Engineering
Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised fundamental inventions such as the pulley, lever, and wheel. Each of these inventions is essentially consistent with the modern definition of engineering.
Branches of Engineering[edit | edit source]
Engineering is a broad discipline which is often broken down into several sub-disciplines. These disciplines concern themselves with differing areas of engineering work.
Civil Engineering[edit | edit source]
Civil Engineering involves the design and construction of buildings, bridges, and other large infrastructure projects.
Mechanical Engineering[edit | edit source]
Mechanical Engineering involves the design and construction of machines and mechanical systems.
Electrical Engineering[edit | edit source]
Electrical Engineering involves the design and study of electronics, power, and electrical systems.
Chemical Engineering[edit | edit source]
Chemical Engineering involves the application of chemical processes to produce useful materials and substances.
Education and Training[edit | edit source]
Becoming an engineer typically requires a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, though professional engineer's licensure along with practical work experience and a master's degree in engineering can lead to higher levels of responsibility and pay.
