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. Electrical engineers are designing the dashboard computers that will monitor engine functions on automobiles of the future.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical engineers take raw materials and turn them into the products that we use every day. This means that they are crucial to producing pharmaceuticals, soft drinks, and even makeup. Many chemical engineers work with petroleum and plastics, although both of these are the subject of independent disciplines. The term “environmental engineering†also applies [...]
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
The intellectual descendants of the Wright brothers, aerospace engineers design and develop some of the world’s most marvelous machines. Commercial airplanes, military fighter jets, and space telescopes are all brainchildren of aerospace engineers. But aerospace technology has plenty of earthbound applications, such as aiding in the design of race cars and golf balls.
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERINGWorking alongside architects, architectural engineers focus on the safety, cost, and construction methods of designing a building. For example, as the United States 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

Aerospace Engineering
The Penn State Department of Aerospace Engineering recently fell in the ranking of the marketing of its graduates in aerospace and defense industries, but the service is not discouraged.
In a study conducted by Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine Penn State lost its top position at Purdue University, the fall in the second.
“I [...]
