Society The term Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is used by several non-governmental organizations in several countries, to describe their activity based on engineering and oriented to international development work. All of these groups work to serve the needs of disadvantaged communities and people all over the world through engineering solutions. What-is-engineering? 18 November, 2018

Google On the other hand, Dean seemingly thinks clusters of 1,800 servers are pretty routine, if not exactly ho-hum. And the software company runs on top of that hardware, enabling a sub-half-second response to an ordinary Google search query that involves 700 to 1,000 servers, is another matter altogether. Google doesn't reveal exactly how many servers it has, but I'd estimate it's easily in the hundreds of thousands. It puts 40 servers in each rack, Dean said, and by one reckoning, Google has 36 data centers across the globe. With 150 racks per data center, that would mean Google has more than 200,000 servers, and I'd guess it's far beyond that and growing every day. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9955184-7.html http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_52/b4064048925836.htm What-is-engineering? 18 November, 2018

Engineering is about changing lives by building useful things. Engineers are concerned about scale. Engineers work in teams. Engineers must take the entire context of the problem. Engineers must look for efficient solutions. Engineers must look for sustainable solutions. Engineers have to find holistic solutions. What-is-engineering? 18 November, 2018
