Engineering Sections

The National Academy of Engineering is organized in twelve sections representing broad engineering categories; the names and scopes of these sections are below. Members are required to select a primary section affiliation, and may also choose a secondary affiliation.

Section 01 - Aerospace

Engineering, development, and system integration of aeronautical, astronautical, and space systems.
Section 02 - Bioengineering

Engineering applied to biological or medical systems.
Section 03 - Chemical

Engineering of chemical and biological systems from molecular to macroscopic scales to characterize and design materials, processes, and products with enhanced performance, sustainability and value to society.
Section 04 - Civil & Environmental Engineering

Engineering related to infrastructure systems, natural and built environments, and facilities that require environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, construction, water resources, coastal, or ocean engineering.
Section 05 - Computer Science & Engineering

Science and engineering of computers, computation, communication, and information, including its impact on other disciplines, society, and individuals.
Section 06 - Electric Power/Energy Systems

Engineering and applied sciences associated with the development and use of resources for the generation, storage, delivery, application and conversion of electric energy and power.
Section 07 - Electronics, Communication & Information Systems

Engineering applied to devices (electronic, photonic, magnetic and quantum); electronic materials and processing; applied physics; circuit theory; control systems; communication systems; signal processing systems; radiation, propagation and antennas.
Section 08 - Industrial, Manufacturing & Operational Systems

Development and use of engineering and analytical methods to describe, analyze, plan, design, manage, and integrate the operations of systems and enterprises that provide services or produce goods for society.
Section 09 - Materials

The production, processing, structure and property relationships, and life-cycle performance of materials of engineering significance.
Section 10 - Mechanical

Design, control, testing, optimization and manufacturing of mechanical, mechatronic, robotic and thermal/fluid devices and systems.
Section 11 - Earth Resources

Engineering applied to the sustainable development and use of planet Earth.
Section 12 - Special Fields & Interdisciplinary

Emergent and integrative disciplines offering solutions to inherently complex engineering problems not solved by single disciplines; including agricultural, military and ocean engineering, acoustics, atmospheric and hydrologic sciences, innovation in education and systems engineering and management.
