Mechanical Engineering

• ENERGY.
• Mechanical engineers are concerned about the
  mechanics of energy - how it is generated, stored
  and moved. 
• MANUFACTURING.
• Mechanical engineers develop the machines that
  process materials into products.
• DESIGN MECHANICS.
• Mechanical engineers are concerned with designing
  devices used by consumers and industry. 

4
Electrical and Electronics Engineering

• Electrical engineers generally deal with
  large-power applications, such as utility and
  industrial power systems.
• Electronics engineers deal with low-power systems
  such as computers and communications.

5
Computer Engineering and Computer Science

• Both are concerned with hardware and software.
• Computer engineering has a greater emphasis upon
  the organization and design of computers
  themselves.
• Computer science has an emphasis on computer use
  and applications.
