Engineering is a broad discipline that applies scientific, mathematical, and practical knowledge to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes. It encompasses various branches such as mechanical, civil, electrical, and chemical engineering, each focusing on specific technology areas and applications. Engineers solve problems, improve existing technologies, develop new innovations, and create efficient processes using principles of physics and mathematics. This field is crucial for infrastructure development, environmental solutions, and technological advancement, impacting every aspect of modern society from transportation and healthcare to telecommunications and beyond. Engineering also plays a critical role in addressing global challenges such as climate change, sustainability, and resource management, pushing the boundaries of what is possible through innovation and design.
