The main branches of engineering are civil, (1) building/ mechanical, (2) lamp/ electrical, and
electronic. Mechanical engineering is (3) concerned with/ deals with machinery of all kinds. This
branch of engineering includes (4) marine/ civil , automobile, (5) aeronautical/ bridge and heating
and ventilating. The first three are concerned with transport: (6) trains/ bus stations, cars, and planes.
The last (7) deals/ includes with air-conditioning, refrigeration, etc.
Electrical engineering deals with (8) electricity/ design from generation to use. Electrical
generating is concerned with (9) power/ train stations. Electrical installation deals (10) with/ in cables,
switchgear, and connecting up electrical equipment.
Two branches of engineering include both (11) mining/ civil, and (12) medical/electrical
installation. These are mining and (14) medical/ electronic. The former deals with mines and mining
equipment and the latter with hospital (15) marine/ equipment of all kinds.

Food processing: Mechanical engineers design, develop and make the machines and the processing
equipment for harvesting, preparing and preserving the foods and drinks that fill the supermarkets.

Medical engineering: Body scanners, X-ray machines, life-support systems and other high-tech
equipment result from mechanical and electrical engineers combining with medical experts to convert
ideas into life-saving and preserving products.

Building services: Electrical engineers provide all the services we need in our homes and places of
work, including lighting, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, refrigeration and lifts.

Energy and power: Electrical engineers are concerned with the production and distribution of
electricity to homes, offices, industry, hospitals, colleges and schools, and the installation and
maintenance of the equipment involved in these processes.
