ANSWER

1. What Is Engineering?
Engineers can be classified according to the kind of work they doadministration,
construction, consulting, design, development, teaching, planning, production, research, sales,
service, and test engineers. Because engineering deals with the world around us, the number of
engineering disciplines is very large. The table below lists some of the many engineering fields.

Aerospace Ceramic Electrical Mechanical Petroleum

Agricultural Chemical Environmental Metallurgical Sanitary

Architectural Civil Geological Mining Systems

Automotive Computer Manufacturing Nuclear Textile

Biomedical Ecological Marine Ocean Transportation

2. What do engineers do?

Most engineers specialize in a field of engineering. For example, Civil engineering

includes structural and transpotation engineering, and materials engineering includes
ceramic,metallurgical,and polymer engineering. The following list contains information
on a few of the engineering fields n the Federal Governments Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) system.

Biomedical engineers
Chemical engineers
Civil ngineers
 Computer engineers
Elecrical engineers
Environmental engineers
Industrial and manufacturing engineers
Materials engineers
Mechanical engineers
Nuclear engineers

3. What are engineering disciplines?

Most engineering work in office buildings,laboratories,or industrial plants.

Engineers usually work in teams. Sometimes,the tema has only two or three engineers ,
but in large companies,engineering teams can have hundreds of peopple working on a
single project ( design and manufacture of a large aircraft,for example ). Engeneers are
responsible for communicating,planning,designing,manufacturing, and testing emong
other duties.
More than 1.2 million engineers work in the United States today,making engineering the
nations second largest profession. An engineerig degree also opens doors to other
careers. Engineering graduates can move into other profissons,such as medicine,law,and
business,where their engineering prblom solving ability is a valuable asset.

4. What makesgoodengineer?

The 21st century will be characterized by the convergence of many technologies

and engineering systems. The products of today and tomorrow will be smarter in which
computers, sensors, controls, modern alloys, and plastics are as important as continuing
expertise in the traditional engineering disciplines.

Professional ethics
Personal ethics are the standards of human behavior that individuals of different cultures
have constructed to make moral judgments about personal or group situations.
 Naturally, they vary over time and from culture to culture, resulting in conflict when what
is acceptable in one culture is not in another. For example, the notion of privacy in U.S.
culture is very strong, and a desk is considered an extension of that privacy, whereas in
another culture, such as Japan, office space is open and ones desk would be considered
public domain.

The 21st century will be characterized by the convergence of many technologies and
engineering systems. The products of today and tomorrow will be smarter in which
computers, sensors, controls, modern alloys, and plastics are as important as continuing
expertise in the traditional engineering disciplines.

Fundamental canons
Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall

Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.

Perform services only in areas of their competence.

Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner.

Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees.

Avoid deceptive acts.

Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so as to enhance the

honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession.
