==Automotive engineering==
[[Automotive engineering]] is the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, buses and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems.

==Aerospace engineering==

[[Aerospace engineering]] is the application of engineering principles to aerospace systems such as aircraft, spacecraft, and ground control systems.<ref>''Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering''. [[Wiley & Sons]]. October 2010. ISBN 978-0-470-75440-5.</ref> Formerly known as Aeronautical engineering, concerns the design, construction, and science of both air and space vehicles, primarily on the systems level. Further concerned with the science of force and physics that are particular only to performance in Earth's atmosphere and the expanse of space. 

===Aeronautics===
[[Aeronautics]] is the design and development of [[aircraft]] and [[air traffic control]] systems.

===Astronautics===
[[Astronautics]] is the design and development of spacecraft with an emphasis on spacecraft systems, the design of ground control systems for spacecraft, and the design of [[orbital mechanics]] for spacecraft missions.

==Rolling stock==
[[Rolling stock]] comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches, and wagons.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yaxham-light-railway.fsnet.co.uk/Rolling_Stock/rolling_stock.html |title=Yaxham Light Railway rolling stock page}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50208215?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=rolling-stock&first=1&max_to_show=10 |title=Definition of "rolling stock" from the Oxford English Dictionary accessed 5 February 2007 (ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

==Naval architecture==
[[Naval architecture]] also known as [[Naval engineering]] is an [[engineering]] discipline dealing with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures.<ref>[http://www.rina.org.uk/careers_in_naval_architecture.html RINA – Careers in Naval Architecture]</ref><ref>Biran, Adrian; (2003).
