Robotics
Robotics is the combination between mechanic devices,electronics apparel and software to build an machine whichcan perform certain tasks that can not be done by humans.
The following figure is a military robot used to respond tosituation where a bomb is detected. There is a wide field torobotics in the industry, medical and security applications.

Finite Element Analysis
Finite Element Analysis is a computational toolthat allow engineers to simulate the behavior ofany structure when this is deformed by someforce. This technique shows the amount ofdeformation and it helps the engineers toprevent the deformations and how this can affectthe users. The FEA software are becoming moreadvanced and allowing deeper analysis.

Safety Engineering
The Safety Engineer has the task to guaranteethe safest work environment for theemployees. This engineer has to be awareabout ergonomics, workplace safety andassure that the safety regulations are beingfollowed. They also have to identify possiblehazard situations and propose a solution.

Aerospace
This sub discipline is focused on the developingand production of aircrafts, both military andcommercial. This area also deals with spacecraftwhich are aircrafts that operate outside theatmosphere

Computer Aided Design
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is usefulto design mechanical devices usingsoftware that apply basics forms ofdrafting, lines and points, to create digitalsurfaces. Those software also can be usedto simulate kinematics, analysis anddrafting.
CAD is a good option to design a productwith lower cost and good quality

Some Headlines
“3D Printing in Space”
◦The possibility of sending a CAD file the astronauts in thespace and they be able to print their own tools or extrapieces , or even build a structure in space using printedtrusses would save millions of dollars.
“3D Printing Hits Home”
◦3D printers are becoming more accessible and is alreadypossible have a 3d printer at home to little projects, likeprinting a mug.

“3D Printing Houses”
◦In an early future it will be possible to print houses, and accordingwith the Dr. Berok Khoshnevis, who is the responsible for thisproject, print entire neighborhoods
“World's first 3D-printed car showcased at 2015 Detroit AutoShow”
◦The first 3D printed car was showed in the auto show and itopened a new possibilities in the automotive industry.
