EDUCATIONAL COUNSELLING

This branch specializes in the development of new technology for use in aviation, defence systems and space explorations. The development and research of commercial and military aircraft, missiles, space ships and related equipment are the field of work of an aeronautical engineer.

This involves design and production of agricultural machinery, planning, design and construction of farm buildings and associated equipment, irrigation, drainage, land resource planning and service engineering for farm machinery.

Automobile engineering deals with the design, development and maintenance of automobiles and related spare parts.

Ceramic engineering involves the production of ceramic products like glass, semi-conductors, engine parts, fibre-optic phone lines, tiles, electric power line insulators etc.

Chemical engineering combines the knowledge of chemistry and engineering for the production of chemicals and related products. This, branch pertains to work in pharmaceutical, food, textile, plant, fertilizer, cosmetic, detergent and oil refineries.

It involves the design and construction of computers, developing computer systems and software for different types of uses in a variety of settings.

Civil engineering involves various types of small and big construction activities including building roads, air ports, tunnels, bridges, water supply and sewage systems, etc.

It entails design, manufacture, installation and operation of electrical equipment, systems and machinery, telecommunication systems, radio, TVs and computers.

Industrial engineering studies the production resources of an industry - i.e , people, materials, information, fuel, energy, etc. and ensures effective utilisation of these in the production process. The industrial engineer interferes between the management and operations sectors in order to ascertain the proper use of available industrial resources.

Mining engineers find, extract and prepare metals and minerals for use by manufacturing industries. They design open-pit and underground mines, supervise the construction of mine shafts and tunnels in underground operations and devise methods for transporting minerals to processing plants.

Petroleum engineers explore for workable reservoirs containing oil or natural gas, the drilling for oil and work to achieve the maximum profitable recovery from the reservoir.

Textile engineering is involved in the design and development of systems to test and manufacture fibers and fiber products.
