1Engineering is the [blank_start]application[blank_end] of mathematics, empirical [blank_start]evidence[blank_end] and scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, innovate, [blank_start]design[blank_end], build, maintain, [blank_start]research[blank_end], and improve structures, machines, tools, systems, components, materials, and processes.
The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more [blank_start]specialized[blank_end] fields of engineering, each with a more specific [blank_start]emphasis[blank_end] on particular areas of applied science, technology and types of application.
The term [blank_start]Engineering[blank_end] is derived from the Latin [blank_start]ingenium[blank_end], meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise".
Engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised fundamental [blank_start]inventions[blank_end] such as the wedge, lever, wheel, and pulley. Each of these inventions is essentially consistent with the modern definition of engineering.
The term engineering deriving from the word engineer, which itself dates back to 1300, when an engine'er (literally, one who [blank_start]operates[blank_end] an engine) originally referred to "a constructor of military engines."[4] In this context, now obsolete, an "engine" referred to a military [blank_start]machine[blank_end], i.e., a mechanical contraption used in war (for example, a catapult). Notable examples of the obsolete usage which have survived to the present day are [blank_start]military[blank_end] engineering corps, e.g., the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The word "engine" itself is of even older origin, ultimately deriving from the Latin ingenium (c. 1250), meaning "innate quality, especially mental power, hence a clever invention."[5]
Later, as the design of civilian [blank_start]structures[blank_end] such as bridges and buildings matured as a technical discipline, the term civil engineering[3] entered the lexicon as a way to distinguish between those specializing in the construction of such non-military projects and those involved in the older [blank_start]discipline[blank_end] of military engineering.- Aapplication
