bridges
electrical and electronic engineering - Answer- largest engineering discipline
design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment
mechanical engineering - Answer- The branch of engineering that deals with the
design, construction, and operation of machinery
one of the broadest engineering branches
aerospace engineering - Answer- design,develop, test, and supervise the
manufacture of commercial and military aircraft, helicopters, spacecraft, and missiles
biomedical engineering - Answer- new discipline that combines biology, chemistry,
medicine, and engineering to solve a wide range of medical and health-related
problems.
They apply the laws and the principles of chemistry, biology, medicine, and
engineering to design artificial limbs, organs, imaging systems, and devices used in
medical procedures.
chemical engineering - Answer- use the principles of chemistry and basic
engineering sciences to solve a variety of problems related to the production of
chemicals and their use in various industries, including the pharmaceutical,
electronic, and photographic industries.
environmental engineering - Answer- apply the laws and the principles of chemistry,
biology, and engineering to address issues related to water and air pollution control,
