    Study Notes

    Focus of Engineering Science

    • The primary focus of Engineering Science is on the application of scientific and mathematical principles to solve real-world problems.

    Manufacturing

    • Traditionally, Manufacturing refers to the process of making goods or products on a large scale using machinery and labor.
    • In the context of manufacturing, Materials refer to the substances or components used to produce goods or products.

    Alternative Terms

    • Based on the size/scale of items being produced, some alternative terms used are:
      • Micromanufacturing (for very small items)
      • Nanomanufacturing (for extremely small items)
      • Macro-manufacturing (for very large items)

    Large-Scale Production

    • The term traditionally used for making large-scale structures in large quantities is Mass Production.

    Engineering vs. Technology

    • The primary focus of Engineering is on the design, development, and implementation of solutions to practical problems.
    • The primary focus of Technology is on the application and use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.
    • The key difference between Engineering and Technology is that Engineering is more focused on the design and development of solutions, while Technology is more focused on the application of existing solutions.

    Study of Manufacturing

    • The study of Manufacturing includes the process of planning, organizing, and supervising the production of goods or products.
