Engineer

An engineer is a professional practitioner of the art, concerned with the application of scientific

knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions to technical problems. Engineers design

materials, imposing structures, machinery and equipment are within the limits of functionality,

safety and cost. [1] [2] The word engineering derives from the Latin root ingenium, meaning

"wisdom" [3].

Engineers are based in applied sciences and of scientists engaged in research and artists who create

excellent with a focus on aesthetics. [2] The work of engineers is the link between scientific

discoveries and applications that meet society's needs. [1]

Engineers develop new technical solutions. During the planning process, the performance

responsibility of the engineer include defining problems, conducting, and narrowing of the research,

analysis criteria, findings and analysis solutions and decisions. Much of the engineer's time is spent

on researching, tracking, application and transfer of information. [4]

Engineers must weigh different design choices on their merits and choose the solution best meets

the requirements. Their critical and unique responsibility is to understand, identify and interpret the

constraints on a design to achieve a successful outcome.

Engineers apply engineering analysis techniques in the examination, production or maintenance.

Analytical engineers can monitor the production in factories and elsewhere, determine the cause of

a process failure, and test output to maintain quality. They also appreciate the time and cost

required to complete projects. Supervisory engineers are responsible for major components or

entire projects. Engineering analysis involves the application of scientific principles and analytical

processes, the properties and state of the system, a device or system under study shows.

Engineering analysis is the separation of planning services in the mechanisms of the operation or

failure, analysis, or estimate each component of the operation or failure mechanism in isolation, and

again the combination of the components. You can analyze risk. [5] [6] [7] [8].

Many engineers use computers to produce and analyze designs, simulate and test how a machine,

structure, or runs to generate specifications for parts to monitor the quality of products and control

the efficiency of processes.

Specialization

Most engineers specialize. [1] Numerous specialties are recognized by professional societies, and

each of the major branches of engineering has numerous subdivisions. Civil engineering, for

example, includes structural and traffic engineering and materials engineering includes ceramic,

metallurgical, and polymer engineering. Engineers can specialize in one industry, such as cars or in a

kind of technology, such as turbines or semiconductor materials. [1]

Engineers have obligations to the public and their customers, employers and the profession. Many

technical societies have codes of conduct and codes of conduct for members and established inform

the general public. Each technical discipline and professional society maintains a code of ethics that

require members to defend themselves. Depending on their specializations, engineers can be

regulated, whistle blowing, product liability law by specific statute, and often the principles of

business ethics. [9] [10] [11]

Some graduates of engineering programs in North America may be recognized by the iron ring or

Engineer's Ring, a ring of iron or steel, which is worn on the little finger of the dominant hand. This

tradition began in 1925 in Canada with the ritual of the calling of an engineer, where the ring is a

symbol and reminder of the engineering commitment for the engineering profession. In 1972, the

practice of several colleges in the United States, including members of the Order was adopted by the

engineer.

Most engineering programs involve a concentration of study in an engineering specialty, along with

courses in mathematics and the physical and life sciences. Many programs and courses in

mechanical engineering. A design course, sometimes from a computer or laboratory class or both,

accompanied, is part of the curriculum of most programs. Often general courses not directly related

to technology, as in the social sciences or humanities, you are needed.

Graduate training is essential for engineering faculty positions and required some research and

development programs, but not for the majority of entry-level engineering jobs. Many experienced

engineers with degrees in engineering or business administration to learn new technologies and

expand their education. Many senior leaders in politics and business started their careers as

engineers.

Accreditation is the process to be evaluated in the engineering program from a remote location to

determine whether existing standards are met. The Washington Accord is an international

accreditation agreement for academic degree Engineering, recognition of equivalence in material

standards, the large number of national engineering bodies to. In the United States, post-secondary

degrees in engineering from the Accreditation Council for Engineering and Technology are

recognized. In much of Europe and the Commonwealth professional accreditation is by engineering

institutions, such as the Institution of Civil Engineers or the Institution of Mechanical Engineers from

the United Kingdom made available.

In many countries, engineering tasks, such as the design of bridges, power plants and chemical

plants, must be approved by a qualified engineer. The most common is a Professional Engineer or

Chartered Engineer, the status of professional licensing often with the use of post-nominal letters

marked titled, PE or P. Eng is common in North America, Eur Ing in Europe, while Ieng CEng and is in

the United CEng Kingdom and in many parts of the Commonwealth.

In the United States, is usually reached licensing by the combination of education, screening

(Fundamentals of Engineering examination), examination (written Professional Engineering) [12] and

engineering experience (usually in the range of 5 years). Each state tests and licenses Professional

Engineers. Currently, most states do not license by specific engineering discipline, but provide

general licensing and trust engineers professional judgment regarding their individual skills, this is

the preferred approach of the professional societies. Despite this, however, at least one of the

checks required by most states is actually focused on a specific discipline, select candidates for

admission usually the category of the exam, which is closest to their respective expertise.
