What is Engineering? (Definition and Types)
Engineering is the application of science and maths to solve problems. While scientists and inventors develop innovations, engineers apply these discoveries to the real world.
Engineering is part of STEM education, which aims to engage students with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics yet, as a discipline, it has been practiced for thousands of years.
You can see engineering examples in the Pyramids of Giza, at Stonehenge, the Parthenon, and elsewhere. Yet, today’s engineers operate in many different areas as well as building structures.
