 Reading
The 5 Types of Engineering
Engineering is a broad term that encompasses any scientific or
technological branch that deals primarily with designing and
developing machines, engines, and other products or
architectural structures. After all, to "engineer" something means
to create, build, or design it.

Some types of engineering are considered subfields of other

broader kinds of engineering. For example, environmental
engineering is often described as a subset of civil engineering.
Moreover, some branches, like industrial engineering, are
considered interdisciplinary because they combine aspects from
multiple disciplines.

There are also some types of engineering that fall into more than
one category, as well as those that don't fit neatly in any
category, such as nuclear engineering, biological engineering,
and rehabilitation engineering.

Should you major in engineering?
Engineering is an in-demand tech field with tons of options for
specializations and industries to work in. When determining whether
you should major in engineering, think about your interests, skills, and
professional goals. Here are three questions to consider before
deciding whether to declare an engineering major.
