  2. Engineering plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_plastic

    The currently most-consumed engineering plastic is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), used for e.g. car bumpers, dashboard trim and Lego bricks. Engineering plastics have gradually replaced traditional engineering materials such as metal, glass or ceramics in many applications. Besides equalling or surpassing them in strength, weight, and ...

  3. Traffic engineering (transportation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_engineering...

    Traffic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to achieve the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on roadways. It focuses mainly on research for safe and efficient traffic flow , such as road geometry, sidewalks and crosswalks , cycling infrastructure , traffic signs , road surface markings and ...

  4. Transportation engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_engineering

    The engineering of this roundabout in Bristol, England, attempts to make traffic flow free-moving. Transportation engineering or transport engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical ...

  5. Multi-function structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-function_structure

    With conventional structural materials, it has been difficult to achieve simultaneous improvement in multiple structural functions, but the increasing use of composite materials has been driven in part by the potential for such improvements. The multi-functions can vary from mechanical to electrical and thermal functions.

  6. Engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering

    The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the predecessor of ABET) [4] has defined "engineering" as: . The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to ...

  7. Underwater construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_construction

    Coastal engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with construction at or near the coast, and the development of the coast itself. Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering relating to the form and shape of structures, and the stability, strength, rigidity and response to external loads of built structures.

  8. Integrated computational materials engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_computational...

    A fundamental requirement to meet the ambitious ICME objective of designing materials for specific products resp. components is an integrative and interdisciplinary computational description of the history of the component starting from the sound initial condition of a homogeneous, isotropic and stress free melt resp. gas phase and continuing via subsequent processing steps and eventually ...

  9. Electrical engineering technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_Engineering...

    Electrical/Electronics engineering technology (EET) is an engineering technology field that implements and applies the principles of electrical engineering. [1] Like electrical engineering, EET deals with the "design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation or maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems."
