Engineering & Design

• Engineering is...

the creative application of scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, processes, and systems to solve real-world problems and improve human lives.

• Engineers...

work with technologies, materials, and energy systems, using their skills to create everything from roads and bridges to computers, vehicles, and medical devices.  

• Design is...

a broad and dynamic concept that encompasses various fields like product design, architecture, software, and even strategy, and it involves understanding users, iterating on ideas, and making things work well.

• Designers...

plan, conceptualize, and create something new to solve a problem, meet a need, or achieve a goal, resulting in a functional, aesthetically pleasing, and user-centered solution.

• Engineering Design is...

the systematic, creative, and iterative process of using mathematical, scientific, and technical principles to identify problems, generate solutions, and develop detailed plans, specifications, and models for products, systems, or processes that meet specific needs while considering constraints like cost, safety, and practicality. This problem-solving approach involves phases such as defining the problem, brainstorming solutions, creating and testing prototypes, and refining designs based on feedback and evaluation.
