What is Engineering?

What is Engineering?

Engineering is using the knowledge of mathematics, science, experience, and practice to develop ways to solve problems beneficial to mankind.

What is an Engineer?

Engineers turn ideas into useful products or systems.

What does an Engineer Do?

An Engineer Solves Problems.

Engineering Design Process

1. Identify a the problem2. Brainstorm, research & generate multiple

solutions3. Evaluate the alternative solutions4. Build a model or prototype 5. Analyze the outcome6. Report the findings7. Analyze, redesign & retest

What is the Career OutlookFor Engineering?

More than 1.4 million Engineers work in the United States today. More and more new technologies are being developed that will require coordinated and creative applications.Today a large percentage of engineers are at or near retirement age.Engineers Starting Salaries: $40 - $50,000

Engineering Impact-Multidiscipline

Biomedical Engineering(Ensures better health and

looks at stresses on the body)

Mechanical Engineering(Determines optimum string setting and racquet design)

Industrial Engineering(Determines methods to mass produce racquets)

Chemical Engineering(Develops new materials

for strings and racquet in quantity)

Electrical and Computer Engineering

(Develops automatic systems for service faults)

Civil Engineering(Creates highway system to

travel to tournament)

Engineering Impact - Multidiscipline

Chemical Engineering(Develop methods to keep

food stable and fresh)

Mechanical Engineering(Design systems that take

fragile food items, like candy bars, place them in packaging,

and move them around a processing plant at high rates

of speed without damage)

Industrial Engineering(Produce large scale rather

than small batches in a test kitchen

Civil Engineering(Design and construct

the building that house candy making

equipment)

Electrical and Computer Engineering

(Develop smart control systems to monitor and

manage the production of candy bars)
