What is Engineering?
If someone (father, grandmother, aunt, friend, fellow student) asked you the question: “What is engineering?” How would you respond?
ENGR 1201 Introduction to Engineering
“Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of
[hu]mankind.” 2005 ABET Accreditation Yearbook
