Engineering Disciplines Foundations of Engineering and Technology Fall 2011

Engineering I Egyptian Engineers –Imhotep: Engineer to King Joser –Engineers to the Kushite Kings –Pyramids, Dams, and Canals Mesopotamian Engineers –First Canals built by the Sumerians of Southern Mesopotamia –Home and Wall construction –Assyrians and iron weaponry and the four wheeled war machine/wagons –Aqueducts and paved streets of King Engineer Sennacherib Greek Engineers –Borrowed concepts of construction from Assyrians and Mesopotamians –1 st Metal Structure is attributed to the Greeks. –Golden age engineer Archytas of Taras, pure scientist and engineer. –Mechanical Bird that flew by compressed air.

Engineering I Greek Engineers: –Hellenistic Greeks were a mixture of Greek and Oriental people. –Archimedes and the science of hydrostatics was a result of Hellenistic Greek. Roman Engineers: –Romans were also adaptive engineers; building off others ideas. –Most were civil engineers developing roads, bridges, etc. –Made significant advances in architecture and everyday machinery. –Kingdom of Anatolia Central Indirect Heating –Discovery of Cement! –Use of the waterwheel, trusses and the pendentive.

Engineering I The Oriental Engineers: –Centered on religious activities. –Indian – Skills with iron works –Arabic – Skills with water clocks and waterwheels and the first practical windmill. –Chinese – Suspension and cable stayed bridges, canals and dams. The European Engineers: –Middle Ages was the height of invention. –Advances in cathedrals..the flying buttress –18 th century advanced hydraulics, canal building. –Renaissance saw the advent of engineering schools and engineering became a defined discipline.

Careers in Engineering REVIEW ABET – The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Engineering defined as: –The profession which the knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to use, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. Using materials and forces for the good of humankind.

Interesting Engineering!

Careers in Engineering Discipline: A specific area practiced by an engineer. –They do overlap. –There are several sub-categories under each of the major headings. Role: The jobs within the disciplines that are held by engineers. –Research, Inventor, Supervisor, Human Resources, Sales, Financial Management –Example: Degreed Mechanical Engineer that is the head of Sales for Ford Motor Corporation.
