20. So Engineers • Design products. • Design machinery to build and test these products. • Design Plants in which those products are made. • Design the systems that ensure the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process. • Design, plan and supervise the construction of buildings, highways, transit systems. • Develop and implement ways to extract, process and use raw materials such as petroleum and natural gas. • Harness the power of the sun, and wind to satisfy the nations power needs. PREP004 – Introduction to Applied Engineering , College of Engineering, UoH

21. Engineering Functions The focus of an engineer’s work typically falls into one or more of the following areas: • Research - explore, discover and apply new principles • Development - transform ideas or concepts into production processes • Design - link the generation of ideas and the production PREP004 – Introduction to Applied Engineering , College of Engineering, UoH

22. Engineering Functions • Production and testing - manufacture and assemble components or products • Sales - market engineering products • Operations - maintain equipment and facilities • Construction - prior to construction organizes bids, during construction supervises certain components of process PREP004 – Introduction to Applied Engineering , College of Engineering, UoH
