What major does engineering refer to?

Engineering refers to engineering disciplines, mainly including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, material engineering, computer science and technology, information and communication engineering and other majors.

These majors are based on applied science and oriented to engineering practice, aiming at cultivating senior engineering and technical talents with engineering practice ability and innovative spirit.

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest subjects in engineering, which mainly studies the knowledge of mechanical structure, mechanical kinematics, mechanical dynamics, mechanical design and so on. Electrical engineering mainly studies the knowledge of power system, electronic circuit, electromagnetic field and wave, automatic control and so on. Civil engineering mainly studies the knowledge of civil structure, soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering and architectural design. Chemical engineering mainly studies chemical reaction engineering, chemical process control and chemical process design. Material engineering mainly studies the structure, performance, processing and application of materials. Computer science and technology mainly study the knowledge of computer hardware, software, network and database. Information and communication engineering mainly studies communication principles, signal processing, network technology, information security and other knowledge.

In addition to the above majors, engineering also involves many interdisciplinary subjects, such as mechatronics, intelligent manufacturing, new energy and environmental engineering, biomedical engineering and so on. The emergence of these interdisciplinary subjects not only broadens the research field of engineering, but also provides more possibilities for the innovation of engineering technology.
