Bachelor of Engineering - Fields

Fields

A Bachelor of Engineering degree will usually be undertaken in one field of engineering, which is sometimes noted in the degree postnominals, as in BE(Aero) or BEng(Elec). Common fields for the Bachelor of Engineering degree include the following fields::

• Aerospace Engineering
• Automotive engineering
• Biological/Chemical Engineering: Including Biochemical, Biomedical, Biosystems, Biomolecular, and Chemical engineering
• Chemical Engineering: Deals with the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms
• Clean Technology:Use energy, water and raw materials and other inputs more efficiently and productively. Create less waste or toxicity. Deliver equal or superior performance.
• Computer Engineering
• Civil Engineering: This is a wide-ranging field including building engineering, civil engineering, construction engineering, industrial, manufacturing, mechanical, materials and control engineering
• Electrical and Computer Engineering/Electronic Engineering: Very diverse field including Computer Engineering, Communication/Communication systems engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Microelectronic Engineering, Microelectronics, Nanotechnology, Mechatronics, Software Engineering, Systems, Wireless and Telecommunications, Photovoltaic and Power Engineering
• Electrical Controls Engineering: A relatively new and more specialized subdiscipline of Electrical Engineering that focuses on integrating Electrical Controls, and their programming.
• Engineering Management: Which is the application of engineering principles to the planning and operational management of industrial and manufacturing operations
• Environmental Engineering: Includes fields such as Environmental, Geological, Geomatic, Mining, Marine, and Ocean engineering
• Fire Protection Engineering: Is the application of science and engineering principles to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire and smoke.
• Geomatics Engineering: The acquisition, modeling, analysis and management of spatial data. Focuses on satellite positioning, remote sensing, land surveying, wireless location and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
• Geotechnical Engineering: A combination of civil and mining engineering, and involves the analysis of earth materials.
• Industrial Engineering: Which studies facilities planning, production management, statistical quality control, etc.
• Instrumentation engineering: which is a branch of engineering dealing with measurement
• Manufacturing Engineering: Includes operations management and production management
• Materials Engineering: Includes metallurgy, polymer and ceramic engineering
• Mechanical Engineering: Includes engineering of machines and engines. Explores the applications of the theoretical field of Mechanics.
