Have you ever wondered who created the paper you write on, the computer you type on, or the car you ride in everyday? More than likely an engineer had a hand in developing or innovating all of these. Engineering is one of the most important occupations throughout history and still to this day. Whether through through the branches of chemical, mechanical, computer, aeronautical, bio, electrical or civil engineering, they all impact us in many ways.
Before we branch off into the fields of engineering we must first know what is engineering? What is the principles of basic engineering? What is its background and history and most of all what is its applications? Engineering is the field of occupations which tries to solve problems through scientific …show more content…
“Civil engineering, like engineering in general, is a profession with a practical orientation, having an emphasis on building things and making things work. Civil engineers use their knowledge of the physical sciences, mathematics, engineering sciences, and empirical engineering correlations to design, construct, manage, and maintain structures, transportation infrastructure, and environmental treatment equipment and facilities” (Bengtson, 2015). This shows the functional uses for civil engineering and how all people benefit from the contributions of the field; especially through the use of roads and bridges which they design and …show more content…
Engineering can be traced to have started in greece during the ancient area and developed over time through the renaissance into now what is referred to as the modern era. Engineering is the field of occupations which solve problems through mathematical and scientific questioning. Whether through the branches of chemical, mechanical, computer , aeronautical, bio, electrical. or civil engineering each field has major impacts on all of us through their creations and ideas. Without the contributions that engineering has provided we all would be living in a much different world. So next time you ride in a car/plane or use a product, or drive on a highway ask yourself how an engineer impacted its
