Engineering Fields

If “engineering” is defined as “the use of science and math to design and make everything that has ever been, or will ever be, made.” Then the number of different fields in engineering is limitless. Take anything for which one might be able to design and fabricate a better solution and stick the word “engineering” after it and you have coined a new field of engineering.
