ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING
Specialists who design buildings who apply scientific knowledge of building design. They closely examine HVAC systems, plumbing, lighting, fire protection, and energy usage in structures.
Coastal Engineering
Coastal Engineering
Involves looking at how natural events like waves, tides, storm surges, and tsunamis can effect manmade coastal structures. They deal with challenges posed by building near water.
STRUCTURAL Engineering
STRUCTURAL Engineering
These engineers need to calculate the strength of structure members. This includes beams and supports. They apply laws of physics to safely design structures.
Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering
These engineers use biology, chemistry, and math to help improve the quality of the environment. These solutions are mostly used for waste mangment, air/water pollution, and waste disposal.
Transportation Engineering
Transportation Engineering
Planning and designing of facilities that help provide efficient, safe, and economical travel for any means of transportation. This can apply to highways, railroads, and harbors.
Water Resources Engineering
Water Resources Engineering
