  3. What is Engineering? “Engineering is the art of organizing and directing people and controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.” -- Henry G Scott. 1907

  4. What is Engineering? • Engineering is the application of scientific and technical knowledge to solve human problems; • Engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable and optimal approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of an object or a system. • As with all modern scientific and technological efforts, computers and software play an increasingly important role. • Few systems today can be engineered without computers and software.

  5. What Does an Engineer Do? Engineers think and design solutions to challenging problems in everyday life. Engineers use imagination, judgment and reasoning to apply science, technology, mathematics, and practical experience.

  6. Characteristics of a Good Engineer Analytical thinking Reasoning skills Independent thinking Creative thinking Team spirit and collaborative work High standard in ethics Good communication skills …

  7. Code of Hammurabi Ancient Babylon 1790 BC. 229. If a builder has built a house for a man, and has not made his work sound, and the house he built has fallen, and caused the death of its owner, that builder shall be put to death. 230. If it is the owner's son that is killed, the builder's son shall be put to death. 231. If it is the slave of the owner that is killed, the builder shall give slave for slave to the owner of the house. 232. If he has caused the loss of goods, he shall render back whatever he has destroyed. Moreover, because he did not make sound the house he built, and it fell, at his own cost he shall rebuild the house that fell. 233. If a builder has built a house for a man, and has not keyed his work, and the wall has fallen, that builder shall make that wall firm at his own expense.

  18. Biomedical Engineer: 25,387 jobs in 10 years • Software Architect: 4,268,796 in 10 years • What does it mean? • 50 states: 25,387 / 50 = 508 • Assume each person holds the job for 30 years • New jobs available will be 508/ 30 = 17 • Arizona Universities graduate 100 students • The chance of finding a job is: 17% Biomedical Engineer • 50 states: 4,268,796 / 50 = 85375 • Assume each person holds the job for 30 years • New jobs available will be 85375 / 30 = 2845 • Even if Arizona Universities graduate 1000 students • there are 1845 positions cannot be filled. • What about the other CS jobs?
