Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying technical, scientific, and mathematical knowledge to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that safely realize a desired objective or invention.

The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the predecessor of ABET) 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.

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, Incorporated Engineer, or European 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.

What is hard engineering, what is soft engineering and what are the different types?
Q. Can you please answer the following question for my GCSE Geography coursework... What is hard engineering, what is soft engineering and what are the different types? Thanks

A. In civil engineering of shorelines, hard engineering is generally defined as controlled disruption of natural processes by using man-made structures. It is sometimes considered to be the use of concrete breakwalls [1] to limit the amount of coastal erosion on a being or a cliff-face where land is being absorbed by the sea or steel sheet piling to stabilize shorelines and achieve safety along the coastline to limit the amount of sand being transported by longshore drift. In civil engineering of shorelines, soft engineering is the use of ecological principles and practices to reduce erosion and achieve the stabilization and safety of shorelines and the area surrounding rivers, while enhancing habitat, improving aesthetics, and saving money.

Is becoming an engineer a wise option? What do you have to be good at in order to major in engineering?
Q. I'm a HS senior and I was wondering about engineering. Do you have to be good at physics? I'm better at the Calculus part but not really physics. What do you have to be good at in order to be an engineer and where do you work? At a plant?

A. if you are happy building, designing, prototyping, fixing, and maintaining machines, then you might enjoy being an engineer math is important because it gives you the tools to quantify the machine performance or machine design. math is important for modeling, and for assuring margins in the design are adequate to meet performance criteria before prototyping or after testing

What else can i do with a mechanical engineering degree besides working in the engineering field?
Q. I really hate working with these anti-social, back-stabbing, arragant engineers. I have been in the business for a little over four years and really grown to hate my current job, and the two prior. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts or knowledge about other careers a mechnical engineering degree can lead to? Thanks

A. Why don't you try a job as a medical device sales rep or a field service rep? In sales, you have a better chance of meeting some more social people (who may or may not be engineers).
