Lecture Objectives & Activities
Explore definition of Engineering Provide an overview of history of
disciplines Active Learning Activities
Pair-share discussion: Definition of engineering
Small group work: Engineering in an era

Pair-share activity
Work with a partner to create a definition for “engineering” (be as creative and bold as you can!)
Report your definition to the class

1.1 Introduction
Definition of Engineering The profession in which knowledge of
the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to use, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.

1.7 History: Aerospace Engineering
“Aerospace engineering is concerned with engineering applications in the areas of aeronautics (the science of air flight) and astronautics (the science of space flight).
24
1.7 History: Agricultural Engineering Agricultural engineering focuses
on: Soil and water Structures and environment Electrical power and processing Food engineering Power and machinery
25
1.7 History: Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering applies chemistry to industrial processes, such as the manufacture of drugs, cements, paints, lubricants, and the like.
26
1.7 History: Civil Engineering
Civil engineering focuses on structural issues, such as: Bridges and Highways Skyscrapers Industrial Plants and Power Plants Shipping Facilities and Railroad Lines Pipelines, Gas Facilities, Canals
27
1.7 History: Computer and Electrical Engineering

Lecture Recap: Engineering History
A continuum: new innovations stand on shoulders of those who’ve gone before
Engineers are professionals/leaders
Need to understand origin of profession Study history helps understand good
qualities of the past, and create new futures
