Definition of Engineering
•The application of scientific and mathematical principles to design or manufacture the operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems
•From Latin words meaning contrive (invent or devise) and ability

Engineering
•An artistic approach to science•Engineers find problems and solve
them•We make the world a better place and
find ways to make people’s lives safer and easier
•Scientific Method

Engineering
•Technical Skills •Knowledge of Resources &
References – aware of most current and innovative guidelines
•Communication Skills – just as important as technical skills

Engineering
•Adaptability•Willingness to Learn•Ability to work with people – lead
and follow•Professionalism & Licensure

Benefits of Engineering License
•Job Opportunities – Many engineering jobs require P.E. status.
•Professionalism – Registration by a majority of engineers is essential if you are to enjoy the benefits of established professions (think doctors and lawyers).
•It's the Law – This is probably the most important reason. Tennessee State law reserves use of the word "engineer" for licensed professional engineers.

How to Get There
•Learn everything you can while in school and go to a college that offers engineering program
•Get as much experience as you can – summer intern, co-op
•Take and pass FE & PE exams•Make the most of your
education & license •Enjoy it!
