The main Branches of Engineering are categorized:
Aerospace Engineering: Aerospace engineers design, develop, test, and product aircraft, spacecraft, aerospace equipment, satellites and missiles.
Chemical Engineering: Chemical engineer translate raw materials into usable commodities. They apply the principle of chemistry consider solving problem in production or using of chemical and biochemical. Chemical engineers apply principles of physics, mathematics, and mechanical and electrical engineering chemistry.
Civil Engineering: Civil Engineers design and construct roads, buildings, airports, bridges, water supply and sewage system. They must consider many factors in the design process, from the construction costs and expected living conditions and potential environmental hazards such as earthquakes and hurricanes.
Electrical Engineering: Electrical engineers design, develop, test and control the manufacture of electrical equipment. This engineering Electrical engineering is the application of the laws of physics governing electricity, magnetism, and light to develop new technologies to help humankind. If it involves electricity, it involves electrical engineering.
Mechanical Engineering: Mechanical Engineers design, develop and test mechanical devices such as engines, power trains, kinematics chains and vibration isolation equipment. Mechanical engineers design tools that other engineers need for their work.
The other types of engineering are:
Agricultural engineers: Design farm equipment, animal shelters, crop systems, and product processing systems.
computer engineers: Design, construct, and maintain electronic systems, but additional trainining in the areas of sortware design and hardware-sortware integration
Geological engineers: Solves earth related technical problems while at the same time protecting the environment.
Materials engineers: Study metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites to design materials for applications that may involve transportation, communication or power production.
Nuclear engineers: Work with nuclear reactors, fusion and radiation applications.
Industrial Engineering: Industrial engineers consider the most effective and efficient ways to use the basic factors of making a product on providing a service. Duty of industrial engineering is to provide productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and so this engineers applies the scientific management methods. Industrial engineering differs from the other engineering because that engineer manages whole system with other engineers in order to do duty. Moreover, unlike other engineering, human factor is important for industrial engineering. Consequently, industrial engineering must be in whole fields of industry to conduct people, machines, materials, information and energy.

MAX WEBER
Max Weber (1864-1920) was a German political economist and sociologist. He is one of the founders of modern sociology and public administration. Weber published The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1902), The Sociology of Religion (1920), Economy and Society (1922) and The Methodology of the Social Sciences (1949). In this essay, Weber considered rationalization in sociology of religion, economics, political science.
Weber’s two main contributions were:
-rationalization thesis_a grand meta-historical analysis of power of west in modern times
-Protestant Ethic thesis_ a non-Marxist genealogy of modern capitalism
These two theses helped start his reputation as one of the founding theorists of modernity. In addition, his avid interest and participation in politics led to a unique strand of political realism comparable to that of Machiavelli and Hobbes.

HENRY FORD
Henry Ford (1863-1947) began life as a farmer’s son and then become rich and famous. He is father of modern assembly lines used in mass production. He seek other industries and he found four principles which are interchangeable parts,continuous flow, division of labor, and reducing wasted effort.
Ford completed his first successful horseless carriage which is Qudricyle. He found Ford Motor Company and this company sold first reliable car.Then in 1908, Ford designed the Model T for the mass. It was light, fast and strong. Five years after, he had the important idea is the Assembly Line. This line enabled workers to consider doing one thing very well instead of to be responsible for a number of tasks.Henry Ford installed conveyor belts so that auto parts could be delivered right to the factory workers. The modern assembly line had been born, and with it the most cost effective and efficient means of producing products for mass consumption.

ENGINERING AS A PROFESSION
Engineering is a profession in which the natural sciences and mathematics is use of economic and benefit of people. Professional engineers have extensive theoretical knowledge due to their education and then they can apply the knowledge in practice so they have skilled based on engineering methods and technologies.

WHAT ENGINEERS DO
Engineers solve problems by using mathematics,science, and computers. Their work between a scientific discovery and its application. They control production in factories, determine the causes of breakdowns, and test manufactured products to maintain quality. Therefore, engineers must have a lot information and undersatanding of the science and technology. Engineers create and desing so they have ability of these. Engineers generally work in industry, goverment, and business. In addition, some of them move on law or medicine, a business career, or postgraduate studies. Most highly paid engineering consultants and all senior engineering researchers and professors have advanced degrees in engineering.

MY PREFERENCE
If I were one of these scientist, I would prefer to be Frank Bunker Gilbreth because Frank worked time and motion study and efficiency. This things are very important for improvement for industrial engineering. Thanks to Frank Gilbreth, workers can produce more product in less times so he provided to spend time efficiency. In addition, Frank Gilbreth considered human factor with helping wife Lillion. He did not see workers such as machine. Consequently, they studied to improve overall job performance and worker efficiency so they provided to benefit for humanity. I want to be like Gilbreth.
ORIGINS OF ENGINEERING AND BEGINING OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION
ORIGINS OF ENGINEERING AND BEGINING OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION
The term engineering derived from word engineer. Engine’er meaned operates an engine which came from “a constructor of military engines”. Older origin of the word “engine” derived from ingenium in Latin and ingenium means “innate quality, especially mental power, hence a clever invention.”
When human invented pulley,lever and wheel, the concept of engineering came into being. The first engineers were military engineers and the engineers concerned with road,briges and fortifications.
The first schools of engineering were founded in France in the middle of the 18th Century. France had establish military and polytechnic schools to teach engineering that produced Laplace, Lagrange, and Fourier.
The first school that offered engineering education in America was the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, beginning in 1802. The first school is the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute which give education of the civil engineering. By the end of 1800s, types of engineering programs existed at a number of universities nationally.
