Engineering

Define Engineer.

A person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works.

Identify potential career opportunities related to engineering and technology.

Engineering is an amazing blend of creativity, science, technology, and problem-solving

Explain what engineers do.

Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems.

Identify education requirements for engineer occupations and locations where programs of study are available.

Engineers in the United States need a bachelor's degree in engineering. Engineers who work with the public are also required to become licensed. Licence requirements include completing an accredited program and passing a series of exams

Describe the principal fields of engineering specialization and identify associated career tracks.

Foundations of Engineering & Technology prepares students to understand and apply technological concepts and processes that are the cornerstone for the high school technology program. Group and individual activities engage students in creating ideas, developing innovations, and engineering practical solutions.

Describe the social, economic, and environmental impacts of a technical process, product, or system.

Foundations of Engineering and Technology is the introductory course for all Georgia Engineering and Technology Education pathways. This course provides students with opportunities to develop fundamental technological literacy as they learn about the history, systems, and processes of invention and innovation

Development of technology history timeline.

Inventions don't generally happen by accident or in a random order science and technology progress in a very logical way, with each new discovery leading on from the last.

How technology effects on us and society?

Technology and human life cannot be separated; society has a cyclical co-dependence on technology. We use technology; depend on technology in our daily life and our needs and demands for technology keep on rising. Humans use technology to travel, to communicate, to learn, to do business and to live in comfort.

Explain the interaction between technological development and social change.

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to the making of tools to solve specific problems. Technological advances such as automobiles, airplanes, radio, television, cellular phones, computers, modems, and fax machines have brought major advances and changes to the world.

Define Engineering.

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

Describe how external issues constrain the engineering design process.

The engineering design process is a series of steps that guides engineering teams as they solve problems.

Explain educational requirements and professional expectations associated with a chosen technical career path.

They are reliable and consistent in going beyond the minimum expectation and in participating in activities that serve the greater good.Career-ready individuals readily access and use the knowledge and skills acquired through experience and education to be more productive.

Chemical Engineering.

is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences, life sciences, together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy.

Civil Engineering.

is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.

Environmental Engineering.

is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of scientific and engineering principles for protection of human populations from the effects of adverse environments.

Aerospace Engineering.

is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft

Computer Hardware Engineering.

research, design, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, networks, and routers.

Explain a contemporary definition of engineering.

the art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences, as physics or chemistry, as in the construction of engines, bridges, buildings, mines, ships, and chemical plants.

Describe the history and development of engineering.

the development of specialized machines and their maintenance tools during the industrial revolution led to the rapid growth of Mechanical Engineering both in its birthplace Britain and abroad.
