WHAT AN ENGINEER DOES
Engineers plan, design, construct, and manage the use of natural and human resources. They design cars, spacecraft, and medical devices; they can build buildings and bridges; they solve environmental problems; they apply computer technology to a wide range of problems. Because engineers have a strong interest and ability in science, mathematics, and technology, they are team leaders who can take an idea from concept to reality. There are seven major functions that an engineer can pursue within all branches of engineering. These functions are: • ¬¬¬¬- Look for new principles and processes by using scientific and mathematical concepts, experimentation.
• Creatively use the results of research and intelligent application of new ideas to invent a working model of a new machine, chemical process, or computer chip. • Choose the methods and materials necessary to meet technical requirements and performance specifications when a new product is being designed. • Prepare the construction site, arrange the materials, and organize personnel and equipment. • Take care of plant layout, the selection of equipment with regard to the human and economic factors, and the choice of processes and tools as well as checking the flow of materials and components and performing testing and inspections. • Control manufacturing and processing plants and machines as well as determining procedures and supervising the workforce. • Analyze customer needs, solve economic problems, and deal in a variety of other areas depending on the type of organization involved. In addition to diversity of functions, engineering is performed in a wide variety of settings. Engineers work in the testing, production, and maintenance of new products. They oversee production assembly lines, determine why products break down, and administer tests to improve product quality.
