Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, maintain, and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.

It may encompass using insights to conceive, model and scale an appropriate solution to a problem or objective.

The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of technology and types of application.

The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions;
All as respects an intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property

One of the great attractions of engineering work is the huge variety of tasks and environments in which engineers find themselves working.
From designing programs at a computer terminal, to overseeing maintenance operations for major structures like aircraft, ships, heavy earth moving equipment, mobile cranes and offshore oil platforms there are many ways to be an engineer.

A great deal of engineering work is done with the aid of computers. This can range from design, testing, the control of systems, the direction of equipment and the analysis of the properties of materials.

Engineering applies a variety of factors to a situation in order to find a solution to an existing or potential problem. The ability to interpret mathematical equations

and understand scientific concepts are just some of the

skills that engineers use to develop a concept or product.

There are engineers in practically every field, from

biomedical and chemical to mechanical nuclear.

Engineers use problem solving skills combined with practical application in order to come up with inventions that present resolutions to everyday quandaries.

Engineers use the knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice, applied with judgment, to develop ways to economically utilize the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. Engineering involves a wide spectrum of activities extending from the conception, design, development and formulation of new systems and products through the implementation, production and operation of engineering systems.

Engineering technologists are graduates of bachelor-level programs in engineering technology. They apply engineering and scientific knowledge combined with technical skills to support engineering activities

Their areas of interest and education are typically application oriented, while being somewhat less theoretical and mathematically oriented than their engineering counterparts.

Engineers often work closely with engineering scientists in developing new technology via research project

They typically concentrate their activities on the applied design, using current engineering practice. Technologists play key roles on the engineering team; they are typically involved in product development, manufacturing, product assurance, sales, and program management.

1. Engineering Is The Ultimate Field For Challenge

And Creativity
2. Learn Skills You Can Apply Anywhere 3. Great Rewards And Opportunities

Engineers work on exciting projects and influence how our world changes and improves. The amazing structures, vehicles and discoveries in modern society have been influenced and created by engineers in some capacity.

If you are curious about how things work and have a keen mind for applying what you learn to solve real world problems, engineering is the perfect avenue for your talents.
Be prepared to dedicate years of learning and practice to master a field of engineering; Dont expect to build an A380 airbus or the next Burj Khalifa (currently the tallest building in the world) within a year of completing your degree.

The skills that you develop as an engineer are incredibly valuable and highly sought after. People will turn to you to help solve problems for them. The ability to provide practical solutions to problems is crucial and will give you great confidence when faced with any challenge or obstacle.

You will develop an understanding of the feasibility of a project from a financial and practical perspective.
You also learn how to manage your time effectively, work as a part of a team and develop into a true leader. These skills can be applied to any area of your life. For example, a significant number of the workers in key management positions (such as CEOs) of large, multinational companies are mechanical engineers.

As an engineer you will rank amongst the highest paid professions in the world, even as a graduate. Your unique, universal skill set will enable you to work in almost any country in the world (and beyond!). Not many careers offer this sort of opportunity to gain experience and explore new cultures and lifestyles. Engineers working in multinational companies will often travel overseas for conferences and to visit or inspect company facilities, adding variety to their daily routines. Ultimately, there is no perfect formula or criteria for determining your suitability to become an engineer. One of the first, and easiest, steps you can take to determine if you would enjoy engineering is to discover which industry or discipline you would like to work in. Once you have an idea of the field you would like to work in, find out which qualifications you need to obtain.

To engineer literally means to make things happen. Engineering is about the design and production of useful products and services. Engineering know-how converts scientific knowledge into technology and then technology into successful innovation. Many seemingly simple aspects of our daily lives have been conceptualized, designed and developed by an engineer. few reasons why you should consider a career in engineering. Engineers have diverse careers Engineers are in demand Engineers get to do cool stuff Engineers work everywhere

Engineers get to travel

Engineers work on interesting projects Engineers have a good work/life balance Engineers can earn good money Engineers have a great lifestyle
