  1. Profiles In Engineering ELEC 106, Fall 2012Dr. McKinney

  2. Engineers and Scientists • Scientists seek technical answers to understand natural phenomenon • Engineers study technical problems with a practical application always in mind • For example • “Scientists study atomic structure to understand the nature of matter; engineers study atomic structure to make smaller and faster microchips”

  3. The Engineer and the Engineering Technologist • Main difference between the two is: • Engineers design and manufacture machines and systems, while engineering technologists have the technical know-how to use and install the machines properly • An example: • “The technologist identifies the equipment necessary to assemble a new CD player; the engineer designs said CD player”

  4. Profiles in Engineering • Combine into groups • Each group take one of the specified profiled engineers • Study the bio in the text • Present this person to the group • What do they do? • Where do they fit into the “cube”? • Do they seem to enjoy engineering? • Does their life seem to be in balance?

  5. Profiles in Engineering • Moyosola Ajaja • Raymond C. Barrera • Timothy Bruns • Bob Feldmann • Steven Fredrickson • Mark Allen Pashan • Shawn Williams

  6. Homework (due in one week) • Problem 2.9 (brief = 2-3 paragraphs) • Problem 2.27 • Problem 3.14 • Problem 3.15
