Utilizing scientific knowledge and numerous sets of technical skills engineering is a professional discipline that has put man on the moon and will take humanity far beyond in to the stars. To design, innovate and advance technological solutions for the world is the modern engineer’s purpose in life. Engineering consists of four chief branches, civil engineering, electrical engineering; chemical engineering and mechanical engineering (Engineering, 2014). This paper will cover three of the four engineering fields.
Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity and electromagnetism. This field emerged in the 19th century after the commercialization of electricity in the forms of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution. The developments of the transistor, integrated circuit, witch lead to the modern …show more content…
Mechanical Engineering can be historically traced back to ancient Greece and China, where mechanisms such as screw pumps, steam engines were invented (Mechanical, 2014). Armed with Newton’s Laws of Motion and calculus mechanical engineers have contributed countless innovations to the success of humanity throughout history.
Scientific research and development and the business of manufacturing are some key undertakings practiced by Mechanical Engineers. Mechanical engineers work in teams and are responsible for the development of an extensive diversity of products and systems including, for instance, the space shuttle, aircraft carriers, submarines, jet turbines, pumps, and power plants. In fact all aspects of our national defense utilize and depend on mechanical engineering. Practically any machine you can think of has benefited from the hard work and innovations of a mechanical
