The term engineering is derived from the word engineer, which itself dates back to 1325, when an engine'er (literally, one who operates an engine) originally referred to "a constructor of military engines." In this context, now obsolete, an "engine" referred to a military machine, i. e., a mechanical contraption used in war (for example, a catapult). Later, as the design of civilian structures such as bridges and buildings matured as a technical discipline, the term civil engineering entered the lexicon as a way to distinguish between those specializing in the construction of such non-military projects and those involved in the older discipline. As the prevalence of civil engineering outstripped engineering in a military context and the number of disciplines expanded, the original military meaning of the word "engineering" is now largely obsolete. In its place, the term "military engineering" has come to be used. so generally we can say that military ,categrized initially both as civil and mechanical engineering is the oldest among all the enginnering branches nowdays..
off course mechanical engineering is the best engineering branch ever because it is r cessation proof and it is standard branch no one can get easily this .....so .....
Locomotive Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is considered by some to be the broadest of engineering disciplines. Not only do many areas fall under mechanical engineering, it overlaps into other engineering disciplines, including Civil, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering
