2. Is Engineering for Me?

3. What is an Engineer? PROBLEM SOLVER

4. Engineers are problem solvers. → Use available technology to solve problems → Rely on creativity and academic skills → Use math, science, and computers It is very important to note that even though the tasks are very different, many of the methods used are common to all engineers.
