Outline Of Engineering

Short description: Overview of and topical guide to engineering

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to engineering:

Engineering is the scientific discipline and profession that applies scientific theories, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to design, create, and analyze technological solutions cognizant of safety, human factors, physical laws, regulations, practicality, and cost.

Branches of engineering

Applied engineering – application of management, design, and technical skills for the design and integration of systems, the execution of new product designs, the improvement of manufacturing processes, and the management and direction of physical and/or technical functions of a firm or organization.

- Acoustical engineering – includes audio engineering
- Aerospace engineering – branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. It is broken into two major and overlapping branches:
  - Aeronautical engineering – deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere
  - Astronautical engineering – deals with craft that operate outside of Earth's atmosphere
- Automotive engineering (automotive systems engineering)
- Manufacturing engineering
- Marine engineering
- Thermal engineering
- Naval architecture
- Sports engineering
- Vacuum engineering
Military engineering

- Military technology
Petroleum engineering
- Petroleum geology
- Drilling engineering
- Production engineering
- Reservoir engineering
- Well logging
- Well testing
Radiation engineering
- Nuclear engineering
- Radiation protection engineering
Planetary engineering – planetary engineering is the application of technology for the purpose of influencing the global properties of a planet. The goal of this theoretical task is usually to make other worlds habitable for life. Perhaps the best-known type of planetary engineering is terraforming, by which a planet's surface conditions are altered to be more like those of Earth.
- Climate engineering (geoengineering)
Software engineering
- Computer-aided engineering
- Knowledge engineering
- Language engineering
- Release engineering
- Teletraffic engineering
- Usability engineering
Sustainable engineering
Systems engineering – analysis, design, and control of gigantic engineering systems.
