| English | Spanish |
| agricultural engineering A discipline concerned with developing and improving the means for providing food and fiber for mankind's needs | ingeniería agrícola |
| bio- and medical engineering | biónica |
| biological engineering | ingeniería biológica |
| biological engineering The application of engineering principles and techniques to living organisms. It is largely concerned with the design of replacement body parts, such as limbs, heart valves, etc. | ingeniería biológica |
| chemical engineering | ingeniería química |
| chemical engineering The branch of engineering concerned with industrial manufacture of chemical products. It is a discipline in which the principles of mathematical, physical and natural sciences are used to solve problems in applied chemistry. Chemical engineers design, develop, and optimise processes and plants, operate them, manage personnel and capital, and conduct research necessary for new developments. Through their efforts, new petroleum products, plastics, agricultural chemicals, house-hold products, pharmaceuticals, electronic and advanced materials, photographic materials, chemical and biological compounds, various food and other products evolve | ingeniería química |
| civil engineering The planning, design, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures and ground facilities for industry, transportation, use and control of water or occupancy | ingeniería civil |
| civil engineering method | métodos de ingeniería civil |
| climatic engineering | ingeniería climática |
| electrical engineering | ingeniería eléctrica |
| electrical engineering Engineering that deals with practical applications of electricity; generally restricted to applications involving current flow through conductors, as in motors and generators | ingeniería eléctrica |
