Types of Engineering and Industrial Engineering

Mineral engineers include mining, metallurgical and petroleum engineers, who are concerned with extracting minerals from the ground and converting them to pure forms.

Biomechanical engineers are concerned with how engineering can be applied to the human body. Backpack and clothing design, child safety car seats, and running shoes are just some of the products that biomechanical engineers use their knowledge and creativity to design.


Agricultural engineers are concerned with applying engineering technology and biological science to agriculture, and design agricultural machinery and equipment.Agricultural engineers also develop ways to conserve soil and water, and to improve the processing of agricultural products.

Environmental engineering is concerned with designing and managing systems to prevent and control pollution in water, in the air, on land, and in ground water.

Civil engineering is concerned with providing structures and systems such as cities, roads, buildings, bridges, railroads, and water systems. In addition, they protect society from the extreme forces of nature such as high winds, earthquakes, and floods.

Computer Engineering is concerned with understanding and design of computers and computational processes, including both hardware and software.The ultimate goal of computer science is to enable computer technology to solve problems in science, business, and industry.

Materials engineering is concerned with the application of science and engineering to metallic and nonmetallic materials, including their production, processing, properties, and applications.

Engineering physics is a branch of applied science that emphasizes both engineering and physics.Engineering physicists perform research and development in high-technology industries in the fields of telecommunications, microelectronics and microdevices, lasers, and novel materials.

Chemical engineering is a engineering discipline based on the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and mathematics, in which processes are conceived, designed, and operated to affect compositional changes in materials of all kinds.

Architectural engineering is a profession that focuses the problem-solving techniques of the engineer toward the design and construction of safe, economical buildings.

Nuclear engineering is concerned with the engineering aspects of the uses of nuclear processes for supplying human needs.

Electrical engineers is concerned with applying specialized engineering skills to the design, manufacture, application, installation, and operation of electrical products and systems.Electrical engineering is using in many areas such as systems control, electromagnetics, photonics, electronics, and power systems and devices.

Aerospace engineering is concerned with design, construction, and operation of vehicles that move above the Earth's surface.For example;aircraft, spacecraft, missiles,rockets,jets and Space Shuttles.

Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, development, and construction of nearly all of the physical devices and systems that technology has produced. Mechanical engineers are also concerned with the operations of all kinds of machinery and the production of power. They must conceive, research, design, develop, test, manufacture, and sell equipment for these purposes.

Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, installation, improvement, evaluation, and control of socio-technical systems in virtually all sectors, including manufacturing, distribution, government, energy, health care, and finance.

Industrial engineers difference from other engineering types is that they integrate humans, machines, materials, and information to optimize the performance of systems using resources in the most efficient way without hurting social and physical environment.In conclusion,they use ssciences,maths,physics and other engineering informations to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and resources.They increase efficiency of everything in their working area.There are several branches of industrial engineering with respect to their work such as Operations Research, Management Science, Financial Engineering, Supply Chain management, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Management, Systems Engineering,Process Engineering, Value Engineering and Quality Engineering.
