ABOUT

Engineering is not only study of 45 subjects but it is moral studies of intellectual life. Engineering
is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into
shapes we cannot precisely analyse so as to withstand forces we cannot
properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect
the extent of our ignorance.

Engineering problems are under-defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and
indifferent. The art is to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative
activity, involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice.

Engineering refers to the practice of organizing the design and construction [and, I would add operation] of any artifice which transforms the physical world around us to meet some recognized need.
