Study Notes
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.
