1. Industrial & Engineering Systems Foundations What is Engineering?

2. Engineering is using the knowledge of mathematics, science, experience, and practice to develop ways to solve problems beneficial to mankind.

3. What is an Engineer? Engineers turn ideas into useful products or systems.

4. What does an Engineer Do? An Engineer Solves Problems.

5. Engineering Design Process 1. Identify a the problem 2. Brainstorm, research & generate multiple solutions 3. Evaluate the alternative solutions 4. Build a model or prototype 5. Analyze the outcome 6. Report the findings 7. Analyze, redesign & retest

6. What is the Career Outlook For Engineering? More than 1.4 million Engineers work in the United States today. More and more new technologies are being developed that will require coordinated and creative applications. Today a large percentage of engineers are at or near retirement age. Engineers Starting Salaries: $40 - $50,000
