What is Engineering?
Engineering is a profession directed towards the
skilled application of a distinctive body of
knowledge based on mathematics, science and
technology, integrated with business and
management, which is acquired through management, which is acquired through
education and professional formation in a
particular engineering discipline.
Engineering is directed to developing, providing and maintaining infrastructure goods and
services for industry and the community.

What is Technology?What is Technology?
A substitute for Engineering?
Technology is the result of Advances in Engineering.
Current Technology is the set of available tried Current Technology is the set of available tried and tested solutions to functional problems.
To study technology is to study engineering history and processes.

Engineering: work which is;
Technically and intellectually challenging,
Touching all aspects of everyday life;
• air, sea, land transport
• the environment• the environment

• defence, communications, energy
• able to provide opportunities overseas ?
Engineering is everywhere
Engineering is everywhere
Engineering is everywhere
The most significant advances in medicine since world war 2
have been based entirely on engineering breakthroughs:
replacement joints to whole-body scanners; walking frames
to heart pacemakers; dialysis machines to artificial limbs
they are all designed, developed and built by engineers.
