants,
simplifying calculations and drawings, that
previously had to be done manually.
 Supporting the activities during the life cycle of
a chemical process by means of information
technology.

8. APPLICATION OF IT IN CIVIL
ENGINEERING
 The design and construction of
public and private works, such as
infrastructure (airports, roads,
railways, water supply and
treatment etc.), bridges, dams, and
buildings.
 The application of planning,
designing, constructing, maintaining,
calculations, including structural
design, geometry calculations, and
applications for project
management.

9. APPLICATION OF IT IN ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING
 The design and study of various electrical
and electronic systems, such as electrical
circuits, generators, motors,
electromagnetic devices, electronic
circuits, optical fibers, computer
systems, telecommunications, etc is
known as Electrical Engineering.
 Advantage of the speed of computer
analysis, the engineer can explore a
greater number of design options in a
short period of time. It allows an
engineer to make immediate comparisons
and see the impact of each.

10. APPLICATION OF IT IN MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING
 The design of physical or mechanical systems,
such as power and energy systems,
aerospace/aircraft products, weapon systems,
transportation products engines, compressors,
power trains, kinematic chains, vacuum
technology, and vibration isolation equipment.
 Test new products without building expensive
prototype and use of visualization technology to
transform data into image or environment.

11. COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN(CAD)
 An increasing popular tool for product
design.
 computer programs or integrated
packages for workstation hardware and
software and that allow the user to draw
and easily modify product design on a
computer screen.
 used to design curves and figures in two-
dimensional (2D) space; or curves,
surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional
(3D) space.
 can be used for the variety of tools for
measurement such as tensile strength,
yield strength, also its stress and strain
and how the element gets affected in
certain temperatures.

12. COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING
The use of computer software
to control machine tools and
related machinery in
the manufacturing process
programming tool, where in two-
dimensional(2D)or three
dimensional (3D) models of
components.
 ease of use, has zooming
feature whereby designer can
magnify certain element of
model for inspection which
decrease Manufacturing
complexity.

13. CONCLUSION
 Lastly,IT has helped a lot in the
field of Engineering. Without IT
work of engineers will be time
consuming, costly and not much
efficient.
 IThas helped to test,design ,maintain and
simulate problems for engineers.
