Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Confusion

<p>just because something doesn’t have their own department within a faculty doesn’t mean it isn’t its own major.</p>

<p>my engineering faculty has the following departments</p>

<p>mechanical engineering
electrical and computer engineering
chemical and materials engineering
civil and environmental engineering</p>

<p>I think that mining and petroleum engineering are run by the civil/environmental department. Each field of engineering (civil, electrical, computer, materials, etc.) has their own degree.</p>

<p>materials, mining, computer, etc. engineering don’t have their own departments because they are so small. Instead they are regulated in conjunction with other, larger disciplines.</p>
