1. INTRODUCTION TO THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS

2. What is Engineering?
the art or science of making practical application of  the knowledge of pure sciences
the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people webster.com
the work of designing and creating large structures (such as roads and bridges) or new products or systems by using scientific methods

3. Who is an Engineer?
Engineers are people who design, construct, and maintain structures, materials and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost (en.wikipedia.org)
