3. Engineering I • Greek Engineers: • Hellenistic Greeks were a mixture of Greek and Oriental people. • Archimedes and the science of hydrostatics was a result of Hellenistic Greek. • Roman Engineers: • Romans were also adaptive engineers; building off others ideas. • Most were civil engineers developing roads, bridges, etc. • Made significant advances in architecture and everyday machinery. • Kingdom of Anatolia Central Indirect Heating • Discovery of Cement! • Use of the waterwheel, trusses and the pendentive.

4. Engineering I • The Oriental Engineers: • Centered on religious activities. • Indian – Skills with iron works • Arabic – Skills with water clocks and waterwheels and the first practical windmill. • Chinese – Suspension and cable stayed bridges, canals and dams. • The European Engineers: • Middle Ages was the height of invention. • Advances in cathedrals..the flying buttress • 18th century advanced hydraulics, canal building. • Renaissance saw the advent of engineering schools and engineering became a defined discipline.

5. Discussion • Has your idea of the field of engineering changed now that we have discussed it? If yes, how?

6. What is Engineering to Engineering Students? • http://www.egfi-k12.org/whats-new/e-tube/-strong-what-does-engineering-mean-to-you-strong-

7. Careers in EngineeringREVIEW • ABET – The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. • Engineering defined as: • The profession which the knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to use, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. • Using materials and forces for the good of humankind.

8. Interesting Engineering!

9. Careers in Engineering • Discipline: A specific area practiced by an engineer. • They do overlap. • There are several sub-categories under each of the major headings. • Role: The jobs within the disciplines that are held by engineers. • Research, Inventor, Supervisor, Human Resources, Sales, Financial Management • Example: Degreed Mechanical Engineer that is the head of Sales for Ford Motor Corporation.
