� Biology- A natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology has many sub disciplines unified by five so-called axioms of modern biology.
� Bioprinting – The construction of a biological structure by computer-aided, automatic, layer-by-layer deposition, transfer, and patterning of small amounts of biological matter.

Brain science- The interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes. It examines what cognition is, what it does and how it works. It includes research on intelligence and behavior, especially focusing on how information is represented, processed, and transformed( in faculties such as perception, language, memory, reasoning, and emotion) within nervous systems( human or other animal) and machines( e. g. computers).
Bring Your Own Device( BYOD)- Also called bring your own technology( BYOT), bring your own phone( BYOP), and bring your own PC( BYOPC))- means the policy of permitting employees to bring personally owned mobile devices( laptops, tablets, and smart phones) to their workplace, and use those devices to access privileged company information and applications.
� Budgeting- A quantified financial plan for a forthcoming accounting period. �

Business Analytics( BA)- The skills, technologies, applications and practices for continuous iterative exploration and investigation of past business performance to gain insight and drive business planning. Business analytics focuses on developing new insights and understanding of business performance based on data and statistical methods.
Business enablement – A business practice and application development process to effectively analyze current business processes to enhance customer service and create a competitive advantage.
Business Modeling- Business Process Modeling( BPM)- In systems engineering is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise, so that the current process may be analyzed and improved. BPM is typically performed by business analysts and managers who are seeking to improve process efficiency and quality. The process improvements identified by BPM may or may not require information technology involvement, although that is a common driver for the need to model a business process, by creating a process master.

Cartography- The study and practice of making maps. Combining science, aesthetics, and technique, cartography builds on the premise that reality can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively
Chemical Engineering – The branch of engineering that applies to interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bond s.
Chemistry- A branch of physical science is the study of the composition, properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with the interactions between atoms( or groups of atoms) and various forms of energy
City planning- A technical and political process concerned with the control of the use of land and design of the urban environment, including transportation networks, to guide and ensure the orderly development of settlements and communities. It concerns itself with research and analysis, strategic thinking, architecture, urban design, public consultation, policy recommendations, implementation and management.
Civil engineering( right of way) – A professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, geophysics, geodesy, control engineering, structural engineering, biomechanics, nanotechnology, transportation engineering, earth science, atmospheric sciences, forensic engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
Cloud networking- The use of computing resources( hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network( typically the Internet). The name comes from the common use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user ' s data, software and computation.
Cloud storage- A model of networked online storage where data is stored in virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by third parties.
Complex adaptive systems – as a multi-agent system with seven basic elements in which a major part of the environment of any given adaptive agent consists of other adaptive agents, so that a portion of any agent’ s efforts at adaptation is spent adapting to other adaptive agents. Monostori, L.( 2006). Design of complex adaptive systems: Introduction. Advanced Engineering Informatics, 20( 3), 223-225.
