Robotics- the Hardest Field in Engineering

In my opinion it would have to be amongst the hardest fields in engineering simply because it requires the perfect integration of software engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, control engineering and systems design engineering. (ie mechatronics)

Add chemical engineering into that list and you would be making the argument for virtually any industrial chemical plant.

This. +1 :)

 

Most people only see a bunch of pipes, and don't know the complex system behind it.

 

Hundreds, or even thousands of streams with different chemicals at different pressures and temperatures. All controlled by valves, compressors, pumps, heaters and coolers, which in turn must be integrated and controlled by actuators which are connected to computers. All integrated into a complex system of logistics that brings in raw materials and removes products from the site.
