Engineering is the
discipline, art, skill and profession of acquiring and applying
scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in
order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems,
materials and processes that safely realize improvements to the lives of
people.
The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the
predecessor of ABET) has defined "engineering" as: the 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, Ingenieur or
European Engineer. The broad discipline of engineering encompasses a
range of more specialized sub disciplines, each with a more specific
emphasis on certain fields of application and particular areas of
technology.
Engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised
fundamental inventions such as the pulley, lever, and wheel. Each of
these inventions is consistent with the modern definition of
engineering, exploiting basic mechanical principles to develop useful
tools and objects.
