The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to engineering:
Engineering is the scientific discipline and profession that applies scientific theories, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to design, create, and analyze technological solutions cognizant of safety, human factors, physical laws, regulations, practicality, and cost.
Branches of engineering
[edit | edit source]- Applied engineering – application of management, design, and technical skills for the design and integration of systems, the execution of new product designs, the improvement of manufacturing processes, and the management and direction of physical and/or technical functions of a firm or organization.
- Biological engineering
- Civil engineering
- Chemical engineering (outline)
- Molecular engineering
- Process engineering – also appears under industrial engineering
- Electrical engineering (outline)
- Broadcast engineering
- Computer engineering (outline)
- Power systems engineering
- Telecommunications engineering
- Electronic engineering (includes microelectronics engineering, microelectronics and semiconductor engineering)

- Crystal engineering
- Electronic materials
- Forensic materials engineering
- Metal forming
- Metallurgical engineering
- Nanomaterials
- Polymer engineering
- Surface engineering
- Vitreous materials (glass)
- Welding
- Mechanical engineering
- Acoustical engineering – includes audio engineering
- Aerospace engineering – branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. It is broken into two major and overlapping branches:
- Aeronautical engineering – deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere
- Astronautical engineering – deals with craft that operate outside of Earth's atmosphere
- Automotive engineering (automotive systems engineering)
- Manufacturing engineering
- Marine engineering
- Thermal engineering
- Naval architecture
- Sports engineering
- Vacuum engineering
- Military engineering
- Petroleum engineering
- Radiation engineering
- Planetary engineering – planetary engineering is the application of technology for the purpose of influencing the global properties of a planet. The goal of this theoretical task is usually to make other worlds habitable for life. Perhaps the best-known type of planetary engineering is terraforming, by which a planet's surface conditions are altered to be more like those of Earth.
- Climate engineering (geoengineering)
- Software engineering
- Sustainable engineering
- Systems engineering – analysis, design, and control of gigantic engineering systems.
