Engineering Basics: What are the types of Engineering?
Back to Prospective: Undergraduate: Questions and Answers Architectural Engineering Working alongside architects, architectural engineers focus on the safety, cost, and construction methods of designing a building. For example, as the U.S. population grows in the Southwest, more and more architectural engineers are investigating new ways to build on land where there is only sand and sagebrush. Biomedical Engineering Biomedical engineering combines biology and engineering. Some of these engineers work closely with biologist and medical doctors to develop medical instruments, artificial organs, and prosthetic devices. Others investigate questions that involve technology and humans such as: How does working with computers all day affect one’s health? Chemical Engineering Chemical Engineers are concerned primarily with process engineering, or converting raw materials into valuable products. The products may include pharmaceuticals, valuable chemical intermediates or specialized plastics. T
