Khilawy, Egypt AddedFriday, July 31, 2015 at 1:44 AM Differences between engineering branches so i was just wondering if there is a linkage between communication and information engineering and software engineering, also the difference between mechanical design engineering and mechanical engineering, also the difference between electric energy engineering and electric engineering, I really need answers. Thanks in advance!

It seems like you already know more than most about some of the different types of engineering careers. It's hard to tell you more about these as they are still really broad. The type of work they each do will still vary a lot based on the industry and company they work in but here goes for a general answer. Software engineering is very much about programming while information engineering might be more about data management and communication engineering could be more about telecomms etc. Electric energy engineering will mean that its about power systems and electricity transportation while electronic engineering is more about circuit boards and small components. Mechanical engineering is a VERY broad term so focusing on design could use one particular part of those skills whereas you could choose to build things or maintain things. I hope that helps!
