Online Associate Degree Programs in Engineering

Due to the rapid development of technology, many new fields become known and develop new industries such as computer engineering, Software Engineering, nanotechnology, tribology, molecular engineering, mechatronics, etc. These new specialty, sometimes in combination with traditional fields and form new branches such as Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics and Electrical and Computer Engineering. New or emerging areas of application will be generally defined as the time permutation or a subset of existing disciplines, there are gray areas that often, when this sub-field becomes large and / or prominent enough to warrant classification as a new "power." One of the key indicators is the emergence of such major universities as the beginning of the establishment of departments and programs in the new area.

For each of these areas there is considerable overlap, especially in the field of science in their disciplines such as physics, chemistry and mathematics.
