COMPUTER ENGINEERING • Computer engineers deal with all aspects of computer systems including design, construction, and operation. – Some Sub. Disciplines • Computer Design and Engineering -- Design new computer circuits, microchips, etc. . • Computer Architecture -- Design new computer instruction sets, and combine electronic or optical components to provide powerful but cost-effective computing. • Information Technology -- Develop and manage information systems that support a business or organization. • Software Engineering -- Develop methods for the production of software systems on time, within budget, with few defects • Controls Software – Control Micro. Wave Ovens to Space Ships
Electrical Engineering • Electrical engineering, the discipline that employs the largest number of engineers, covers everything related to electrical devices, systems, and the use of electricity. • Electrical engineers work on power plants, computers, and other electrical devices.
Environmental Engineering • Environmental engineers assist with the development of water distribution systems, recycling methods, sewage treatment plants, and other pollution prevention and control systems in the water, air, and land. • Environmental engineers seek new ways to reduce any undesirable Consequence of Human Activity
Industrial Engineering • Industrial Engineers Organize The People, Information, Energy, Materials, And Machines Involved In The Production Process. • They Are Concerned With Plant Design And Management, Quality Control, And The Human Factors Of Engineering.
Marine & Ocean Engineering • Ocean engineers direct the exploration and utilization of the ocean's resources. – Often closely tied to Civil, Petroleum and Mechanical Engineering. • ocean engineers might focus attention on underwater oil or gas exploration (petroleum engineering tasks), • OE’s design structures such as offshore drilling platforms, harbor facilities, and underwater machines (resembles Civil or Mechanical Engineering)
Materials Engineering • Metallurgical and materials engineers extract, process, refine, combine, and manufacture natural substances to create new materials that are stronger and resist corrosion. • MSEs Have In Recent Years Made Major Contributions to Bio. Technology and Advancement of Solid State Electronics
Mechanical Engineering • The Broadest of Engineering Disciplines – Covers everything from Fracture. Mechanics to Robotic Systems to Thermodynamics to Heat Transfer
ASME Divisions • 38 Total
Mineral and Mining Engineering • Mining Engineering is the SECOND Oldest of the Engineering Discipline – The Roots of ME Reside within Mine. E – Mineral and mining engineers locate, remove, and appraise minerals they find in the earth. – Mining engineers lay out the mines, supervise their construction, create a materials transportation system, and return the area to its natural state upon mining completion.
Nuclear Engineering • A Sub. Discipline of ME – NUCLEAR ENGINEERING combines the disciplines of nuclear physics and mechanical engineering – Nuclear engineers design, develop, and control plants that use nuclear energy for Electrical-Power and Medical purposes.
Petroleum Engineering • A Combination of Chemical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering • Petroleum engineers search the earth and the world's oceans to find and produce oil and gas supplies. – Some Important Sub. Disciplines » Drilling Engineer, Working With Geologists In Designing And Supervising Drilling Operations » Production Engineer, Developing Processes And Equipment To Optimize Oil And Gas Production » Reservoir Engineers Determine Ideal Recovery Processes, Estimate The Number Of Wells That Can Be Economically Drilled, And Simulate Future Performance Using Computer Models
