| A | B |
| Aeronautical and aerospace engineers | design, manufacture and operate aircraft, spacecraft, missiles and rockets. |
| Biomedical engineers | apply engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. |
| Mechanical engineers | design, build and test machines, engines and other mechanical devices. |
| Chemical engineers | design equipment and processes for large-scale chemical manufacturing, plan and test methods of manufacturing products and treating byproducts, and supervise production. |
| Civil engineers | plan, design, construct and maintain structures – such as buildings, roads, bridges and dams – that meet human needs. |
| Sustainable "green" design engineers | comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability in their design of physical objects. |
| Electrical and electronics engineers | design, develop, test and supervise the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment • Broadcast and communications systems |
| Systems engineers | draw from many engineering fields and backgrounds to combine emerging technologies to create new ideas and materials. |
| Biomechanical engineers | look at how engineering can be applied to the human body. Understanding the mechanics of how we walk and run, sit and stand, etc. |
| Photonics | is the science of generating, controlling, and detecting photons especially in the visible light spectrum. Photonics engineers use this science to understand and make use of the emission, transmission, amplification, detection, modulation, and switching of light |
| Computer software engineers | apply the quickly evolving principles and techniques of computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing and evaluation of software and software systems. |
| Computer hardware engineers | research, design, develop and test computer hardware and supervise its manufacture and installation. |
| Nuclear engineers | research and develop the processes, instruments and systems needed to derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. |
| Mineral engineers | include mining, metallurgical and petroleum engineers, who are focused on extracting minerals from the ground and converting them to pure forms. |
| Agricultural engineers | apply engineering technology and biological science to agriculture, and design agricultural machinery and equipment.Agricultural engineers also develop ways to conserve soil and water, and to improve the processing of agricultural products. |
