| Engineering is the discipline and profession of applying technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge in order to utilize natural laws and physical resources to help design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that safely realize a desired objective. On this page, we have tried to cover various engineering courses including the online degree programs available in India. These details about the various branches of engineering courses will give you a fair idea as to what to opt for or specialize in.
The information about the engineering branches provided here are correct to the best of our knowledge, but we would still insist you verify the details if you feel like.
Following are the some of the streams of engineering that one can opt for while doing engineering studies in India- - Computer Engineering/Software Engineering:Deals with the creation, operation and maintenance of computer software and systems. People who work in this field are referred to as software engineers
- Electronic and Electrical Engineering :This engineering course includes research, development, design, creation and maintenance of a diverse set of objects ranging from global Positioning Systems to semi-conductor chips used in mobile phones.
- Industrial Engineering : This branch of engineering studies teaches how to make the machines and people work in tandem with each other so that maximum productivity is derived.
- Instrumentation Engineering : This engineering stream teaches about design, manufacture and maintenance of instruments and instrument units.
- Manufacturing Engineering: A Manufacturing Engineer is taught how to manufacture things - be it structures, machinery, electronics, medical devices, automobile parts, textiles and clothing, or household products or toys or cans and bottles any thing and everything that can be manufactured.
- Marine Engineering: Under this engineering course, one gets to learn the designing, construction and management of ships and other naval vehicles.
- Mechanical Engineering: This engineering branch is concerned with the design, construction, and operation of power plants, engines, and machines. It deals mostly with things that move.
- Metallurgical Engineering: This stream of engineering studies deals with metals - basically the research, development and manufacture of new metal alloys for wide applications across industries.
- Mining Engineering: This engineering stream deals with mines and minerals. The mining equipment is developed and manufactured by mining engineers. Besides this, there are also an array of other engineering courses which one can specialize in like ceramic engineering, textile engineering, nuclear engineering.
- Biological Engineering: Biological engineering (also biosystems engineering and bioengineering) deals with engineering biological processes in general.Bioengineering is a discipline that applies engineering principles to biological systems for the purpose of developing new technologies of services to improve the living standards of societies. It exploits the new developments in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, cell metabolism and engineering principles and applies them in order to understand living systems and to bring solutions various problems associated with these systems.
- Bioengineering may be categorised as:
-Bioprocess Engineering; Bioprocess Design, Biocatalysis, Bioseparation. -Genetic Engineering; Cell Engineering, Tissue Culture Engineering. -Biomedical Engineering; Biomedical Diagnosis, Biomedical Therapy, Biomechanics, Biomaterials. - Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (e.g. chemistry and physics), with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. As well as producing useful materials, chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques; an important form of research and development..
- Petroleum engineering is involved in the exploration and production activities of petroleum as an upstream end of the energy sector. Upstream refers to the process of finding and extracting oil, which is usually buried deep beneath the earth's surface, to provide a continuous supply to consumers "downstream". Petroleum engineering covers a wide range of topics, including economics, geology, geochemistry, geomechanics, geophysics, oil drilling, geopolitics, knowledge management, seismology, tectonics, thermodynamics, well logging, well completion, oil and gas production, reservoir development, and pipelines.
- Textile engineering (TE) or textile technology deals with the application of scientific and engineering principles to the design and control of all aspects of fiber, textile, and apparel processes, products, and machinery. These include natural and man-made materials, interaction of materials with machines, safety and health, energy conservation, and waste and pollution control. Additionally, textile engineers are given training and experience in plant design and layout, machine and wet process design and improvement, and designing and creating textile products.
- Space Technology:Space technology is a term that is often treated as a category. Outer space (as commonly used, the universe exclusive of Earth, see also Extraterrestrial) is such an alien environment that attempting to work with it leads inevitably to new leading edge techniques and knowledge. New technologies originating with or accelerated by space-related endeavors are often subsequently exploited in other economic activities.
- Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering
This engineering course deals with the design, creation and operation of machines related to flying - planes, missiles, rockets, spacecrafts etc. Aerodynamics, avionics, propulsion, acoustics are subjects that are taught under this course. - Agricultural Engineering: This branch of engineering focuses on the design and operation of tools, implements and machines that are used in the practice of agriculture
- Automobile Engineering: This stream of engineering studies deals with the design, creation, manufacture and operation of machines relevant to automobiles ranging from the ubiquitous motorcycle to buses and trucks
- Civil Engineering - This engineering course teaches about the design, development and construction of bridges, dams, metro, railroad systems etc
