Need understanding of different engineering paths

Hey guys, curious junior here just wondering what are the different types of engineers? I mean I know there is civil, mechanical and electrical but I feel like there's so much more out there. Anyone got any insights on this?

Sure, there are definitely various types of engineering degrees that you can pursue apart from the commonly known fields such as civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. Here are few more:

1. Aerospace Engineering: Deals with designing and building aircraft and spacecraft. If you’ve always been fascinated by flight and space travel, this could be the field for you.

2. Chemical Engineering: Focuses on using chemical reactions to solve problems. They work to create new chemicals, materials and even medicines.

3. Software Engineering: Specializes in creating and maintaining software systems. Given the rise of tech companies, this is a field with a lot of potential.

4. Biomedical Engineering: Biomedical engineers combine engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to design and create equipment, devices, computer systems, and software used in healthcare.

5. Environmental Engineering: Works to improve the environment and create sustainable solutions to problems. If you’re interested in a green career, this could be a great fit.

6. Industrial Engineering: Specializes in optimizing complex systems or processes. They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.

7. Structural Engineering: Goes a bit more specific into civil engineering, focusing on designing structures that must withstand the pressures and forces of their environment (like buildings and bridges).

8. Automotive Engineering: A branch of vehicle engineering, incorporates elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software, and safety engineering as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems.

9. Petroleum Engineering: Involved in the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas.

This is by no means an exhaustive list but gives a broader understanding of the various engineering fields. Before you decide on any particular path, it's good to research more about what each field entails, and what kind of career prospects each one offers.
