== Engineering fields == A Bachelor of Engineering degree will usually be undertaken in one field of engineering, which is sometimes noted in the degree [[postnominals]], as in ''B.E.'', ''B.AE. (Aero)'', or ''B.Eng (Elec)''. Common fields for the Bachelor of Engineering degree include the following fields: * [[Aerospace Engineering]] * [[Agricultural Engineering]] * [[Architectural Engineering]] * [[Automotive Engineering]] * [[Biological Engineering]] β including [[Biochemical engineering|Biochemical]], [[Biomedical engineering|Biomedical]], Biosystems and [[Biomolecular engineering|Biomolecular]] * [[Chemical Engineering]] β deals with the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms * [[Clean Technology]] β use energy, water and raw materials and other inputs more efficiently and productively. Create less waste or toxicity and deliver equal or superior performance. * [[Computer Engineering]] * [[Computer Science and Engineering]] * [[Civil Engineering]] β a wide-ranging field, including [[building engineering]], civil engineering, construction engineering, industrial, [[manufacturing]], mechanical, materials and control engineering * [[Electrical and Computer Engineering]]/[[Electronic Engineering]] β very diverse field, including Computer Engineering, [[Telecommunications engineering|Communication/Communication systems engineering]], [[Information Technology]], Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, [[Microelectronic Engineering]], Microelectronics, [[Nanotechnology]], Mechatronics, Software Engineering, Systems, [[Wireless]] and [[Telecommunications]], [[Photovoltaic]] and [[Power Engineering]] * [[Control Engineering]] β a relatively new and more specialized [[Electrical Engineering#Subfields|subfield]] of Electrical Engineering that focuses on integrating Electrical Controls and their programming. * [[Engineering Management]] β the application of engineering principles to the planning and operational management of industrial and manufacturing operations * [[Environmental Engineering]] β includes fields such as Environmental, Geological, Geomatic, Mining, Marine and [[Ocean Engineering]] * [[Fire Protection Engineering]] β the application of science and engineering principles to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire and smoke. * [[Geological Engineering]] β a hybrid discipline that comprises elements of civil engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering and [[earth sciences]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mtu.edu/geo/undergraduate/geo-eng/|title=Geological EngineeringβBS|website=www.mtu.edu|access-date=2018-09-07|archive-date=2018-09-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180907032549/https://www.mtu.edu/geo/undergraduate/geo-eng/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=canadian masters degree |url=https://worldscholarshipcenter.com/canadian-masters-degree-scholarships/ |access-date=2022-11-23 |archive-date=2022-11-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221123104033/https://worldscholarshipcenter.com/canadian-masters-degree-scholarships/ |url-status=live }}</ref> * [[Geomatics Engineering]] β acquisition, modeling analysis and management of spatial data.
