Engineering is a broad (1) __________ which is often (2) __________ into several sub-disciplines. These disciplines concern different (3) __________ of engineering work. Although an engineer will be trained in a specific discipline, during an engineer's career the engineer may become multi-disciplined and work in several areas. Historically the main branches (or (4) __________ ) of Engineering are categorized as follows:

• (5) __________ engineering - The design and construction of public and private works - (6)__________ , railways, water supply, bridges and (7) __________ .
• (8) __________ engineering - a very broad area that may include the design and study of various electrical & electronic (9) __________ , such as electrical circuits, generators, motors, electromagnetic/electromechanical devices, electronic devices, electronic circuits, optical fibers, optoelectronic devices, computer systems, (10) __________ .
• (11) __________ engineering - The design of physical or mechanical systems, such as (12) __________ , powertrains, kinematic chains, vacuum technology, and vibration isolation equipment.

Also, nowadays there are some other small sub-branches such as: aerospace engineering, (13) __________ engineering, computer engineering, medical (14) __________ , biological engineering, art engineering and many others.
