" Q: What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?

A: Mechanical Engineers Build Weapons, Civil Engineers Build Targets."

 

 Movies, music, and books can be divided into different genres. Similarly, engineering can be divided into different disciplines. There are over 200 fields of engineering! The largest fields are Civil, Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical, and Industrial engineering by number of full time employees. Explore this list of Wikipedia articles on different types of engineering, some of which you have heard of, and some of which might be totally foreign to you.
