What is it? What do engineers do? Engineering What is it? What do engineers do?

What is Engineering? Look around the room, look for something that has NOT been engineered in some way……. SO, what is engineering? Can anyone tell me what engineers do?

Engineering is… What is Engineering? The process of solving problems and designing the human made world. “Engineering is the application of math and science to create something of value from our natural resources.” Different from Science – “study of the natural world” but they cannot be neatly separated.

Who are Engineers Person with Ingenuity, Creativity, Vision, and a desire to improve lives. Society calls upon engineers to not only envision what the world will look like tomorrow, but more importantly to make tomorrow happen. They are anyone and everyone!

What is the difference between Scientists and Engineers? Scientists seek to explain how things work through discovery, to help us understand and describe our world. Use the Scientific Method Engineers use this information to create objects and devices that help humans and society. Use the Engineering Design process Both are needed to develop and advance society.

Types of Engineering There are many, many types of engineering! http://www.nacme.org/types-of-engineering

Engineering Engineers work in teams because they know that two heads are better than one and that we are smarter together! So… As you start working remember that your best design will only be accomplished if you all work together and consider everyone’s ideas.
