What is Engineering?

"The engineer has been, and is, a maker of history""
- James Kip Finch

Engineering can best be described as science applied to a practical purpose. Engineers design new processes, operations, and machines, and improve the efficiency, operability and performance of manufacturing systems, physical structures, such as buildings or transportation systems, and electrical and electronic systems. Engineering is the foundation of the technology that improves our world.
