Re: Exhaustive list of engineering
It's a bit of fool's errand, because most engineering disciplines can be subdivided almost indefinitely. In computer design, for instance, the guys who design CPUs and the guys who design motherboards both usually have electrical engineering degrees, but when you're staffing a microcomputer company, you care about the differences between silicon engineers and the board engineers - and there are sub-specialties within silicon engineering that matter for the silicon guys and are a bit opaque to outsiders.[1]
Regardless of that, your list is missing marine engineering/naval architecture. And apparently the aerospace guys distinguish between the structural guys and the avionics guys, similar to the general split between mechanical and electrical engineers.
[1] Just like a computer company might have a bunch of programmers, that are divided up into firmware developers, OS/kernel developers, OS/driver developers, diagnostics developers, compiler developers, library developers, and application developers, most of whom could transfer to another sub-specialty but are most comfortable at their primary role. But if you're not a programmer, all those different specialties are just programming.
