    • What is an Engineer?Engineering is the
    profession in which knowledge of the
    mathematical and natural sciences gained
    by study, experience, and practice is applied
    with judgement to develop ways to utilize,
    economically, the materials and forces of
    nature for the benefit of mankind. [ABET]
    • Engineering turns the potential value of
    science into reality by translating scientific
    knowledge into tools, resources, energy,
    products, information, and labor to bring
    them into service to mankind. The Engineer
    must have the humanistic sense to
    understand the needs of society and the
    imagination to visualize what is possible.
