Civil Engineering:
Civil engineering is primarily concerned mainly with the planning and construction of different facilities (bridges, highways, buildings, dams, railroads, etc.)
Civil engineering in Islam was mainly concerned with irrigation and water supply. Four different types of irrigation were developed by Muslims, which are Basin irrigation, perennial irrigation, Terrace irrigation and Wadi irrigation
Computer Engineering: Computer engineering deals with the computers (digital gear). It covers the design, usage and theory of computer hardware (application) and software (information Processing techniques).
One of the famous Muslim computer engineer is, Lotfi Asker Zadeh, an Iranian scientist and the founder of fuzzy logic and

As through the economy and trades established by Muslims there was a transmission of different crops and farming methods from different regions outside the Islamic world.
Architectural Engineering:
Structural: concerned with building structure and disturbing the load transferred in the building.
Mechanical systems: control the temperature and climate inside the building, taking into consideration the air quality and humidity (HVAC)
Electrical and lighting systems: to design the circuits and paths of utilities and power inside the building envelop
Construction and management engineering: the responsibility of the engineer that the quality, cost and schedule meets the project plans
Muslims had a great influence on architecture and have many inventions in this field, for example: Arabesque: which is an application of repeated geometrical forms founding in decorating walls. Also the Minaret, which is a distinctive architectural feature of the Islamic civilization, more specifically, the mosque.
One of the most famous Muslim architects is Mimar Sinan, whom is Turkish. He is the head ottoman architect and also was a civil engineer. He was accountable for constructing more then 300 different buildings.
Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering:
There are three major
One well-known aniconic piece of Islamic architecture is titled Dome of the Rock, located on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem (p. 29). Mount Moriah is a site that is considered to have an intense religious background, thus making aniconism necessary for any artwork, including architecture. Dome of the Rock
Two buildings, the Hagia Sophia and the Great Mosque of Cordoba, can show us two separate peoples and their approach to constructing architecture that was devoted to their religions. However, while religion played a huge role, there are similarities as well between the two that show that the rulers who commissioned these buildings were interested in mimicking beauty and showing the world that their building was the most beautiful and perhaps the most elite of its time as well as proving their divinity as a ruler of a great nation.
The most beautiful building among these is the Mosque. The Mosque was built in early 1990's and is American built, almost entirely by local architects and local artists. There is a fountain in front of the Mosque and a second fountain inside the vestibule. These fountains have come from as far away as Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia and are merely for decoration though in older times fountains were used for washing before prayer.
In addition to the structure's architectural composition, elaborate Quranic inscriptions further elaborate this message of religious superiority. Carole Hillenbrand alludes to such:
The inclusion of the architectural notations were quite elaborate, offering the contributions to society due to engineering design brought about by the desire to have these beautiful places to celebrate God. They seemed to indicate that the Islamic Empire was the center of the scientific world at the time with all the noted scholars and scientists coming to join together to brainstorm. Much of it had to deal with documentation and the recording of events, but without proper counterpoint it is hard to say if it was in fact as critical as it appears.
HVII. INFLUENCE OF INDIA ON ISLAMIC THOUGHT: Indian mathematics grabbed the attention of places in the Dar al-Islam. Muslims found it attractive for both educational purposes and accounting. They adopted “Indian numerals,” which was later called the “Arab numerals,” since they learned it from the Arabian Muslims. Completely simplified bookkeeping.
This discipline i choose for my career field description was structural engineering with is a branch of civil engineering. Structural engineering focuses on the framework of structures and designing structures to withstand the stresses and pressures of their environment and remain safe, stable, and secure throughout their use. In other words, structural engineers make sure that buildings don't fall down and bridges don't collapse. Structural engineering is among the oldest types of engineering, dating back to the first instance of tree branches being lashed together with vines to make a shelter. Throughout history, people have been designing and building increasingly larger and more sophisticated structures, from small huts to the International Space Station.
By using the technology from ancient Egypt, people in the present day Middle East are able to make more land suitable for growing crops.
bright arabesque patterning that decorates the exterior of the building, not only catches the eye,
also built a saqia which is a wooden wheel equipped with pots to bring in water from the Nile River. So
During the Islamic civilization, they introduced the idea of libraries by using the mosques in which they worship to store books which was opened to the public. Also, the study of algebra was able to flourish during the Islamic civilization under the scholarship of the mathematician Al-Khwarizmi. The word algebra was gotten from the Arabic word Al-Jabr meaning “reunion of broken parts”, the invention of algebra help further mathematics has we know it today. The Islamic civilization also help to facilitate the development of modern medicine. Qasim al Zahrawi who is known as the father of modern medicine, invented many surgical tools used into today’s civilization.
Until now, I didn't realize how much Islam influenced art and practically kick-started science. I learned that the Abbasid caliphs established the House of Wisdom, a center of leaning and science. They gathered manuscripts in Greek and Sanskrit along with scholars who could understand and translate them from the areas that they conquered.
In module two, we learned about art and architecture associated with the Ancient Near East and the Islamic World. One of the most common art concepts in the Islamic world is the idea of Aniconism. Aniconism is art that does not contain any images of God, people, or animals. In Islamic culture aniconism is popular because the Quran strongly condemns idolatry which is the worship and or extreme admiration of idols. One of the more well-known examples of aniconic architecture is The Dome of The Rock, which is an Islamic shrine located in Jerusalem.
Jobs require many things, for example,Industrial engineering deals with the organization of materials, people, and equipment in the production process. Environmental engineering is a field that has and manages the public's demand for clean air and water and listens to their concerns over the damage being done to the earth and ecological systems from pollution. Architectural engineering is closely related to architecture. Whereas architecture emphasizes the aesthetics, design and function of the built
In Islamic history, no single person has influenced the culture and life choices more than the prophet Muhammad. The early unity and creation of the Muslim faith is primarily an action of Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim. Muhammadis considered the prophet of the the Muslim faith and responsible for establishing the religion.
