ALMAZAN, ELIZABETH MAE S.

Using the Internet, search for other 10 engineering disciplines aside from those
that were discussed and presented. Be able to write the main
function/responsibilities for each discipline. Also, find the appropriate
organizations for those engineering disciplines and write the goals and missions
of the organizations.

➢ Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering is a unique area of study because it does not directly
create or invent any solutions to problems. The discipline focuses on the
entrepreneurial and business aspect of engineering projects. Whether it is
research and development or group projects, industrial engineers desire to
create the most efficient plans for employee scheduling, factory schedules, and
a multitude of other factors.

ALMAZAN, ELIZABETH MAE S.

➢ Process Engineering
Process engineering is the understanding and application of the fundamental
principles and laws of nature that allow humans to transform raw material and
energy into products that are useful to society, at an industrial level. By taking
advantage of the driving forces of nature such as pressure, temperature and
concentration gradients, as well as the law of conservation of mass, process
engineers can develop methods to synthesize and purify large quantities of desired
chemical products. Process engineering focuses on the design, operation, control,
optimization and intensification of chemical, physical, and biological processes.
Process engineering encompasses a vast range of industries, such
as agriculture, automotive, biotechnical, chemical, food, material
development, mining, nuclear, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and software
development. The application of systematic computer-based methods to process
engineering is "process systems engineering".
