Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study,
experience and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize,
economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.
-- ABET Handbook, 1996
Engineers and Scientists
“The scientist explores what is. The engineer creates what has not been.”
-- Theadore Von Karmen
Engineers : SOLVE PROBLEMS INVENT ENSURE OUR SAFETY
A Definition of Technology
Technology comes from three Greek words with the same root: Tekhnetos: man-made Tekhne (noun): skill Tekhnasthai: to devise artificially.

All about EE
Electrical Engineering is only 100 years old Electrical engineering is a discipline that
integrates many other disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, computers, electronics, optics, electromagnetics communications, analysis of signal and images, remote sensing…….
Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering, the discipline that employs the largest number of engineers, covers everything related to electrical devices, systems, and the use of electricity. Electrical engineers work on power plants, computers, and other electrical devices. Electrical engineers are designing the dashboard computers that will monitor engine functions on automobiles of the future.
From American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) web site: http://www.asee.org/precollege/disciplines.cfm
Electrical systems have two main objectives:
To gather, store, process, transport, and present information
To distribute and convert energy between various forms

Why Pursue a Career in Engineering?
Involvement in many industries Can you think of an industry that does not involve
engineers??? Monetary benefits Job Security
4% Unemployment (highest ever) Definite need for engineers Passion and motivation
A career with growing potential
Examples of Specific Career Opportunities Design Engineer:
Use computer simulations and computer modeling to design high frequency circuits for digital cellular phones.
Research Engineer: Invent new optoelectronic devices to build optical computers.
Project Engineer: Lead a team of engineers from different engineering disciplines to
design, test, and manufacture an undersea optical amplifier. Test Engineer:
Write and implement the computer program to do automated testing of an electronic ignition system.
Application Engineer: Define and integrate existing equipment to solve customer problems.
System Engineer: Defines and develops a communications network.From Milwaukee School of Engineering: http://www.msoe.edu/eecs/ee/eeprofession3.shtml
