BRANCHES OF

ENGINEERING
TOPIC 1
What is Engineering?

Engineering is the discipline, art, and profession that apply scientific theory to
design, develop, and analyze technological solutions. In the contemporary era, is
generally considered to consist of the major basic branches of chemical
engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
There are numerous other engineering sub disciplines and interdisciplinary
subjects that are derived from concentrations, combinations, or extensions of the
major engineering branches.
