Engineering
is a discipline which provides an opportunity to implement and enhance your
skills practically in a real-world environment. It is an art and profession of
acquiring scientific, mathematical, socio-economic and practical knowledge and
uses the same for designing and building big devices, structures, systems,
materials and processes which can serve the society in its advancement and
comfort. Engineering inspires to use skills and knowledge in combination to
various domains, or individually, in order to create better products and
applications. It provides ample of opportunities to expose and enhance
creativity through practical implementation of scientific principles. A person,
who practices engineering, is called an Engineer with a variety of stream and
domain specific designations.
Engineering , A single word, represents a broad range of specialized disciplines, each further representing a broad category of tasks performed in the society. Each sub-discipline lays emphasis on certain fields of application and particular areas of technology.
If we go back and look into ancient time of humanity, we will find that every day has led to one or other invention inspired by engineering. The most remarkable ones are pulley, wheel , lever, etc. which are special engineering inspired machines developed by the ancient humans. Every device or machinery we operate today, uses one or more variations of ancient engineering examples. The wide growth of engineering streams has brought Industrial Revolution in our society and has also converted the whole landmass of earth into a small village where two persons are at the distance of only a single click from each other. Although a wide range of disciplines has come into existence, still, the core disciplines are growing widely providing more opportunities to invent, learn and earn.

Scope of Engineering
The
question of scope is answered by simple thoughts: What would have happened if
we never got a circular tyre (Wheel)? What would have happened if there would
be no pulleys? What would have happened if there were no computers, mobiles,
televisions, satellites? Is it possible to live a life without a cycle or bike
or car? The only answer is NO!! We cannot think of a good and developed life
and society without Engineering.
Engineering is the parent or source of all developmental activities. May it be agriculture equipment, industrial automation, distant communication, consumer products, space technology or any other activity, engineering is embedded in all technological achievements that emerge from the fundamental principle of theories and subsequent development of its prototype. New concepts with the real world applications have been evolving.
Engineering has its roots in ancient era and has eventually grown into a big tree of applications and technology. If we go back and look into ancient time of humanity, we will find that every day has led to one or other invention inspired by engineering. The most remarkable ones are pulley, wheel , lever, etc. which are special engineering inspired machines developed by the ancient humans. Every device or machinery we operate today, uses one or more variations of ancient engineering examples.
As the time passed, early mechanical engineering lead the rapid growth of Civil Engineering by helping in designs and establishment of bigger structures like bridges, buildings, etc. More disciplines started to take birth with the advancements in native one. Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Information Technology were some of the disciplines which were counted as the core streams and eventually lead into more sophisticated streams which may be seen as clever combinations of native engineering like Aeronautical engineering, Electro Mechanical Engineering, etc. The wide growth of these engineering streams has brought Industrial Revolution in our society and has also converted the whole landmass of earth into a small village where two persons are at the distance of only a single click from each other.
Thus, engineering has become an integral part of all kinds of developmental activities. Engineering plays like the blood for overall social development. Advancements of engineering streams has provided a better, comfortable, safer, faster society which helps us to keep on growing with pace.

Engineering Streams
So you
want to become an Engineer?
Let us have a brief look at the aim of major engineering disciplines. Following is the alphabetic list of some of the major Engineering streams, from which you can choose to the best of your liking.
1. Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering:
– This engineering course deals with the design, creation and operation of machines related to flying – planes, missiles, rockets, spacecrafts etc. Aerodynamics, avionics, propulsion, acoustics are subjects that are taught under this course.
2. Agricultural Engineering:
– This branch of engineering focuses on the
design and operation of tools, implementations and machines that are used in
the practice of agriculture.
3.
Automobile Engineering:
– This stream of engineering studies deals with the design, creation, manufacture and operation of machines relevant to automobiles ranging from the ubiquitous motorcycle to buses and trucks.
4. Chemical Engineering:
– Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with physical science (e.g., chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g., biology, microbiology and biochemistry) with mathematics and economics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. In addition, modern chemical engineers are also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and related techniques – which are often essential to related fields such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and biomedical engineering.[
5. Civil Engineering:
– This branch deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline.
6. Computer Engineering:
– This engineering stream teaches about the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of computer components. Computer engineers embed computers in other machines and systems, build networks to transfer data, and develop ways to make computers, faster, smaller, and more capable.
7. Electronics and Electrical Engineering:
– This engineering course includes research, development, design, creation and maintenance of a diverse set of objects ranging from global Positioning Systems to semi-conductor chips used in mobile phones.
8. Information Technology:
– Information technology (IT) is concerned with technology to treat information. It monitors the use of computers and software to manage information. The acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and telecommunications are its main fields.
9. Instrumentation Engineering:
–
This engineering stream teaches about design, manufacture and maintenance of
instruments and instrument units.
10. Mechanical Engineering:
– This engineering branch is concerned with the design, construction, and operation of power plants, engines, and machines. It deals mostly with things that move.
