    Trade Profession
    Science v/s Engineering
    • Science:
    – Investigation, understanding, and discovery of
    nature, its composition, and its behavior (i.e., “laws
    of nature”)
    – Why
    – Build (experiments, tools, devices, etc.) to learn
    • Engineering:
    – Manipulating the forces of nature to advance
    humanity
    – How
    – Learn to build (products and services useful for
    humans)
    What is Engineering―I
    • Engineering: Latin root, ingeniere, to design or to
    devise
    • Engineering is design under constraint
    ↓
    device, component, subsystem, system such as

    Airplane Heart Valve


    Engine Air Conditioner

    Skyscraper Microcontroller Prosthetics Bridge


    What is Engineering―II
    • Successful engineering design improves
    quality of life while working within
    technical, economic, business, societal,
    and ethical constraints.
    • Technology: Outcome of engineering
    Engineering Defined―I
    • Profession in which knowledge of math
    and natural sciences, gained by study,
    experience, and practice, is applied with
    judgment to develop ways to use,
    economically, the materials and forces of
    nature for the benefit of mankind.
    – Accreditation Board for Engineering and
    Technology (ABET)
    Engineering Defined―II
    • Profession
    • Math and natural sciences
    • Knowledge acquired by study, experience, and
    professional practice
    • Knowledge applied with judgment
    • Attention must be paid to constraints (economic,
    materials, forces of nature)
    • Benefit of mankind
    • Not based solely on trial, error, intuition

    Why Engineering in K-12
    • Real-world engineering applications and
    examples concretize complex math and
    science concepts
    • Students are engaged in experiential learning
    • Students’ creativity is challenged, developed,
    and enhanced
    • Students’ soft skills in communication and
    team-work are developed
    • Students are better equipped for college-level
    work and can become active participants in an
    increasingly technological society
