What is an Engineer?
someone who fixes your car or boiler?
someone who ‘does engineering’ ?
an ‘applied scientist’?
The Engineering Council says:
“engineering is the practice of creating and sustaining services, systems, devices, machines, structures, processes and products to improve the quality of life; getting things done more effectively and efficiently”Slide5
What is an Engineer?
Almost everything around you is there because of an engineer
If an engineer didn’t design it, then an engineer made it fit-for-purpose!
Engineers make things work
We are more interested in ‘how it works’ than ‘why is it so’
We exploit scientific knowledge
to achieve goalsWe make decisions based on incomplete information Slide6
Interpretation of limited, incorrect or contradictory information
Trials
Reverse Engineering and product improvement
Risk Assessment
Management
Measurement and analysis of system behaviour
Teaching
Market analysis
Changing the world!
Development and application of mathematical models
Technology Development
