- 1What is Engineering?Engineering is the application of mathematics and scientific principles to better or improve life.
- 2What is an Engineer?An Engineer is a person who uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems .
- 3What do Engineers do?Research
Develop
Design
Supervise
Manage - 4Purpose of ResearchTo employ basic Scientific Principles in the discovery and application of new knowledge that will have commercial or economic value.
- 5What does it mean to develop?The actual construction, fabrication, assembly, layout, and testing of models for processes and procedures that will work.
- 6Purpose of DesigningTo anticipate all problems the user may create using the structure.
(Requires an understanding of engineering principles, mathematics, and the capabilities of the structure.) - 7What does it mean to Supervise?Take the designers drawings and watch the assembly of the object as it was conceived.
- 8What does it mean to manage?Leaders us the capabilities of the company to the best advantage to produce a desirable product in a competitive economy.
