2. Is it Mad Scientist or Mad Engineer?

4. Goals To explain in your own words what engineering is To describe basic differences and similarities between engineering and science

5. What is science? 1. a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences. 2. systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation. 3. any of the branches of natural or physical science.physical science From Dictionary.com

6. Who is a scientist? Chemist Biologist Earth scientist Geologist Geographer Physicist Others ???

7. Science Process

8. What is Engineering?

9. Engineering: It is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings jobs and homes to men. Then it elevates the standards of living and adds to the comforts of life. That is the Engineer’s high privilege.

10. The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance.

11. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors.

12. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judges like the lawyers.

13. He cannot, like the architects cover his failures with trees and vines.

14. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget.

15. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is dammed…

16. On the other hand, unlike the doctor his is not a life among the weak. Unlike the soldier, destruction is not his purpose. Unlike the lawyer, quarrels are not his daily bread. To the engineer falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life, comfort, and hope.

17. No doubt as years go by the people forget which engineer did it, even if they knew. Or some politician puts his name on it. Or they credit it to the promoter who used other people’s money…But the engineer himself looks back at the unending stream of goodness which flows from his successes with satisfactions that few professions may know. And the verdict of his fellow professionals is all the accolade he wants.

18. Who do we contribute this quote to?

20. Which involve engineering? Providing water Health & medicine Gadgets galore Fashion & beauty Creating cars Solving problems Food Built environment Sports

21. The World Without Engineers

28. How do you define Engineering?

29. Engineers make nouns and adjectives

30. Engineers are Inventors! Engineers use science and math to solve real world problems!

31. Engineering Disciplines Major Disciplines Other Disciplines Mechanical Electrical Chemical Civil Industrial Agricultural Automotive Aerospace Biomedical/Biomechanical Computer Environmental Materials Nuclear Robotics Safety

32. Civil Engineering Create solutions to cope with: air quality issues decaying cities, roadways and bridges clogged airports and highways polluted streams, rivers and lakes Water for a city or an industry Stable place to build Oldest engineering profession Design solutions to cope with many of our planet’s most serious problems.

33. Mechanical Engineering Concerned with design, manufacture & operation of a wide range of components, devices, or systems: microscopic parts (nanotechnology) to gigantic gears heating, ventilation, refrigeration manufacturing equipment (tanks, motors, pumps) laser technology biomedical applications automotive industry computer-aided design, automation, robotics Broadest of all the engineering disciplines in its range of activities

34. Chemical Engineering Applying chemistry to the solution of practical problems Gasoline Plastic Energy (natural gas, oil heating, coal) Adhesives Clothing Building Materials

35. Electrical Engineering Play a role in almost everything we interact with on a daily basis. They design smaller, cheaper, and better: cell phones computers power systems appliances robots Apply specialized skill to the design, manufacture, application, installation, and operation of electrical products and systems.

36. Industrial Engineering Design data processing systems Integrate activities of finance, engineering and management Develop systems for planning, cost analysis, production and quality of products Stresses design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, and equipment for the effective production of goods or services in all types of industries

37. Engineering periods in history Food-Producing Revolution (6000-3000 BC) Appearance of Urban Society (3000-2000 BC) Birth of Greek Science (600-300 BC) Revolution in Power (Middle Ages) Rise of Modern Science (17 th Century) Steam and Industrial Revolution (18 th Century) Electricity and the beginnings of applied science (19 th Century) Age of Automatic Control (20 th Century)  Engineering in History by Kirby, Withington, Darling, and Kilgour

38. Now let’s take a look at some real life engineers and what they’re working on right now!

39. Separating Oil from Water Di Gao, a chemical engineer at the University of Pittsburg, invented a plastic- coated cotton material that could clean up the Gulf.

40. Designing Better Cars Marcus Ashford, a mechanical engineer at the University of Alabama, has invented a car engine with 80% less exhaust emissions.

41. Cleaning Up the Ocean Alexandria Boehm is an environmental engineer who works on ways to clean up oceans near where people live.

42. Designing Space Colonies Kimberly Jones is a civil engineer working on purifying water so that we can one day go to Mars!!!

43. Controlling Computers with Thoughts Daniel Moran, a biomedical engineer at Washington University, has invented a way to play video games using only the human mind!

44. Listening for Cancer John Viator, a biological engineer, has invented a way to hear cancer cells.

45. Which engineer is ‘better?’

46. Good Traits for Engineers Enjoy solving problems Like working with other people (strong teamwork skills) Interested in solving society’s needs Want to make things work better Strive for continual improvement Able to adapt to a changing environment Good communication skills Strong study skills Desire to constantly learn new things Data analysis skills Strong computer skills Dedicated
