Engineering Engineering is the discipline of acquiring and applying Knowledge to design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes. Engineers borrow from physics and mathematics to find suitable solutions to the problem at hand. They apply the scientific method in deriving their solutions. If multiple options exist, engineers weigh different design choices on their merits and choose the solution that best matches the requirements. The crucial and unique task of the engineer is to identify, understand, and interpret the constraints on a design in order to produce a successful result. It is usually not enough to build a technically successful product; it must also meet further requirements. Constraints may include available resources, physical, imaginative or technical limitations, flexibility for future modifications and additions, and other factors, such as requirements for cost, safety, marketability, productability, and serviceability. By understanding the constraints, engineers derive specifications for the limits within which a viable object or system may be produced and operated. |
