  10. 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)

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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)

  14. 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

  15. Mechanical Engineering Machinery, Production, Manufacturing Machines & Mechanism Manufacturing

  16. Mechanical Engineering Analysis & Design Compute Aided Analysis & Design Aerodynamic Design of Vehicles

  31. What Engineers Do―I • Research: Advance field • Development: Lab to market • Testing: Verify integrity, reliability, quality • Design: Develop specs for manufacturing, construction, etc. • Analysis: Use math models to aid in R&D • Systems: Integrate components to produce functioning product Manufacturing: Develop plants and process to make products • Construction: Build

  32. What Engineers Do―II • Facility/Plant Operation • Maintenance • Technical Support • Customer Support • Sales • Consulting • Management • Others

  33. 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
