| Engineering is the discipline and profession of applying
scientific knowledge and utilizing natural laws and physical
resources in order to design and implement materials, structures,
machines, devices, systems, and processes that realize a desired
objective and meet specified criteria. The American Engineers’
Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the predecessor
of ABET[1]) has defined engineering as follows:
“[T]he 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 and safety to life and property.”[2][3][4]
One who practices engineering is called an engineer, and
those licensed to do so may have more formal designations
such as Professional Engineer, Chartered Engineer, or Incorporated
Engineer. The broad discipline of engineering encompasses
a range of more specialized subdisciplines, each with a
more specific emphasis on certain fields of application
and particular areas of technology.
