Engineering Disciplines The disciplines of engineering can be divided into four main categories, chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. Each main discipline will provide you with a “taste” of the various skills and knowledge required to work in any field related to the discipline.

Easiest Engineering Majors

• Environmental Engineering. Environmental Engineers are focused on developing machines and structures that will have minimal harm on the environment.
• Industrial Engineering.
• Architectural Engineering.

You will use a lot more math as an engineer than as a pharmacist and you may also spend less time in school. Another thing to consider is that pharmacists generally have a higher salary right out of school than engineers but also a lot more student loans.

Originally Answered: Which branch of engineering has the most math? It’s undoubtedly ECE or Electronics and communication engineering. Linear Algebra: Matrix Algebra, Systems of linear equations, Eigen values and eigen vectors.

Engineering mathematics is the art of applying maths to complex real-world problems; combining mathematical theory, practical engineering and scientific computing to address today’s technological challenges.

All engineers take a few semesters of calculus, plus they often take other higher math classes like Ordinary Differential Equations or Linear Algebra. However, once they get into their career, there are many engineers that NEVER USE HIGHER MATH.

ANSWER (1) Biotechnology and Chemical engineering has less Math in it, but atleast you have to three semesters facing the math that will be basic and advance of class 12th board maths.

To work in most branches of engineering you need good math and science skills. Make sure to take and do well in as many high school classes in these subjects as possible. Chemistry, physics, biology, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus and calculus should certainly be part of your curriculum.

Civil engineering is not too math intensive. You will still have to take 3 calculus classes, plus linear algebra and differential equations. You can thank ABET for that. However, even your upper-division of engineering classes will only require some basic calculus and basic matrices.

IMO Software Engineering has the least or no Physics. Some curriculum adds Laplace Transform lessons and all that, but generally, software is not quite “real engineering”. Every engineering can be traced back to the core ones: Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, and Civil.

Mechanical

But engineers use the laws of physicist to make something practical dealing with all the complexities in real world. So effectively engineer are smarter than physicist. Physicists often do it by passion, engineers are more money-oriented. This may explain why the average IQ is higher for physicists than engineers.

Electrical Engineering is viewed as the most challenging of the core engineering fields. The reason for this is the heavy weight of advanced math students will need to apply in their electrical courses. In their last 2 years students will learn more about electrical design and power efficiency.

Engineering is hard for people who want to Physicists….. Physics is harder: more conceptual and mathematical. The average engineering workload though is definitely bigger (But that is if you want to finish in 7-8semesters).
