Exploring Explosives Engineering and its Applications

In summary, there is a distinct division in the field of "explosives engineering" between those who specialize in building structures and determining where to place explosives, and those who work with the explosives themselves. It is likely that civil engineers who focus on buildings and structures would be the most suitable for the former. The keyword to search for in this area is "demolitions," combined with terms such as Civil or Engineering.

Is there any kind of "explosives engineering" such as those people who implode buildings and such? Or if not is it a combination of several types of engineering? Just a thought.

I can't say for sure. A quick search on this kind of area doesn't reveal much information. I would venture a guess that there would be a distinct division in this area between the people who know building structures and determine where to plant explosives and those that work with the explosives. From an engineer's standpoint, I would think that a civil engineer who concentrates on buildings and structures would be the most appropriate for the first.

"demolitons" is the word you want to Google - say, combined with Civil or Engineering.
 

1. What is engineering?

Engineering is the application of scientific principles and mathematical methods to design, develop, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes to solve real-world problems.

2. What are the different branches of engineering?

The main branches of engineering include mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, and computer engineering. There are also sub-disciplines such as aerospace, biomedical, environmental, and software engineering.

3. What skills are important for an engineer?

An engineer should have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as a good understanding of math, science, and technology. Good communication, teamwork, and project management skills are also important for success in the field of engineering.

4. What is the difference between an engineer and a scientist?

While both engineers and scientists use their knowledge and skills to solve problems, engineers focus on practical applications and creating solutions that can be implemented in the real world. Scientists, on the other hand, focus on discovering new knowledge and understanding natural phenomena.

5. What is the engineering design process?

The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers use to create solutions to problems. These steps include identifying the problem, researching and brainstorming potential solutions, selecting the best solution, creating a prototype, testing and evaluating the prototype, and making any necessary improvements for the final product.
