B. Karimi Someone who uses Engineering Problem Solving techniques to Develop and Improve… Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi History of engineering Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Engineering: Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems, processes, and organizations. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application. Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi History: Engineering has existed since ancient times, when humans devised inventions such as the wedge, lever, wheel, and pulley, etc. wedge lever wheel pulley Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi The term engineering is derived from the word engineer, which itself dates back to the 14th century when an engineer (literally, one who builds or operates a siege engine) referred to “a constructor of military engines. A siege engine is a device that is designed to break or circumvent heavy castle doors, thick city walls, and other fortifications in siege warfare. Siege engine Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi The word “engine” itself is of even older origin, ultimately deriving from the Latin ingenium , meaning “innate quality, especially mental power, hence a clever invention.” Later, as the design of civilian structures, such as bridges and buildings, matured as a technical discipline, the term civil engineering entered the lexicon as a way to distinguish between those specializing in the construction of such non-military projects and those involved in the discipline of military engineering. Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Types of Engineers – Aerospace – Agricultural – Architectural – Automotive – Biological – Ceramic – Chemical – Civil – Computer Science – Electrical – Environmental – Geological – Marine – Mechanical – Materials – Mining – Nuclear – Ocean – Petroleum – Systems – Textile – Transportation Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Biological Engineering Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Chemical Engineering Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Civil Engineering Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Computer Science Engineering Software and Computer Programs Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Electrical Engineering Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Mechanical Engineering Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Benefits of Engineering -Challenging (You Don’t Get Bored) -Flexible Job Opportunities -Good Pay and Benefits -Lasting and Tangible Products – Help to humankind Dr. Mohammad R. B. Karimi Should I become an Engineer? – Do you enjoy science and math? -Do you have perseverance? -Are you creative? -Are you curious? -Do you wonder why things are the way they are? – Do you like to think of ways to improve things?
