Engineering

Engineering is defined as:

1. "The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property."


 2. The branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.
-Oxford Dictionaries


My words:
1.       The word engineer comes from Latin words meaning 'devise' and 'cleverness'
2.       Need is the basic quality to become an engineer.

3.       Engineering is the branch which deals with the principles of science that make life more comfortable, easy and secure.
