Applied sciences are academic and professional fields that are based on the application of science to real world problem solving. This includes broad areas such as engineering, earth sciences and health sciences that are oriented to tangible and practical solutions. Applied sciences are primarily contrasted with formal sciences such as mathematics and natural sciences such as physics that pursue fundamental principles and laws of nature without being constrained to solve any specific problems. The following are common examples of applied sciences.Aerospace Engineering | Agricultural Engineering | Agronomy | Bioinformatics | Biomechanics | Biomedical Engineering | Chemical Engineering | Civil Engineering | Climatology | Clinical Psychology | Coastal Engineering | Computer Engineering | Conservation Science | Control Engineering | Data Science | Dentistry | Electrical Engineering | Environmental Biology | Environmental Chemistry | Environmental Engineering | Environmental Geology | Environmental Physics | Environmental Science | Epidemiology | Food Science | Forensic Science | Forestry | Genetic Engineering | Geotechnical Engineering | Health Informatics | Horticulture | Industrial Engineering | Laboratory Medicine | Materials Engineering | Mechanical Engineering | Medical Imaging | Medicine | Meteorology | Nanotechnology | Nuclear Engineering | Nursing | Occupational Therapy | Ocean Engineering | Pathology | Pharmacology | Physical Therapy | Robotics | Seismology | Software Engineering | Structural Engineering |
EngineeringThe application of mathematics and science to design and practical problem solving. This typically involves planning, building, launching and operating structures and systems. Engineering is also involved in the development of materials, chemicals and biotechnology.Earth SciencesA group of scientific fields that study the Earth and its structures, minerals, atmosphere, oceans and biosphere. These are often pure natural sciences that also have applied aspects.
Health SciencesThe application of science to understanding, maintaining and improving human health.Forensic Sciences The systematic examination, documentation and evaluation of physical and digital evidence to uncover facts, resolve disputes and provide expert insights to investigations of events.Next: Sciences
