engineering, profession devoted to designing, constructing, and operating the structures, machines, and other devices of industry and everyday life.Types of Engineering
The primary types of engineering are chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical.
Chemical engineering deals with the design, construction, and operation of plants and machinery for making such products as acids, dyes, drugs, plastics, and synthetic rubber by adapting the chemical reactions discovered by the laboratory chemist to large-scale production. The chemical engineer must be familiar with both chemistry and mechanical engineering.
Civil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (e.g., railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).
Electrical engineering encompasses all aspects of electricity from power engineering, the development of the devices for the generation and transmission of electrical power, to electronics. Electronics is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with devices that use electricity for control of processes. Subspecialties of electronics include computer engineering, microwave engineering, communications, and digital signal processing. It is the engineering specialty that has grown the most in recent decades. (http://www.reference.com/browse/columbia/engineer)
Geometry An Archetypal Form of Communication
It has been argued that math is the language of GOD (Grand Organizing Designer). Geometry is the picture of this language and its archetypal form cummunicates even when one is unconscious of the communication. From the geometry of sound to that of the living organism, there is a symetry of meaning and it vibrates all matter.
