Mechanical Engineering
Probably the most classic engineering discipline involving a fundamental knowledge which is perhaps even comparable with physics in terms of scope is mechanical engineering, also known by the earlier term machine construction, which deals with the...

Apparatus and plant engineering
Apparatus and plant engineering is by no means an independent discipline, but rather very much an interdisciplinary area of activity. Ways of working and thinking are orientated in equal measure towards mechanical engineering, process-engineering unit...

Process Engineering
Process engineering is an interdisciplinary science, which combines other specialist areas such as biology, chemistry, physics and mechanical engineering and includes the conversion of materials. Process engineering thus defines technical processes in...

Electrical engineering
Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with uses of electricity and its physical phenomena. Originally electrical engineering formed part of physics but over the course of time has developed into its own discipline. It includes...
