Structural engineers are concerned with the conception, analysis, design and construction of components or assemblies to resist loads arising from internal and external forces.

Geotechnical engineering is the study of the behavior of soils under the influence of loading forces and soil-water interactions.

Transportation has always played an essential role in the development of society, originally with regard to trade routes and harbours, but more recently with regard to land- and air-based systems as well.

Environmental engineering technology is the application of engineering principles and interdisciplinary environmental sciences to address challenges associated with human impacts on the environment. This field characterizes the dynamic relationship between human activity and the environment to determine strategies to minimize negative impacts

Water resources engineering is the quantitative study of the hydrologic cycle -- the distribution and circulation of water linking the earth's atmosphere, land and oceans.
