Well....
So one has to ask, what is engineering anyway? Some of the better answers:
- the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems
- the art and science by which the mechanical properties of matter are made useful to man in structures and machines
- To plan, manage, and put through by skillful acts or contrivance; maneuver
- The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems
- from Medieval Latin: ingenitor (contriver), ingenire (to contrive), from Latin: ingenium (ability)
