Definitions and Summary

Aerospace Engineering involves the creation of machines, such as spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. This field is divided into two main branches: aeronautical and astronautical engineering. Aerospace engineers develop products for multiple purposes including space exploration and defense systems.

Chemical Engineering involves the manufacture of products through chemical processes. Chemical engineers apply their principle knowledge in chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics to solve problems regarding food, drug, and fuel products. They are involved in the refinement of petroleum, improvement of food processing techniques, and the mass production of pharmaceuticals.

This field of engineering deals with the designing, development, and manufacturing of various mechanical devices and tools such as electric generators, engines, turbines, as well as power-using machines such as air-conditioners.

Industrial Engineering focuses on improving the basic processes. Industrial engineers work in consulting services, communications, healthcare as well as in manufacturing industries. They are the bridge between operational performance and management goals.
