What is an engineer?
Engineers are individuals who combine knowledge of Science, Mathematics, and economics to solve technical problems that confront society. It is practical knowledge that engineers are masters of Science and Mathematics.
We describe engineering as “The art of doing. …Well with one dollar, which any bungler can with two…”
Although engineers must be very cost-conscious when they are making ordinary objects for consumer use. Thus, engineers can be viewed as problem solver who assemble the necessary resources to achieve clearly define technical objective. We can expand this to say engineers are ingenious problem solvers. In a sense, all humans are engineers. A child playing with building blocks who learns how to construct a taller structure is doing engineering. Although engineers use knowledge generated by the scientific method, they do not routinely use the method; that is the domain of scientists. The goal of scientists and engineers are different. Scientists are concerned with discovering what is, whereas engineers are concerned with designing what will be. To achieve our goals, engineers use the engineering method, which is, briefly, stated:
1.Identify and define the problem.
2.Assemble a design team.
3.Identify constraints and criteria for success.
4.Search for solutions.
5.Analyze each potential solution.
6.Choose the “best” solution.
7.Document the solution.
8.Communicate the solution to management.
9.Construct the solution.
10.Verify and evaluate the performance of the solution.
