What is the importance of Engineering ?

1.  Engineering has become the saviour of humanity.  Any large investment of capital will always wisely consult an array of engineers to determine the most efficient designs.\n\n2.  Yes.  Consider hanging a light weight picture.  Do you tear down the wall and constuct a columm to the basement to support the load?  Or do you use a typical picture hanger?  You are essentially engineering when you make that choice.  To actually engineer that choice, you have do calculations to prove your intuition.\n\n3.  Engineering defines, mathematically, everyday life.  A typical way engineering applies in everyday life is cooking.  One has to calculate for the next meal the demand, the quantity and materials of food to meet said demand, the sanitary requirements, the required cooking tools, the heat transfer of the heating tool.  One has to know how to measure out the materials and the heat.  Should the project be a success, then a part of engineering is documenting the process for future use and record a recipe.\n\n4.  If you look around you, every structure, even the gutter, electronic device, communication infrastructure, power pole, house you live in, car you drive, battery you use is engineered.\n\nEngineering is applying math to everyday problems.  The way an engineer proves his recommendation is with mathematical calculations backed by laborotory tests.  The engineer will also have to consider the level of public safety necessary and determine, and, if prudent, apply a factor of safety to his assumptions and calcs.

Engineering uses a lot of mathematical procedures - and with some physics background too i would have thought with a short training period you would have been an ideal candidate.\n\nI am a maths graduate and my husband an engineering graduate and there are always takers for people with those kinds of qualifications. (beats BA 'leisure studies' dont you think?)

Mechanical engineering, the broadest of all Engineering disciplines deals with design and production of tools, machines and all other mechanical equipment to be used in industries. The industry offers a wide choice of options extending across many interdisciplinary interdependent specialties. Mechanical engineering is concerned with all types of machinery in industries and all aspects of their mechanism and functioning; the design, development, construction, production, installation, operation and maintenance; such as large steam and gas turbines, components of thermal power stations, internal combustion engines, jet engines, machine tools, air conditioning and heating machines, refrigerators etc to name a few. They not only design and create new products, but also develop materials for them and ways of making them

Basically, maintenance engineer has to keep the equipment in working condition, by recognizing the critical points, where a breakdown can occur, then to prescribe the procedure for fixing the critical condition and to look over overhauling of the equipment. It is very wide range of responsibilities, so You should first ask about the equipment You will be maintaining.

Completing my college degree is important to me because I came up from nothing. I did not have good influences in my life, I dropped out of high school and I was on the wrong path in life. Several years later, at an age that most people have already graduated college, I began taking classes. It was to prove to myself, my family, and my community that I was not another statistic. I ended realizing that I am smarter than I ever thought. I am now a sophomore with a 4.0 GPA pursuing my degree in Industrial Engineering and I hope to go on and get my M.B.A. \nAll of that in itself will be a major achievement to me, but I hope to own a Engineering firm someday and also play a major role in my community by helping troubled youth and others who might not otherwise go to college. Bottom line, it has saved my life.

Calculus is important because it is the branch of mathematics that allows you to examine more than one variable at once.  Time and speed or speed and position for instance.  It can also get more complicated as you add more variables.  Because you live in a world with many variables it is important to have a type of mathematics that deals with many variables.  \nThis is why it has applications in Business, Economics, Physics, Engineering and just about anything else you can think of.

geometry got its importance universally.in medical engg for \nthe study of the various instruments used their geometry is to be known.for eg:an optical fibre used in endoscopic surgeries must of very fine geometry,or else it cannot serve the purpose.\nstill many examples can be coated.

Nowhere. Engineering is quite hands on, and you have to do many projects. With nobody to check your work engineering has many dangerous applications in the real world. \n\nIf you want ME, go to a physical college.

Engineers see real world problems and come up with effective and cost-efficient solutions that would benefit society. I'm an engineer (or at least have a degree) and my friends and I used to come up with solutions for small problems that used to bug us right in the faculty! I never would have been able to do that before. Plus, you have the skills to do it yourself, instead of hiring and paying someone else to do it.

actually electronics and comm. engineering comes under one stream only.but taking aspect of industry a communication engineer works in the field of wireless,gsm and other technologies of communication.

I am a Chemical Engineer.\nIt is some chemistry and a lot of physics.\nYou are trained to design chemical plants.\nIt is a lot of work and demands and aptitude in math.

Sometmes when you see the actual application of mathematics things start to make more sense. Mathematics is the heart of engineering. If you like engineering and have love for it then you will then work hard to adore mathematics. ANd if you start to adore mathematics you are going to be a great engineer. \n\nAbout english ... read the news daily.....look up in dictionary if you don't understand. speak often.

I think what makes engineers good engineers is creativity and ingenuity. You don't have to be and expert in the empirical sense of engineering. What they have taught us in the University are the empirical aspects of our profession. I am not saying that what they have taught us is wrong. It's just that profession, much like in life, is all about common sense.\n\nMy advise to you is, go out there and enjoy. Forget about the science of engineering (you already have it in you) ...try to discover the art of it! \n\nYou would appreciate it more on the field, where good engineers are honored. Be practical and use a lot of sense. Be practical and straight forward in presenting solutions. Watch, observe, ask and listen! It's a continuous process of learning. Learn as much as you can and love the profession...\n\nGood Luck!

You should put this question in biology, not in engineering. \nGenetic engineers are biologists.

there are many uses for aerospace engineers

Structural engineering is the science and art of designing and  making, with economy and elegance, buildings, bridges, frameworks and other similar structures so that they can safely resist the forces to which they may be subjected.

All engineers receive a fairly broad technical education.  As a mechanical engineer I had to study advanced math, physics, electrical, chemical, aeronautical, industrial, civil and military engineering while specializing in things mechanical such as strength of materials and mechanism, etc.\n\nAn applications engineer applies his/her general and specialized knowledge and experience to solve the myriad technical problems involved in designing a specific product (or project) from very small to exceptionally large.  That often requires consultation with engineers with other specialized knowledge and experience; for the particular application at hand.  Whereas engineer is a broad topic, applications are likely narrow and focused on results.  Hope that helps a little.
