Engineering: For Other Uses, See

Engineering is the application of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items. It is a broad field that encompasses more specialized disciplines that apply mathematics and science. Some key branches of engineering include chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. The term engineering derives from the Latin words for "clever" and "to contrive".

The InSight lander with solar panels deployed in a cleanroom

The steam engine, the major driver in the Industrial Revolution, underscores the importance of engineering in
modern history. This beam engine is on display in the Technical University of Madrid.

Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other
items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings.[1] The discipline of engineering
encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific
emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application.
See glossary of engineering.
The term engineering is derived from the Latin ingenium, meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare,
meaning "to contrive, devise".[2]

Definition
The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the predecessor of ABET)
[3]
 has defined "engineering" as:
The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus,
or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or
operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific
operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life
and property.[4][5]
