THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PROFESSION

THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PROFESSION You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?" George Bernard Shaw What is an engineer? Engineers are problem solvers! ENGINEERING is concerned with the implementation of a solution to a practical problem. A scientist may ask "why?" and proceed to research the answer to the question. By contrast, engineers want to know how to solve a problem and how to implement that solution. In other words, scientists investigate phenomena, whereas engineers create solutions to problems or improve upon existing solutions. A scientist builds in order to learn. An engineer learns in order to build. ( ) One way to define ENGINEERING is: how to do new things in new ways (Win Phillips, 1997) Another definition is: " ENGINEERING is the application of math and science to create something of value from our natural resources." The difference between science and ENGINEERING was explained well by Theodore Von Karman, an aerospace engineer.
