Check out the different fields of engineering Aeronautical Biomedical Mechanical Chemical Civil Sustainability Design Electrical and Electronics Systems Biomechanical Photonics Computer software Computer hardware Nuclear Mineral Agricultural Agricultural engineers apply engineering technology and biological science to agriculture, and design agricultural machinery and equipment. Some specialties include: Power systems and machinery design,Structures and the environment,Food and bioprocess engineering. Mineral engineers include mining, metallurgical and petroleum engineers, who are focused on extracting minerals from the ground and converting them to pure forms. Nuclear engineers research and develop the processes, instruments and systems needed to derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. Photonics is the science of generating, controlling, and detecting photons especially in the visible light spectrum. Photonics engineers use this science to understand and make use of the emission, transmission, amplification, detection, modulation, and switching of light. Photonics as a field really began in 1960 with the invention of the laser, and followed in the 1970s with the development of optical fibers as a medium for transmitting information using light beams. These inventions provided the infrastructure for the Internet.
