Why are mechanical and civil engineering considered evergreen branches?

I can talk about mechanical engineering as I am not sure about the civil branch. Mechanical engineering opens up a vast ocean of opportunities to anyone who opts for it. In mechanical, there are many sub branches which have many jobs to offer: Aerospace Mechatronics Marine Metallurgy Production/Industrial Automobile Manufacturing Mechanical engineers can work in these fields also: Biomedical Operation Transport Shipping Nanotechnology The main sub fields include: Thermofluids Solid mechanics Systems dynamics (Dynamics and controls) Heat transfer Energy systems Biomechanics Product design Material science Nanotechnology Alternative energy Computational fluid dynamics Manufacturing Robotics/Mechatronics Thermal Engineering-Gas turbine technology Structural Integrity-Fracture mechanics, Finite Element Analysis, etc. Fluid Power and turbomachinery Combustion and engines So, as you can see that options are in vast number, so are the jobs if you maintain a decent CGPA and have good fundamental knowledge.

Mechanical and civil engineering is believed to be the oldest branch of engineering. After independence country needed factory, skilled labor, dams, bridge which was possible by these two engineers. These branches are considered as evergreen as their demand never goes down because the work they do is useful for centuries. At the time of development, Indian government firstly think on these things. After 90s India want development in software and IT sector then demand of mechanical and civil slump. But never forget when apocalypse come only these two helps us. They work to design our basic need such as machine, cars, chips, spare parts, home for living, monuments for tours, dams, bridge which is always needed and never be ignored. Just think early man invented the wheel, and after that vehicles. Now we've reached to motor vehicles, SUV, super cars because of that invention. Titanic a ship which is an amazing creation by civil engineers 100 years back if you don't think about the sink. So the thing which mechanical engineer and civil engineer do is always demanding that's why they are called as "Evergreen Branch".

Mechanical and civil engineering are the branches of engineering that have existed ever since engineering has existed. In comparison the other branches of engineering are relatively new and came into existence much later as and when the need arose. So, in some ways, Mechanical and Civil can also be called "Traditional Engineering". The more important piece also is that other branches of engineering have seen large fluctuations in their demand from the industry. During last 10-15 years Computer Science saw high demand which now seems to be tapering off, likewise for other branches such as - Electronics, Electrical, Chemical, etc. Since mechanical and civil engineering see a consistent demand from industry (neither too high nor too low), they are starting to be termed as evergreen branches of engineering.

Mechanical Engineering and civil engineering are subconsciously the branches of engineering that have been with the humans since the beginning. The invention of the wheel was a breakthrough in ME. And with the primitives learning how to make homes and bridges, they were the first civil engineers. I think you got the point. Now talking in technical terms, mechanical engineering and civil engineering are branches that deal with the engineering of the basic needs of life. We have and always will use machines to ease off the loads on ourselves and the machines are dealt by mechanical engineers. Also, we always shall, no matter what happens will need to live and would be require to cover our head. Hence come civil engineers. For hunting you need tools and to cook you need head and hence mechanical engineering. New Branches like computer science are not basic needs of life and have developed in last decades but these evergreen branches date back to the beginning of humans. In simple words, these branches deal with the daily necessities of human life and hence are considered to be evergreen.
