Engineering is the innovative art of combining math and science to design, develop structures, processes and materials to solve problems. It is a broad field the entails several sub-disciplines. These disciplines focus on specific breadths of concentration and scopes of technology. These diverse areas relate to various branches of engineering. As, technology advances so do new fields of engineering. New engineering branches are achieving prominence and overlap with the main categories of engineering. As sub fields grow so do the requirements of education and licensing. A bachelor’s degree in an accredited engineering program is the basic requirement for potential engineers. Many states require testing of the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and Professional Engineering Exam to gain license.

According to the National Science Foundation civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering are the largest growing fields in engineering. There are more than 25 areas of engineering and technology. According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics biomedical, civil, and environmental engineering will grow faster than average. Not one branch of engineering functions on its by itself. Many fields of engineering are intertwined in training and in process.
