What is Engineering

Simply Engineering Is the practical application of science to commerce or industry. More complexly while scientist is to know, the engineer to do, that is he brings this knowledge from science to solve practical problems. Engineering also differs from science in that it must take requirements into account including costs, safety, performance and limitations on resources.

History of Engineering

It is assumed that the first engineer was "imhotep" building one of the famous pyramids in 2550 BC. Through out history including the Wonders of the ancient world, exemplify engineering achievements as some of these structures a still standing today. These include the Colleseum, Aqueducts , Pyramids etc.
