Engineering Industries.

 The engineering sector is the largest of the industrial sectors in India. ... India export transport equipment, capital goods, other machinery/equipment, and light engineering products such as castings, forgings, and fasteners to various countries of the world.

The engineering sector is made up of a wide range of industries (including fabricated metal products, industrial machinery and equipment, electronics and other electrical equipment, transportation equipment, and instruments and related products).

Heavy engineering industry produces capital goods and consumer durables and its products can be put into the following categories—industrial machinery or capital goods, power generation equipment, transport equipment, rail equipment, aircraft building and ship building.

Key engineering industries include:

✔aeronautical (flight)

✔automotive (road vehicles)

✔built environment (buildings and infrastructure)

✔chemicals (manufacturing substances on a large scale)

✔defence.

✔electronics.

✔energy.

✔fast-moving consumer goods (manufacturing items such as snack foods and cleaning products)marine (ships)

✔materials and metals (developing new materials or improving existing ones)

✔pharmaceuticals

✔rail

✔telecoms utilities (covering water, sewerage, energy and telecoms).

Firstly, there's what is known as the big four – civil, electrical, mechanical and computer engineering. These are the four biggest disciplines within the industry, and cover a range of specific skill-sets.

Industrial engineering is important to both producers and end-users of a product. Industrial engineers improve processes and designs to make things more efficient. This is good for business as it saves time and money, raw resources, energy and manpower.

The most popular engineering degree is mechanical engineering. With almost 50,000 undergraduate degrees awarded annually, mechanical engineering is almost twice as popular as the second field on this list. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering branches.
