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 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.
