Hello

I admit it. I am a sore newb on this subject and I really haven't taken the time to do the research. Now I know there's many types of engeneering out there, but I'd like to find out which one interests me the most. So could you please name the most know engeneering classes with a small, mby a sentence-long introduction?

Thanks

Taking the time to list every engineering discipline as well as summarizing them would take awhile, so I found a site that lists most, if not all, engineering disciplines. http://www.top-engineering-schools.com/types-of-engineering.html After going through the list you may find a few that interest you and then your questions can get more specific. Good luck =]
