  3. Introduction to Engineering • What Engineering is NOT • Is not dull • Not as a profession • Nor dull as a academic discipline • Not a profession for the so-called geeks only • Not a profession for Men alone • Not a profession to be practiced alone

  4. Introduction to Engineering • What is Engineering? • “[T]he 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. • By American Engineers’s Council for Professional Development (ECPD) • That was lo…………………ng!!

  5. Introduction to Engineering • Engineering is Passion • Engineering is Creativity • Engineering is a way to employ materials, ideas and tools to make world better or interesting • Sounds Cocky?
