Students - What Is Engineering, Anyway?

ENGINEERS ARE PROBLEM SOLVERS

Whether it’s cell phones, digital cameras, DVD’s or facial recognition devices that can pick out a terrorist in a crowded football stadium, engineers are behind almost all of today’s exciting technology. Engineers are problem solvers who search for quicker, better, and less expensive ways to use the forces and materials of nature to meet today’s challenges.

Engineering Technology

Engineering technology uses the knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences to create and enhance technologies that benefit humanity. For example, engineering technologists and technicians help make the bridges, buildings, computers, electrical appliances, power plants, and transportation systems we rely upon.
