What is Engineering?

Two Types of Definitions• Career Based• Functional

Career Description• Engineering is a CAREER and a

PROFESSION– Requires Special Education, Training, and

Experience For a Working Lifetime of Practice– Not Quite Analogous to Physicians & Attorneys

License NOT required to Practice in Most Cases Except for CIVIL Engineers



What is Engineering?Cont.1

Best “Professional” Analogy → Certified Public Accountant (CPA)

Licenses Granted by States • Must Meet Strict Educational, Practice, and

Testing Criteria to Earn the Professional Engineer (P.E.) Title

Currently 1.6M Engineers in the USA• About 20% Hold Professional Licenses

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm#training



P.E. Exclusives

Some Engineering Functions can NOT be done by UNlicensed Engineers• ALL Civil Engineering Designs MUST be

“Signed Off” or “Stamped” by a Registered, Professional Engineer



What is Engineering? Short Answer → Student Suggestions first

Technical Product Creation • The Output of ALL Engineering is

– The Solution to a Practical Problem– Fulfillment of a Practical Need

• Long Answer → Technology Creation Through the Application of the Quantitative (Number-Based) Disciplines– Mathematics– Sciences; e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Biology– Empiricism (Experiments and Tests)



Engineering Fields

Let’s Make a WhiteBoardList of the Types of Engineers• • • • • • •

What do Engineers Do?

Dozens of Branches of Engineering; The Major Disciplines include:

Civil Engineering (CE)• Archetypical Products =

Bridges, Buildings, Roadways, Water Systems

Chemical Engineering (ChemE)• Archetypical Products =

Oil & Gas Refineries,Plastic-Making Machinery

http://education.gtj.org.uk/en/item1/32360



What Do Engineers Do?Cont.1

Electrical/Electronic Engineering (EE)• Archetypical Products =

– Integrated Circuits (“computer chips”)– WireLess Comm (WiFi IEEE 802.11an)

Industrial/Manufact. Engineering (IE)• Archetypical Products = Efficient Factories

Materials Science & Engineering (MSE)• Archetypical Products = High Performance

Metals, Ceramics, Composites (graphite)



What Do Engineers Do?Cont.2

Computer Engineering (CompE)• Combines EE-Hardware with ComputerSci

Bio(Medical) Engineering• Archetypical Products =

– Biomaterials/Tissue, BiomedicalElectronics & Imaging, Biomechanical Devices

Mechanical Engineering (ME)• Archetypical Products =

– Heat & Fluid-Flow Distribution – Machinery (automobiles, pumps,

mach-tools)



Engineering vs. Science

Let’s Make a WhiteBoardList of the Differences• • • • • • •



Engineering vs. Science

Engineering is Closely Related to Science & Math, but it is NOT the SAME

Scientists seek to UNDERSTAND WHAT IS, while Engineers seek to CREATE THAT WHICH

NEVER WAS- Theodore von Kármán, CalTech

Professor, and the Father of Modern AeroSpace Engineering



Engineer Applied Scientist

Engineers take BASIC Scientific Discoveries and turn them into things that are USEFUL to people. In that role, Engineers are the agents of PROGRESS for Human SocietyProf. Jim Plummer, Dean of the Stanford School of Engineering



Engineer Applied Scientist

The First Laser Laser Sheet-Metal Cutting Machine

Theodore Harold Maiman was born in 1927 in Los Angeles, son of an electrical engineer. He studied engineering physics at Colorado University, while repairing electrical appliances to pay for college, and then obtained a Ph.D. in Physic s from Stanford in 1955. Theodore Maiman constructed this first laser in 1960 while working at Hughes Research Laboratories (T.H. Maiman, "Stimulated optical radiation in ruby lasers", Nature, 187, 493, 1960). There is a vertical chromium ion doped ruby rod in the center of a helical xenon flash tube. The ruby rod has mirrored ends. The xenon flash provides optical pumping of the chromium ions in the ruby rod. The output is a pulse of red laser light.

Engineering



What is COOL about Engineering?

Solving Challenging Problems Opportunity to DESIGN, BUILD, and

TEST Products that People Really Use• Engineering is a CREATIVE endeavor

– The Root of the Word “Engineer” is Ingenium (Think “Ingenious”) ; Not Engine

Chance to Learn New Things• Engineering is about Progress; an

Engineer’s Knowledge & Skills progress as well

What is COOL about Engineering?Cont.1

Working with People• That’s Right; Not all Engineers are “Nerds”• Complex Technology Must Be Made Useful

to the Non-Technical Person• Engineers, aside from applied Math/Sci,

manage Projects and Organizations– Some of the BEST Managers in Recent Times

have Been Engineers by TrainingAndrew Grove of INTEL → Ph.D. Chem EngJack Welch of GE → Ph.D. Chem EngJames Morgan of Applied Matls → BS Mech Eng




Publishing Technical Papers• Thousands of Engineering/Technical

Journals Publish The Results of Engineer’s Analyses, Designs, Experiments




Earning Patents• Earning A Patent Requires the

Advancement of a Practical Art; This is what Engineers do

USA Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 (Powers Granted to Congress):

Clause 8: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries




Engage in Professional Activities• Attend/Present-At Technical Conferences• Attend Trade-Shows• Society Membership (ASCE, IEEE, ASME)

See the World – Engineers often Travel• Special Knowledge/Skills Can often ONLY

be Transmitted In-Person– Promote/Explain Product to Customers– Install Product, Train Users– β-Site Product-Testing

Arc de Triomphe – Paris

The Bottom Line

There are VERY FEW Academic Disciplines Where One Can Move into the PRIVATE Business Sector with only a Baccalaureate (4yr) Degree• TWO Primary Categories

– Engineering – Business

• Difficult for Most Liberal Arts Disciplines• Somewhat Easier for the Sciences

WorkLoad When I was an

Engineering Mgr I expected Those Engineers Who Reported to Me to Work an AVERAGE of 45 hrs/wk

2004 National Survey of Mechanical Design Engrs



Job (dis)Satisfaction Satisfaction Factors

1. Challenging work assignments 2. Work environment and colleagues 3. Constantly changing technology 4. Good compensation 5. Good job security

DISsatifaction Factors1. Too much NonEngineering work 2. Lack of support from management 3. Uncertainty in job market 4. Poor compensation 5. No potential for advancement

2004 National Survey of Mechanical Design Engrs



Engineering is Fun (Really...☺) An overwhelming majority of survey takers,

91%, feel that engineering is FUN. Their reasons include the chance to tackle challenging problems and doing something different every day. • "I like solving problems, being the hero."• "I get paid to break things."• "So many challenges! New stuff to play with

around every corner."• "I love proving others wrong."• "I'm like a kid in a candy shop.“• “Engineering Rocks”
