What are different types of engineering careers?

Answer 1

Engineering is basically applied science. There are lots of jobs in engineering; many of them have "engineering" as part of their name; some don't. Examples include work in computer hardware, computer programming, architecture, economics, and many others. The Wikipedia article "List of engineering branches" lists quite a few, but there are probably more, or you can break them up into more branches.

Please note that any study and work in engineering will require a lot of mathematics and science. Some people like that; some don't.

Answer 2

There are basically an infinite number of types of engineers. Colleges are inventing new degrees every day. Like "nanoscale synthetic neuroprocessors engineer" or "biomimetic robotic engineer" or whatever.

Some of the more common ones that you will find as recognized fields, however, are:

Mechanical Engineer

Electrical Engineer

Electronics Engineer (subtly different)

Computer Engineer

Software Engineer

Aerospace Engineer

Aerodynamics Engineer

RF or Microwave Engineer

Systems Engineer

Industrial Engineer

Controls Engineer

Human Factors Engineer

Safety Engineer

Energetics Engineer (explosives, rockets, etc)

Nuclear Engineer

Thermal Engineer

Optics Engineer

Materials Engineer

Chemical Engineer

Engineering Biologist (blends Biology and engineering)

Cryogenic Engineer

Engineering Architect (does systems and component architecture descriptions)

and

Engineering Management (which is NOT really engineering)

I am sure there are many others as well.

Answer 3

Well to begin with I'm not entirely sure how the number 17 came up but there are many different branches or engineering to name a few...

Aeronautical - aerodynamics, plane and boat design ect.

Civil - infer-structure building (roads, buildings ect.)

Chemical (or Process) - product manufacture (chemicals, materials, consumer products, energy production... as well as many other field's)

Computer Systems - designing and operating computer mainframes as well as some software

Electrical - Power transfer, electrical circuits ect.

Engineering Science - modeling of systems (this is another broad area and can be anything from computer modeling of oil wells to climate change research)

Materials - specific to metals, alloys, polymers and there use and production

Mechanical - moving systems, engines, booms ect.

Mechatronics - a mixture of mechanical and software it is to do with mainly robotics

Software - Designing computer software

But those are only the broad areas there are many specialist engineering areas including

Biomedical

Photovoltaic

Nanotech

Agricultural

Genetic (some argue this is not a field of engineering but is instead Biological Sciences)

Structural (subset of civil)

Geological (another subset of civil)

Environmental (sometimes classed as a subset of civil)

Industrial (subset of chemical)

Mining (subset of chemical)

well that's 19... I hope that helps

Answer 4

Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical.

Also:

Civil, Chemical, Biomechanical, Computer, etc...

Almost any field can have an engineer, as "engineer" can be treated as a verb as well as a noun.
