Types of Engineering:
Different type of engineering stream that is taught in Nepal are
1. Civil Engineering - construction
Civil engineering is the most popular and oldest discipline of engineering in Nepal and outside Nepal too. There arewide variety of scopes that civil engineers deal with. The most common infrastructures of civilizations like building a home or bridge, designing a road line involves civil engineering. Civil engineering is an exciting and rewarding profession in Nepal as it is in rest of the world. The career prospects of civil engineering is unlimited. Civil engineering takes place in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
2. Mechanical Engineering - machine
Mechanical engineering is alsoa broadest and popular disciplines of engineering like civil engineering in Nepal and outside Nepal. In general it can be said that mechanical engineering is involved in the study of movable objects. Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that applies the principles of physics, mathematics and material science for the innovation of mechanical systems. The vast field of study in mechanical engineering allows students/engineers to get their hands on one of the various career options.
3. Electrical Engineering - electricity
Electrical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators. Early experiments with electricity included primitive batteries and static charges. However, the actual design, construction and manufacturing of useful devices and systems began with the implementation of Michael Faraday's Law of Induction, which essentially states that the voltage in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change in the magnetic field through the circuit. This law applies to the basic principles of the electric generator, the electric motor and the transformer. The advent of the modern age is marked by the introduction of electricity to homes, businesses and industry, all of which were made possible by electrical engineers.
Some of the most prominent pioneers in electrical engineering include Thomas Edison (electric light bulb), George Westinghouse (alternating current), Nikola Tesla (induction motor), Guglielmo Marconi (radio) and Philo T. Farnsworth (television). These innovators turned ideas and concepts about electricity into practical devices and systems that ushered in the modern age.
Electrical engineers workin various projects ranging from small-scale pocket devices to huge projects like satellite and robotics. Some of the most popular sub-disciplines of Electrical engineering are:
Electronic engineering
Telecommunication engineering
Power engineering (deals with electricity)
Signal processing engineering
Control engineering
4. Electronics and Communication Engineering - chip
Electronics engineering, or electronic engineering, is an engineering discipline which utilizes non-linear and active electrical components (such as semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits) to design electronic circuits, devices, Microprocessors/Microcontrollers and systems including VHDL Modelling for Programmable logic devices and FPGAs. The discipline typically also designs passive electrical components, usually based on printed circuit boards.
The term "electronic engineering" denotes a broad engineering field that covers subfields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer electronics, embedded systems and power electronics. Electronics engineering deals with implementation of applications, principles and algorithms developed within many related fields, forexample solid-state physics, radio engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, systems engineering, computer engineering, instrumentation engineering, electric power control, robotics, and many others.
5. Computer Engineering - computer, mobile hardware & software
Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering (or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual microcontrollers, microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselveswork, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.
The main technical areas of computer engineering are:
Cyber security
Networking
Embedding systems
Design automation
Software development and analysis
Hardware development
Statistics show that computer engineer graduates get the highest starting salaryamong engineers of various disciplines. Computer engineers have options to work in software or hardware or networking field or blending all of them. Computer engineers have high pay in Nepal too.
6. Geomatic Engineering (WRC, KU, PU)
It is a rapidly developing engineering discipline that focuses on spatial information (i.e. information that has a location). The location is the primary factor used to integrate a very wide range of data for spatial analysis and visualization.
7. Industrial Engineering (TC)
Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the optimization of complex processes or systems. Industrial engineers work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, man-hours, machine time, energy and other resources that do not generate value. According to the Institute of Industrial Engineers, they figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity
8. Biomedical Engineering (PU)
Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic). This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine: It combines the design andproblem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.
9. Agriculture Engineering (ERC)
Agricultural engineering incorporates many science disciplines and technology practices to the efficient production and processing of food, feed, fiber and fuels. It involves disciplines like mechanical engineering (agricultural machinery and automated machine systems), soil science (crop nutrient and fertilization, etc.), environmental sciences (drainage and irrigation), plant biology (seeding and plant growth management), animal science (farm animals and housing) and much more. [3]
Architecture.
Architecture engineering primarily deals withtask of building. It involves creating the maps or structural diagrams of buildings and artificial physical structures and integrating the various techniques and systems available in today’s advanced technology.
An architect takes into account the safety,economical viability, environmental and future aspects of any building project and makes the project sustainable and efficient.
As Architecture engineering is asubdiscipline of engineering, candidates must be sound in mathematics, physics, and computers. Also, they must possess a talent in creative design and arts as architecture is a blend of engineering and arts.
In Nepal, the scope of architecture engineering is rising in recent years. The authority to certify the design ofbuilding and other structure lies with architect in Nepal.
