Course Description
Engineering is the application of maths, science and technology to design and build machines, structures, materials or engines. A civil engineer might be involved in designing a bridge or a road, while a chemical engineer may focus on a new adhesive. A mechanical engineer might build and maintain an engine, where a software engineer may write a piece of code for a website, such as this one! Many elements of engineering overlap, and knowledge of multiple disciplines are needed across a number of different types of engineering and also other areas of STEMM.
Engineering is the application of scientific discoveries to the real world.
