 Engineering

Engineering uses scientific,

technological, and mathematical
knowledge to solve practical
problems.
 Engineers Can Do Anything
• Invent – Develop a new product, system, or
process that has never existed before
• Innovate – Improve an existing technological
product, system, or method

Design Build
Analyze
Orchestrate
Create
Conceive
Improve Evaluate
 Engineers Work to Solve Many
Kinds of Problems
• An electrical engineer may design a GPS for
your vehicle.
• A pharmaceutical/chemical engineer may find a
cure for disease.
• A computer engineer may build a computer the
size of your watch.
• A mechanical engineer may create a robot to
discover water on a planet.
• An agricultural engineer may evaluate the
effects of global warming on food production.
Engineers make our lives better
 Discussion Questions
• What product or system would
make your life better?
• Is this an invention or an
innovation?
• What type(s) of engineer(s)
might work on this project?
