1. Acoustic Engineering
Acoustic
or Sound Engineering teaches students how to design sound-proof
buildings and rooms, and develop techniques, and sound-absorbing
materials to reduce noise. Correspondingly, it plays a key role in
enhancing the sound quality for public platforms, such as auditoriums
and halls. Acoustic Engineers work with construction companies involved
in building large halls, buildings and public address systems; theatres
and producers of large music systems or speakers. At a time when the
real estate industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom, this
discipline offers great opportunities.
2. Aeronautical / Aerospace / Astronautical Engineering
An
Aeronautical engineer is involved in developing various technologies
related to aircrafts, spaceships and missiles. Aeronautics and
astronautics are among the most popular of engineering disciplines. Most
students wish to work with NASA after pursuing this branch of
Engineering. One can join a space research organization or, can become
an Astronaut. Some students may go on to work with airplane or missile
manufacturing companies. Originally called aeronautical engineering and
dealing solely with aircraft, the broader term "aerospace engineering"
has replaced the former in most usage, as flight technology has become
more advanced and includes craft operating outside the Earth's
atmosphere. In analogy with "aeronautical engineering", the branch is
sometimes referred to as astronautical engineering, although this term
usually only concerns craft which operate in outer space.
3. Agriculture Engineering
A
student, after getting this degree, can work in designing agricultural
equipment, which may lead to control of soil erosion. Agricultural
engineers work in irrigation and land conservation projects; and
efficient processing, transporting and storing of agricultural products
for maximum freshness and minimum losses; and also to reduce any kind of
human effort involved in these chores.
4. Automobiles engineering
Students
of this branch of engineering study about developing various
technologies related to automobiles and other vehicles as well as their
design and production. With the growing automobile industry, this branch
of engineering provides lucrative job opportunities and excellent
compensation for fresh engineering graduates as well as experienced
professionals.
5. Biochemical Engineering
Biochemical
engineering is a branch of chemical engineering that mainly deals with
the design and construction of unit processes that involve biological
organisms or molecules. Biochemical engineering is often taught as a
supplementary option to chemical engineering due to the similarities in
both the background subject curriculum and problem-solving techniques
used by both professions. Its applications are used in the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and water treatment industries
6. Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical
engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and
techniques to the medical field. It combines the design and problem
solving expertise of engineering with the medical expertise of
physicians to help improve patient health care and the quality of life
of healthy individuals. As a relatively new discipline, much of the work
in biomedical engineering consists of research and development,
covering an array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image
processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials
and bioengineering, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of
concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and
manufacture of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic
devices and imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, and pharmaceutical
drugs.
7. Chemical Engineering
Chemical

into more useful or valuable forms. As well as producing useful
materials, chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering
valuable new materials and techniques; an important form of research and
development. A person employed in this field is called a chemical
engineer. Chemical engineering largely involves barfing and reproducing.
Chemical engineers in this branch are usually employed under the title
of process engineer. The development of the large-scale processes
characteristic of industrialized economies is a feat of chemical
engineering, not chemistry. Indeed, chemical engineers are responsible
for the availability of the modern high-quality materials that are
essential for running an industrial economy.
8. Civil engineering
Civil
engineering -- one of the oldest branches of engineering and the first
to develop scientific principles -- deals mainly with construction.

roads, highways, flyovers and all kinds of structures for airports,
railways and many other constructions. The real estate, infrastructure,
and construction industry is growing at a very fast pace in India. These
industries serve as excellent career options for civil engineers and
architects. The salaries of civil engineers and architects have been
growing exponentially in the last few years.
9. Computers engineering/ Software engineering/ Information Technology
In
Computer Science and Software Engineering branches, both the hardware

artificial intelligence, robotics and computations used in modern
industrial scenario. Software involves learning programming languages
and operating systems, which may be used to develop application programs
for man-machine interface.
Computer
engineering (also called electronic and computer engineering) is a
discipline that combines elements of both electrical engineering and
computer science. Computer engineers are electrical engineers that have
additional training in the areas of software design and
hardware-software integration. In turn, they focus less on power
electronics and physics. Computer engineers are involved in many aspects
of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal
computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This engineering
discipline is especially useful for integrating embedded systems into
devices and machines (for example, several embedded computer systems are
used to control and monitor the many subsystems in motor vehicles).
Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and
firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing
analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing
operating systems. Computer engineers are also suited for robotics
research, which relies heavily on using digital systems to control and
monitor electrical systems like motors, communications, and sensors.
Information
technology (IT) is the study, design, development, implementation,
support or management of computer-based information systems,
particularly software applications and computer hardware. In short, IT
deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to
convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information.
Software
engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined,
quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of
software. The discipline of software engineering encompasses knowledge,
tools, and methods for defining software requirements, and performing
software design, software construction, software testing, and software
maintenance tasks. Software engineering also draws on knowledge from
fields such as computer engineering, computer science, management,
mathematics, project management, quality management, software
ergonomics, and systems engineering.
