    What is Engineering and Why is it Important?

    • Engineers are people who design and build machines, systems, or structures that solve specific problems.
    • There are different types of engineers, such as civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, computer, nuclear, and software engineers.
    • Engineers ask themselves three important questions when working: what is the problem, who has the problem, and why is it important to solve?
    • Civil engineers design and construct buildings, roads, and bridges, such as the Golden Gate Bridge.
    • Electrical engineers design electrical systems like circuits and computer chips, such as the microwave.
    • Mechanical engineers work in manufacturing industries, making mechanical things like tools, engines, and machines, such as cars.
    • Software engineers write programs to make computers and other products faster and able to do more things, such as Yahoo.
    • Engineers specialize in solving certain kinds of problems.
    • Engineering is problem-solving at its most basic level.
    • Over a hundred years ago, we didn't have jobs in fields like aerospace engineering, where people design and construct planes and spacecraft.
    • We will need engineers to make machines, tools, or everyday objects in the future, such as underwater cities.
    • Anyone who is naturally curious and wants to know how and why things work can become an engineer.
