5 main engineering degree streams

The field of engineering is extremely stable and required for the world. It is an excellent profession and the opportunities are nearly endless for engineers. Today, engineers are responsible for of current and up-coming technologies. Today the number of engineering degrees has increased dramatically, but here is a list of five major branches of engineering:

1.     Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering deals with the design of mechanical systems. These systems are widely used in industries such as: manufacturing, aeronautics, nuclear power, heating and ventilation, and all other available industries.  This course focused on structural analysis, materials science, and thermodynamics. This is the broadest and strongest of all engineering degrees available today and has job opportunities in a wide range of engineering fields.

2.     Electronics Engineering

All peoples make use electronics every single day. Electronics technology have changed the way world. Electronics contribution ranges from revolutionary computer to the latest mobile phone technology that fits in your pocket. Electronics engineers are required to design and build electronic devices and equipment's. Electronics engineers work with circuits, switchboards, devices manufacturing, testing  etc
                                                                   
3.     Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering deals with construction of all infrastructures like buildings, roads, bridges, airports, railways etc. Civil Engineers also deals with the processes like reconstruction, renovation etc. Civil engineering jobs are available with the private and public sector. This is a wide degree of engineering which includes Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering etc.

4.     Electrical Engineering Degree

Electrical Engineering deals with the study of available energies. Energy is available in various forms such as electrical energy, hydro energy, wind energy, solar energy etc. Electrical engineers develop technologies to realize the practical application of the available energies. Electrical design is required most of the other engineering fields like electronics devices/equipments manufacturing, communications systems, mechanical plants, power grids, automobile fields etc.

5.     Computer Engineering Degree

Computer Engineering helps to expand the field of Information Technology. This involves programming technologies, designing, development, networking etc. Computer Engineers have wide opportunities in Telecommunications, Networking, Software Application or Web Development, Manufacturing etc. Most of the white collar jobs come under this field.
